Beat Auto Accident Pain Naturally: How Chiropractic Care Helps With Recovery

Auto accidents can be traumatic experiences that leave victims with a wide range of injuries. While severe injuries require immediate life saving attention, at some point, the injured person should be assessed to determine how they can benefit from natural chiropractic care.

Common Accident Injuries

Whiplash

Whiplash is a common injury that occurs when the neck is jerked back and forth suddenly.  This can cause the soft tissues in the neck to stretch and tear, nerves can be injured or the position of bones to be altered. Whiplash can be caused by low-speed collisions and doesn’t have to be a high impact crash, in fact, even sudden stops without an impact can create whiplash. Symptoms of whiplash may include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and dizziness.

Back Pain

Back pain is another common accident injury that can occur due to the impact of the collision. It can be caused by muscle strains, sprains, or damage to the spinal bones. Chiropractic care can help realign the spine and reduce pressure on the nerves including the spinal cord, which can alleviate pain and promote healing and function.

Headaches

Headaches can be caused by several factors after a car accident, including whiplash, concussion, and tension in the neck and shoulder muscles. Chiropractic care can help alleviate headaches by reducing tension in the neck and promoting proper alignment of the spine.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can result from the impact of the collision or from holding onto the steering wheel during the accident. Care with us may help improve shoulder mobility and reduce pain by addressing any underlying issues in the spine.

Knee and Hip Pain

Knee and hip pain are common car accident injuries that can result from hitting the dashboard or the steering wheel. Chiropractic care can help reduce knee and hip pain by improving joint mobility and addressing any underlying issues with the spine or nervous system.
