5 Reasons to See a Chiropractor After a Car Accident

Chiropractic treatments are often recommended after a car accident as they help bring your spine back to proper alignment.

• Reduce inflammation - Inflammation is one of the most common consequences of physical injury. Some inflammation is normal and indicates that your body is attempting to heal itself, but too much inflammation can cause discomfort. Our treatments are designed to manipulate your spine into realignment, allowing your body to respond properly.
• Minor Auto Accidents Can Lead to Major Injuries - Even with a minor accident, you might not think it would lead to more significant injuries. Slow-speed auto accidents can lead to trauma for your muscles, tendons, bones, and ligaments. Accidents can cause misalignments in your body which can lead to severe pain.
• Minimize Pain - Receiving adjustments following a car accident can help minimize pain. During spinal manipulations, your body will naturally release pain-relieving hormones. Not only that, we help ensure no other complications arise from a misaligned spine.
• Restore Range of Motion - You may notice that your neck or back can lose flexibility after a car accident. Loss of flexibility can be caused by a misalignment of the joints in the spine, the development of scar tissue, or inflammation. Chiropractic treatments are designed to restore your range of motion.
• Deliver Peace of Mind - We believe it’s vital to check yourself out by a medical professional to ensure you have no severe injuries. Dr. Mike will do a chiropractic exam and x-rays to ensure nothing is out of the ordinary.

Why See a Chiropractor for Whiplash?

Whiplash is one of the most common, if not number one, injuries following an auto accident. This is an injury in which the shoulder, neck, and skull are violently jolted due to vehicle collisions. When this happens, the neck and ligaments push past their limits and can cause your body to heal improperly, which could lead to chronic pain for life. Seeing a chiropractor can help restore proper alignment to your back, neck, and shoulders.
