Auto accident injuries cause many kinds of injuries simultaneously. In addition to lacerations, fractures, and internal injuries, you can sustain any number of musculoskeletal and neurological injuries. Whiplash is a notable example. A sudden jolt to the body causes the head to “whip” upward and downward, straining neck muscles, pinching cervical nerves, and throwing your cervical spine out of alignment. Impacts on the lower back can cause lumbar vertebrae to shift and discs to herniate, causing back pain and sciatica. Twisting of the torso beneath your seat restraint can damage your thoracic spine and push ribs out of position.

You should always schedule a physical evaluation after an auto accident, whether you believe you have been injured or not. Some injuries are so subtle that they might go unnoticed at first, especially if the shock of the accident has released large amounts of stress hormones into your bloodstream. This effect can delay the onset of painful symptoms. Trust your commons sense, not your symptoms (or lack thereof).

The sooner you seek treatment for an auto accident injury, the better. Our Chiropractors highly recommend that you receive your evaluation the same day as your injury if it all possible. If you leave a musculoskeletal injury untreated for long, the tissues may develop excessive accumulations of scar tissue known as adhesions. These adhesions can “glue” adjacent muscles, tendons, and fascia together, making motion painful or impossible.

Emergency room doctors or your family physician may be able to treat the more acute or obvious auto accident injuries, and you may need to receive first aid or emergency treatment from these professionals. But you also need to see our chiropractor, Dr. Abramson, so he can check your spine and extremity joints for signs of misalignment — a problem that your other doctors won’t be able to address adequately.

Chiropractic care is highly effective for the treatment of auto accident injuries such as whiplash. By adjusting your spinal and/or extremity joints, chiropractors can take pressure away from nerves, relieving neuromuscular issues, while also easing joint pain and restoring normal range of motion. Spinal decompression therapy can enhance chiropractic care by treating herniated disc problems. Our doctors can also prescribe massage therapy and corrective exercises to suit your individual needs.

Chiropractic treatment is an extremely safe form of auto accident injury treatment — in fact, it offers greater safety than some other treatment methods can provide. Our precise, expert adjustments simply bring your body back to its natural state of alignment. Our all-natural approach also means you can avoid the problems associated with painkilling drugs (addiction, interaction with other medications, and impaired alertness) or major surgery (additional tissue damage, infection or complication risks, and lengthy recuperation times).
