Why Chiropractic for Auto Accidents?

Receiving the proper care for your injuries after an auto accident should be your number one priority. But in some cases, those injuries aren’t so obvious.

Auto accidents can traumatize the body in different ways, from soft tissue injuries to spinal misalignments. If left untreated, these minor issues can lead to serious health conditions over time. 

For head injuries, broken bones, and other serious injuries, it’s important to seek medical attention right away. For all other conditions, including those you might not see or feel right away, chiropractic care is your best option.

Chiropractic takes an in-depth approach to assess your physical health and any underlying issues that might stem from your auto accident. Your chiropractor can recommend the best course of action to help you heal from the inside out and put your accident’s physical trauma in the rearview mirror. 

Common Physical Ailments Due to Auto Accidents

Any time your body is suddenly jerked out of its normal state can cause injury, even if you appear to be fine on the outside. From head-on collisions to small fender benders, it’s important that you receive a thorough examination and get on the path to healing as soon as possible.

Examples of physical health concerns after an auto accident include:

Whiplash

Whiplash is a type of neck injury caused a sudden back-and-forth movement, similar to the cracking of a whip. It’s one of the most common auto accident injuries we treat here at Mission Hills. Symptoms of whiplash include neck stiffness, pain when moving the neck, limited range of motion in the neck, headaches, fatigue, and dizziness. Unlike some auto accident injuries, symptoms of whiplash might not appear immediately following the incident.

Neck, Back, and Shoulder Pain

Car accidents are usually felt throughout the entire body. Your core often takes the brunt of the impact, which results in neck, back, and/or shoulder pain. While some pain after an accident is to be expected, it should not be considered “normal,” as pain is the body’s equivalent to a car’s “Check Engine” light.

Herniated Discs

The soft cushions that separate your vertebrae may bulge after a car accident. This can cause excruciating back pain, as well as numbness or weakness in the arms or legs.

3 Times You Should Get Chiropractic Care!
3 Times You Should Get Chiropractic Care!

One of the basic principles of Chiropractic care is that misalignments in the spine make for overarching effects on many bodily and mental functions. After all, the spine is directly related to the Central Nervous System! When the spine functions properly, the CNS functions properly, which controls all of your motor functions.

Since spinal disorders can cause seemingly unrelated issues, there are a number of symptoms or medical conditions that should prompt you to seek Chiropractic care and to take care of your spine.

Here’s 3 specific times you should get Chiropractic care!
