After a car accident, seeking treatment from an auto injury chiropractor is often not the first thing that comes to mind. We focus on getting the car repaired, settling up with our insurance companies, and getting on with our busy lives. While this rush to “get back to normal” is completely natural, it can also unwittingly have a detrimental affect on our health. You may walk away from a minor fender bender and feel just fine, not realizing that you’ve actually sustained a serious whiplash injury. It can be weeks before the full impact of neck pain becomes evident.
Effective treatment is more than just getting a quick check-up in the emergency room after an accident. Accident victims typically need a combination of medical, chiropractic and rehabilitative care. The importance of this integrated approach is clear: integrated care enhances pain management following an auto accident and helps injuries heal quickly and safely.
Below, our auto injury chiropractor shares three reasons why seeking prompt care after a car accident is so important:
Whiplash injuries are one of the most common auto accident injuries; however, it’s also not an “obvious” injury like a broken bone. Whiplash occurs when the force of a rear impact accident “whips” the neck backwards and forwards. This whipping action can knock the cervical spine out of alignment, causing chronic neck pain, headaches, stiffness and soreness. Chiropractic care restores proper alignment, alleviating this pain.
Immediate treatment helps minimize inflammation and swelling, which relieves pain, supports the body’s natural healing process, and helps restore a full range of mobility.
Our Synergy approach to care combines medical, rehab and chiropractic services into one fully integrated auto injury treatment plan for enhanced pain management and injury rehabilitation.
