One of the most common injuries
from a car accident is the damaging effect of whiplash. Whiplash occurs when a
sudden, jarring movement of the head is sustained backward, forward or even to
the side. Whiplash destabilizes the spine and causes severe pain as well as
blurred vision, neck pain, and reduced range of motion in the neck, arm pains,
etc.
It is imperative that patients
receive chiropractic care. Early chiropractor care and treatment leads to full
healing and recovery. Even a car accident that is seemingly minor with limited
damage to the car itself can cause serious injury to the driver and passengers.
It is important to consult a chiropractor no matter how minor a car accident
may seem.
Here are two ways in which
chiropractic care and treatment help relieve post-car accident stress:
·
Reduce pain. During the occurrence of a car accident, it is very likely that a
subluxation or misalignment has happened. Most commonly the place to be affected
is the spine because of how the body can jerk forward and backward. A chiropractor
manipulates certain pain points to reduce trauma to the body.
·
Restoring mobility. A chiropractor can increase your joint mobility and help you begin
to feel like new again as he/she would be able to loosen stiff joints. Plus,
visiting a chiropractor prevents further damage; a car accident leaves your
body and health in less than optimal conditions. Therefore, it is easier for
your body to sustain further injuries or ailments from another event, such as
minor slip and fall. Receiving care from a chiropractor after a crash will help
ensure that your body is healing and back to how it should be, which will in
turn protect you in the future.
Chiropractic care is considered
safe for just about everyone. Even children and the elderly can benefit from
chiropractic care after a car accident. Most health insurance companies
recognize the benefits of chiropractic care and most health care insurance
companies do cover chiropractic treatment. However, before choosing a chiropractor,
you will want to make sure that they are certified and that you are most
comfortable with the treatment program they offer. Beyond treatment,
chiropractors advise for optimal nutrition as well as exercises to continue
healing on your own after appointments.
