Berger Chiropractic and Wellness June 2014 See Your Chiropractor After an Auto Accident See Your Chiropractor After an Auto Accident Auto accidents are an unfortunate part of life in Deerfield Beach. South Florida has no shortage of aggressive and careless drivers. When you’re involved in a collision, it can be both physically and mentally traumatizing. Even if the accident is a minor fender bender, the impact from the collision can cause whiplash and can cause damage to the neck or spinal region. In some cases, pain from a car accident doesn’t show up until days or weeks later. Don’t wait for the neck pain from an auto accident to make your life difficult. It’s important to seek chiropractic care immediately. Back and neck pain are the most common ailments caused by car accidents. A licensed chiropractor is highly-trained to utilize spinal manipulation to help relieve these injuries. The sooner these injuries are addressed, the better your chances to living pain-free. Failure to address these injuries can result in chronic pain. By utilizing chiropractic care, most patients can find relief without having to resort to surgery. Here’s how it works. When a person is involved in an auto accident, the impact knocks or whips the musculoskeletal system out of proper alignment. The force from a rear-end collision knocks the cervical spine back and forth. The accident not only affects the neck and spine, it also affects the surrounding muscles. This is what often causes the sensation of soreness, pain and stiffness. One of the problems with convention medical care is the use of painkillers only masks a patient’s symptoms. It may provide short-term pain relief. But it’s not really attacking the source of the pain. Simply using medication isn’t going to help someone regain their full mobility following an injury to the spine. An experienced chiropractor is able to manipulate the spine, which helps relieve the nerves and muscles. Once a patient’s range of motion is restored, they can begin participating in corrective exercises to help rejuvenate the neck and spinal region. The consequences of whiplash run deeper than simply neck and back pain. It can also cause headaches, migraines, shoulder pain, fatigue, jaw and facial pain. All of these symptoms can be relieve by visiting a chiropractor immediately after an accident.
