Whiplash, Back Pain, and Auto Accident Injuries Take a Back Seat with Natural Treatments

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries resulting from a car accident. Whiplash is a condition that occurs when a vehicle is rear-ended or otherwise suddenly bumped and the victim’s head is thrust forward and back, not unlike the cracking of a whip. This sudden, violent motion draws the neck ligaments and muscles beyond the body’s normal range of motion. Neck pain and back pain can result from the sudden, violent thrust and the neck and spine can become misaligned.

The violent motion of an auto accident often misaligns the spine, which can lead to a ruptured or herniated disc. Such a rupture usually leads to pain and impeded movement. If left untreated, herniated discs can lead to spinal cord compression, which often results in even greater back pain as well as weakness in the limbs, numbness, and tingling. Back muscles, ligaments, and tendons can also be thrust or traumatized during a vehicle accident, another auto accident injury that results in pain and can include inflammation.

Treatments for such auto injuries depend on the specific nature, severity, and location of the injury, of which can be assessed by our experienced chiropractors. Once an assessment is made, they can best choose the treatment plan that will be most effective for the specific situation.

Our chiropractors use techniques that can help a wide range of injuries by alleviating pain and restoring the body to its natural alignment. Our high-tech equipment includes the ProAdjuster and the Insight Subluxation, computerized devices that that assist our chiropractors with analyzing and treating the spine. Spinal decompression relieves built-up pressure in the spine. Spinal adjustments, or manipulations, help ease the spine into its proper position by manipulating it to its full range of motion.

Massage therapy is another corrective technique our chiropractors use to alleviate pain and promote healing. Massage can help release tension and ease sprains, strains, and other ailments affecting the body’s muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Each chiropractor has massage experience, or patients can use our massage chairs or our HydroMassage units. Acupuncture, which employs needles to restore the body’s vital flow of energy, is another natural healing we use to treat auto accident injures. Physical therapy can supplement all of our treatments.
