It is estimated that doctors of chiropractic (DCs) treat more than 30 million Americans (adults and children) annually.
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health.
Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including (but not limited to) back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches. It is used extensively by amateur and professional athletes to prevent and treat injuries as well as achieve optimal health and functioning.
Chiropractic care can be beneficial for car accident injuries for several reasons:
Car accidents can cause misalignments in the spine, known as subluxations, which can lead to pain and restricted movement. Chiropractors specialize in evaluating and adjusting the spine to restore proper alignment. By realigning the spine, chiropractic care can help relieve pressure on nerves, reduce pain, and promote natural healing.
Car accidents often result in soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains, and whiplash. Chiropractors are trained to assess and treat these injuries. They can use various techniques such as massage, stretching, and joint mobilization to reduce inflammation, improve range of motion, and promote healing in the affected tissues.
Chiropractic adjustments and therapies can help alleviate pain caused by car accident injuries. By addressing the underlying structural issues and reducing nerve irritation, chiropractic care can provide natural pain relief without relying solely on medication.
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive and drug-free treatment option for car accident injuries. This can be particularly appealing to individuals who prefer to avoid surgery or excessive use of pain medications. Chiropractors use manual techniques and other therapies to promote healing and restore function, without the need for invasive procedures.
Chiropractors often take a holistic approach to care, considering the whole person and their overall well-being. In addition to addressing the specific injuries from the car accident, they may provide advice on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle modifications to support the healing process and prevent future issues.
Before you begin chiropractic care for a car accident injury, it’s always recommended to seek a thorough medical evaluation immediately after an accident to rule out any severe injuries or fractures.
Complete Care offers medical evaluations and injury screenings with on-site X-ray and digital motion x-rays and then can continue to provide recommended post-accident treatment for recovery.
Also referred to as chiropractors or chiropractic physicians – practice a hands-on, drug-free approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic sinjures and are perhaps best known for their expertise in the use of spinal manipulation; however, they are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, and to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.
