Car Accident Care
Have you or somebody you know been involved in an automobile crash?
Beyond whiplash, car accidents can produce a number of symptoms and conditions, including:
- Back Pain
- Chest Pain
- Headaches
- Radiating pain into the extremities
- Neuropathy
- Disc herniation
- Numbness
- Pinched Nerves
It cannot be stressed enough that people who have been in a car accident should immediately be checked for spinal injuries and injuries to other joints in the body. Even minor accidents can create forces on the body that can cause a lifetime of pain. Following a car accident, symptoms may be masked by pain medication or by more acute pain located elsewhere. The force created by a collision can injure muscles, ligaments, and joints, and it should be noted that pain from an accident may not manifest for days following the injury.
A chiropractor can evaluate damage to the spine and extremities following an accident to ensure further injury does not occur.
Relief from the trauma of an accident can begin immediately through gentle adjustments focused on restoring stability to the joints of the body. Avoiding a long-term problem depends on quickly identifying the specific injuries so treatment can begin. Often, these injuries are not immediately evident which causes a dangerous delay in having an evaluation and beginning treatment.
The best moment to come to our clinic is right after an accident. Frequently, individuals feel no neck pain, back pain or other signs of pain for many days or weeks. Nevertheless, our chiropractor is experienced in diagnosing auto incident injuries before it causes problems.
If you suffer from car accident injury and are in need of a chiropractor to assess and treat your injuries, call us today at (207) 582-2222.
