If you've been in an auto accident, chiropractic care can provide effective relief from pain and help you recover faster by addressing underlying issues such as whiplash and soft tissue injuries. Don't let your injuries linger—Learn more below about how chiropractic care can help bring relief through non-surgical means.
Common Types of Auto Accident Injuries
Drivers and passengers may suffer mild to severe injuries from vehicular accidents. These injuries include the following list of common injuries treated with chiropractic care:
- Whiplash (neck strain)
- Spinal joint dislocation (misalignment)
- Knee and shoulder injuries
- Spinal cord compression from a back injury
- Muscle strains and other soft tissue trauma
- Headaches or migraines from a concussion
When to Get Chiropractic Care after a Car Crash
The best time to talk to a chiropractic care, is immediately following the accident, after receiving any necessary urgent medical care, or if you experience any of these symptoms:
- Back or neck pain
- Joint or soft tissue swelling
- Body aches, pain, or muscle spasms
- Stiffness or limited mobility
- Shoulder, arm, leg, or knee pain
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness
These are signs of injury that can cause complications the longer they go without treatment. In fact, you should still consider chiropractic care even if you feel okay.
Treatment from an Auto Accident Chiropractor in Florida
Medications temporarily treat pain and inflammation, but do not directly address the source of your auto injury symptoms. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive and drug-free way to relieve pain, soreness, and stiffness. It is an effective option for whiplash, vertebral subluxations, nerve compression, and other accident-related complaints.
Dr. Daniel Rubin and Dr. Gregory Smith have years of expertise in realigning the spine using various spinal adjustment techniques. Adjustments also eliminate nerve interference, restore musculoskeletal balance, unlock restricted joints, and increase mobility. He can also adjust the shoulders, knees, and other joints to bring them back into alignment.
Patients with a herniated disc may benefit from non-surgical spinal decompression. This treatment gently stretches the spine, allowing damaged spinal discs to slip back into position. Spinal decompression also increases the flow of nutrient-rich fluid to the spine, allowing it to heal.
Your personalized wellness plan may also include massage therapy, myofascial release, and corrective exercise to restore soft tissue balance, strengthen the muscles, and increase flexibility.
