Auto injuries can wreak havoc on the body, causing pain and discomfort, particularly in areas like the neck, back, and muscles. In such cases, a chiropractor becomes a vital ally in the journey to recovery. Specializing in musculoskeletal issues, chiropractors offer non-invasive and drug-free treatments tailored to the aftermath of auto accidents. They employ techniques such as spinal adjustments and therapeutic exercises to address the specific challenges posed by injuries like whiplash and muscle strains. By focusing on the root causes of pain and restricted mobility, chiropractors aim not only to alleviate immediate discomfort but also to prevent long-term complications.

Disc and soft tissue damage can cause acute neck pain and stiffness -- but that's just the beginning. Impinged cervical nerves in a whiplash case can produce such varied symptoms as headaches, tinnitus, impaired vision, shoulder problems, arm pain/tingling/numbness and many other discomforts.
When even a slow-moving vehicle comes to a sharp, sudden stop, force is transferred to the bodies of the occupants inside, and anything that isn't strapped down may go flying. In whiplash, the head flies backward and forward at high speed, throwing the cervical spine out of balance, herniating discs (which then pinch local nerves) and straining/spraining the neck's muscles and connective tissues.
WHY DOES MY UPPER BACK OR MID-BACK HURT?
Sometimes whiplash can involve the nerves and tissues of the upper back. Another possible cause is a seat belt or shoulder harness injury. If your body was only restrained on one side, the other side may have flow free and twisted your trunk severely enough to cause injury.
An auto impact can dislocate discs in the lower lumbar region of the spine. If those discs push against the sciatic nerve of the leg, you may experience both lower back pain and leg back, numbness or tingling sensations.
HOW CAN CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENTHELP ME?
Chiropractic treatment resolves your symptoms by correcting the imbalances caused by an auto accident. If a detailed examination reveals a misalignment, we will administer adjustments to realign the trouble spot, relieving nerve impingement and facilitating soft tissue healing. We also use natural methods such as massage therapy, electro-stimulation, trigger point therapy and corrective exercises to rehabilitate injured tissues (and, where necessary, other forms of medical intervention).
Even if you don't appear injured, you need to get evaluated for possible injuries that have yet to display symptoms. If a problem exists, we need to correct it!
