If you have been in a car accident, you probably have experienced some injuries. You can get broken bones, whiplash, spinal injuries, abrasions, or brain injuries. It might seem like back pain and whiplash are not the worst injuries, but these are some that can really impact your everyday life.
Back pain can affect the way that you work around your house, participate in your activities, fulfill work duties, spend time with friends and family, etc. It can impact every aspect of your life. You can take pain medication, but that won’t eliminate the pain for good. The best way to help eradicate the pain is to get some treatment.
Many people after car accidents go to a chiropractor, but some people do not think that a chiropractor could help them. According to Heathline, chiropractic care “involves manual manipulation that encourages your body to heal itself”. Here are some of the ways that a chiropractor helps after a car accident.
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Whiplash
- Headaches and Migraine
- Osteoarthritis
- Sciatica
- Scoliosis
Our clients who have sought out chiropractic care have felt relief from their car accident related injuries. According to Uptown Denver Chiropractic, the types of care you can receive from chiropractors include:
- Spinal manipulation and mobilization to improve mobility and alignment
- Flexion-distraction technique to gently take pressure off compressed discs
- Muscle relaxer modalities like E-stim to reduce spasms and tension
- Massage and heat therapy to loosen strained back muscles.
They also stated that most injuries can improve after about “4` to 6 weeks”. If you have been in a car accident, and you are experiencing some back or neck pain or headaches, you should try to go to a chiropractor as soon as possible.
