Chiropractor Heals Car Accident Injury Patients

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries sustained in an car accident. This occurs when the neck is suddenly “whipped” back and forth rapidly and stretched past its normal range of motion. The motion of the neck being thrust quickly can disrupt and upset the nervous system around the neck and back; it can disturb muscles, joints and connective tissue causing neck pain, headaches, aching shoulders, back pain and fatigue.

Whiplash is common in collision type car accident injury, but the symptoms and pain do not always show up immediately. It can take days or even months for certain types of pain to surface. The damage caused by whiplash and other nervous system injuries occurs the day of the accident so it is extremely important to visit a chiropractor following an automobile accident so that you can correct any damage before it worsens or spreads into other areas of your body.

Shoulder pain is another car accident injury that can be successfully treated with chiropractic techniques. There are many causes of shoulder pain such as shoulder separation, tendonitis, cracked collar bone or muscle strain. The injury not only causes pain in the shoulders, but it can irritate other areas causing neck and back pain as well. Our Cedar Park chiropractor will focus on finding the cause of the pain and not only treating the pain, but correcting the problem. Some methods that may help with shoulder pain are massage therapy and corrective exercises.

Car accident injury can be treated by using several different chiropractic techniques. Our chiropractor uses spinal adjustments or manipulations which will help alleviate back and neck pain as well as heal injuries that were caused by a misalignment in the neck or back. Spinal decompression is another treatment that is used to alleviate fluid build-up around the spinal cord. We use a machine for the spinal decompression methods which is non-invasive. Massage therapy is another technique that works well for car accident injury. Massage helps to relax the muscles and allow damaged tissue to heal.

Dr. Tuggle, our Cedar Park chiropractor, will often combine techniques such as spinal decompression and massage therapy to give you the benefits of multiple treatments which helps your injuries to heal faster. Each chiropractor session begins with a consultation and evaluation to determine the proper and most effective way to treat you pain and heal your injury.
