Unless you have been involved in a major auto accident, most of us may be more worried about the damage done to our car than about what damage could have taken place in our bodies. Even if you don’t appear to have any evident injuries, you could have hidden injuries that may not be apparent for weeks, months, or even years! If you neglect taking care of your body, you could develop a chronic and permanent condition with debilitating pain and arthritis as you get older. Subluxations that occurred in your spine during the accident often remain in your body and prevent healing. That may be the reason why over half of accident victims never completely recover from their injuries and may live on painkillers, physical therapy, or even repeated surgeries for years.

It’s important that you seek the help of an auto accident chiropractor as soon as possible after your accident. They will guide your body toward its most natural and rapid healing state. Chiropractic adjustment (also called spinal manipulation) will gently re-establish normal motion, taking the pressure off injured joints and allowing them to heal naturally!

Here are five major benefits of chiropractic care after a car accident:

Many people suffer from chronic pain in their lower back, limbs, and neck. To help keep your pain under control, or even reach a level of little to no pain at all, it takes consistent chiropractic therapy, also called spinal manipulation. Because our bodies are subject to stress and injury in our daily activities, it is important to keep up with regular treatment for the long term to relieve this stress and nerve interference.

When a patient visits our office with chronic and debilitating pain, a period of intensive treatment is often prescribed to allow the pain and disability levels to decrease. Thus, once the levels of pain have decreased to little or no pain at all, it is important to follow up with chiropractic therapy on a regular consistent basis. Otherwise, it is probable that a patient’s level of pain and/or disability will revert back to their pre-treatment levels.

As the summer ended, did you end up sitting on the bench, boat dock, or on the couch in pain while everyone else continued on with their fun? If so, you should seriously look for good chiropractic care! You think that your pain will just go away with a little medication or sleep. However, it’s still there in the morning. You need a diagnosis of the cause of the pain so that you can receive specialized chiropractor services designed for your particular problems.

The term “chiropractic adjustment” can also be referred to as “spinal manipulation.” As you may already know, this is the primary chiropractic treatment method for back pain, relieving pressure on joints, reducing inflammation, and improving nerve function. Chiropractic adjustments have been a trusted form of treatment since the ancient Greek Hippocrates documented manipulative techniques in his writings back in 1500 B.C. Today, spinal manipulation (chiropractic adjustment) is used to treat many other conditions, including allergies, menstrual cramps, headaches/migraines, neck pain, and back pain.

So what happens when you get a chiropractic adjustment? Although there are different techniques used by chiropractors (some may use manual force, while others techniques are more gentle), all are intended with specific and precise manipulation to restore or enhance joint function with the objectives of reducing joint pain and inflammation. Chiropractic adjustments can keep body functioning at its highest level without pain. When the spine is in proper alignment, the body can respond and perform as it was built to do.
