How Chiropractic can help With Whiplash & Car Accidents

Chiropractic care offers numerous benefits for whiplash and car accident injuries, including pain relief, mobility restoration, strength and function enhancement, and minimizing long term effects. At Connected Chiropractic, we collaborate with all auto insurance companies ensuring seamless access to quality care after a car accident.

Sometimes after a car accident or personal injury, care can be daunting, while the long-term effects of such an event are often overlooked. Many times, the initial shock to the body is overlooked and after a few days the aches and or pain begin as inflammation increases in affected areas of the body. There can be the initial shock to the body that acts as a protector and then a few days later you may notice aches and pain that is different from the initial injury. It’s also possible that there could be long term effects to the body without initial evaluation and treatment during the early days of an injury.

Chiropractors specialize in diagnosing and treating injuries to the spine and musculoskeletal system, which are often the most common injuries after accidents. Whether it is whiplash from a car crash or a herniated disc from a fall, chiropractic adjustments can help restore normal function to the affected area, reducing pain and inflammation.

• Non-Invasive Treatment: Chiropractic care is non-invasive, meaning there is no need for surgery or medication. This is particularly appealing for patients seeking a natural path to recovery.
• Addressing the Root Cause: Chiropractors focus on identifying and treating the root cause of pain rather than masking symptoms with medication.
• Comprehensive Documentation: Detailed medical reports provided by chiropractors can serve as essential documentation in personal injury claims, supporting patients in their legal proceedings.
• Increased Mobility: Restoring proper spinal alignment improves your range of motion, helping you get back to your daily activities.

How can Chiropractic Care Provide Relief?

Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the brain and nervous system). It also focuses on how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. It is founded upon the principle that the body’s innate healing power is affected by and integrated through the nervous system.

Based on these principles, chiropractic care can provide relief in many ways if you are experiencing pain and injury symptoms.

• Chiropractic adjustments re-align the spine and encourage the nerve pathways to improve. Adjustments start to correct the misfiring that occurs in the neurons causing a heightened sensitivity to pain. Additionally, adjustments help improve sleep patterns. A more restful sleep helps the healing process. Adjustments also encourage better cognitive function. By realigning the Spine, Connected Chiropractic’s board-certified Chiropractor is reducing interference within the brain. Decreasing inflammation and swelling will help to improve range of motion and flexibility. You will notice an increase in tone and strength in the affected area.
• StemWave Treatment is a regenerative medical technique that utilizes harmless, yet powerful acoustic waves to activate your body’s natural healing mechanisms. This innovative technology is designed to help patients with musculoskeletal conditions by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation and healing your body naturally.
• Massage Therapy is another tool that we utilize in the office to help with arthritis. It reduces muscle tension, stiffness in the body, and joint pain. It also helps regulate digestion and encourages sleep.
• Electrotherapy (electric muscle stimulation) is also used in our office to help reduce/relieve pain and inflammation sometimes experienced with sports injuries.
• Exercise Therapy and Education is also a benefit our office provides. The use of light aerobic exercise can help you avoid muscle stiffness and joint pain when properly incorporated into your daily routine. Good stretches are also recommended! Diet is reviewed and suggestions are made to improve your diet thereby improving the building blocks for healing. Some modifications in daily activities may also benefit those who suffer from sports injuries. We offer a wide range of activities that can help keep joints loose and pain free.
• Supplements could also be used to help ease systems. A variety can be used to improve sleep, help with depression, and decrease inflammation. Our skilled chiropractor can make recommendations on what supplements and vitamins can work best for you.
• Decompression can sometimes be helpful to relieve pain and realign the muscles joints of the body and decrease inflammation. Decompression therapy of the spine is just exactly as it implies. More specifically, this therapy decompresses the intervertebral discs of the spine while also gently stretching the muscles that run along the spine. This stretching, or spinal traction, improves spinal alignment (posture) and releases tension and tightness from the muscles and connective tissues that can irritate the nerves, which improves nerve function and mobility, and alleviates pain, numbness, and tingling.

Our goal at Connected Chiropractic is to use multiple methods to help restore and preserve your optimal health. We will make a care plan that fits your individual needs, and pairs well with what is already working, to improve your daily life.
