How is chiropractic care used to treat auto accident injuries and personal injuries like slip-and-fall accidents?

Most auto accidents and personal injuries – even relatively minor ones – involve some insult or injury to the musculoskeletal system which includes the bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Even injuries where there is no direct impact on the body can cause jolts and “shocks” that can damage soft tissues and cause the spine and other joints to fall out of alignment. Chiropractic care is focused on treating the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, which can make it an especially good choice for the treatment of many types of traumatic injuries. Plus, chiropractors are skilled in many types of treatments, which means they can customize each treatment plan to suit specific symptoms and to treat multiple issues using a holistic approach to care.

What is whiplash?

Whiplash is an injury often associated with car accidents, but which can also occur with other types of accidents, including slip-and-fall accidents. It occurs when the head and neck are snapped violently forward and backward, causing soft tissue damage that can affect muscles, ligaments, tendons, and even nerves and blood vessels. Whiplash causes chronic symptoms, including headaches, neck pain and electricity-like shocks to the arms and neck that occur when nerves are “pinched” or irritated by inflamed tissues. Chiropractic treatment can be an ideal treatment option for patients with whiplash, helping to relieve nerve impingements while promoting improved circulation to aid in healing.
