Auto Accident Injury Treatment

Anyone who has been the victim of a car accident knows just seconds of chaos can severely affect your quality of life physically, emotionally and financially leaving you never quite feeling or being 100% again. Even minor car accidents can result in devastating injuries that result in overwhelming medical bills and time lost from work.

Research shows that even low impact accidents at speeds as low as 5 mph can cause bodily injury. Let me assure you, when over ton of steel and glass slam into you, you are very likely going to be hurt — the only question is how much you’re hurt, not if.

If left untreated, these injuries could lead to future problems like headaches, tingling and numbness, muscle weakness and even disc problems.

Most auto injuries are known medically as “soft tissue injuries,” meaning they don’t consist of broken bones or lacerated tissue. Because they’re soft tissue injuries, they really can’t be viewed on an x-ray or similar imaging studies. Many of these injuries can remain “invisible,” yet cause long-term or even permanent disability. You should seek medical attention after a car accident even if you think you have escaped unharmed.

Chiropractic care is exceptional in the treatment of soft tissue injuries, especially of the spine. Since the most common injuries associated with MVA’s are sprains and strains of the spinal muscles and ligaments, it’s only natural that chiropractic be the treatment of choice.
