Chiropractic Rehabilitation for Car Accident Injuries
When you first visit Atlantic Chiropractic & Rehab, Dr. Santjer evaluates your injuries. You may be suffering from a concussion, whiplash, back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain or chest pain depending on how the accident occurred. Once we have a diagnosis, we use chiropractic care to ease your discomfort. The first step is often a spinal adjustment to position the vertebrae into an alignment that allows freedom of movement and reduced pressure on nerves. Dr. Santjer also gently adjusts joints including your shoulders, hips, and knees to lessen pain and improve proper healing. Once your body is aligned, we show you our car accident rehabilitation exercises. Some of these you perform with us and others you will use at home. The exercises are designed to restore flexibility and strength to your injured areas. This routine helps to support your spine and joints while also allowing for an improved range of motion. As you progress through chiropractic care, we may suggest massage therapy to eliminate scar tissue build up after the injury. Massage therapy is also a wonderful way to decrease stress following this intense event. Our wellness staff guides you through small changes you can make at home and work to reduce your discomfort and help your body heal with proper alignment. This may include adjustments such as the height of your computer monitor, the height of your work desk, taking breaks to sit or stand, sleeping on your back and bending the knees. Our care team will show you which changes are important to keep you pain-free. To learn more or to schedule your evaluation, please contact us today at 757-547-4325.
