Chiropractic Treatment for Auto Accident Injury Cases
Auto accidents can hurt people in all kinds of ways, and it will come as no surprise to learn that many such injuries involves the spine, joints, nerves and muscles. But if you are dealing with neck, back or other pain from an auto accident injury, our team at Atlantic Chiropractic and Rehabilitation can help you get back to health and back on the road. Here are some of the injuries we can treat through our natural, non-surgical healing methods:
Whiplash - This common aftermath of an accident occurs when your head is abruptly whipped forward and backward under the powerful forces of a vehicular collision. Your cervical discs may be dislodged from the correct position, creating nerve pressure that causes headaches, neck pain, and tingling in the arms or hands. Cervical spinal adjustments can relieve the nerve pressure, while corrective exercises and physiotherapy rebuilds damaged tissues and helps them heal correctly. We also use the Activator Technique for very precise, targeted, low-force manual corrections.
Low back pain - The same kinds of damage that afflicts whiplash patients can also occur in the lower spine. An auto accident can leave you with low back pain as well as shooting pains or other odd sensations in your legs, a condition known as sciatica. Spinal adjustments, the Activator Technique, massage and other rehabilitative therapies can relieve your pain without drugs and help you strengthen your back against future injuries.
Shoulder pain - While some shoulder pain may be from a neck or back injury, bouncing around inside a vehicle can certainly cause shoulder injuries such as a torn rotator cuff. Many of these cases respond nicely to non-surgical therapies such as physiotherapy and massage.
