Common Auto Accident Injuries.
You must recognize that there is a possibility that you are asymptomatic or unaware of an injury or the extent of your injuries. That is why seeking a medical assessment or exam after a car accident is essential, even if you display no apparent signs or symptoms of an injury.
A potential auto accident injury may range from bruising or cuts to extremely serious or life-threatening injuries. The most common auto accident injuries include injury to the musculoskeletal system.
Examples would include –
- Whiplash
- Tears to ligaments
- Strains
- Dislocation of bones, among others.
Chiropractic Techniques to Treat an Auto Accident Injury
Choosing a chiropractor evaluation after an automobile accident provides an opportunity to treat an existing yet unmanifested auto accident injury.
Some of the available treatments that can be used to help alleviate pain and its underlying cause include -
- Decompression Mechanical Traction – this FDA-approved therapy has been shown to be both safe & effective in relieving both acute or chronic neck and back pain resulting from disc injuries.
- Shockwave Therapy – this FDA-approved chiropractic complementary therapy uses sound waves to encourage blood flow which then speeds up the healing process. Shockwave therapy can also help to reduce inflammation and break down existing scar tissue.
- MLS or Cold Laser Therapy – this type of complementary therapy uses specifically-designed light waves that, through cellular stimulation, relieve pain and stiffness.
- Chiropractic Adjustments & Manipulation – these mobilizations help to shift vertebrae that may have moved out of place as a result of an auto accident.
- Massage – rehabbing after an auto accident injury often includes massage therapy. This complementary therapy can reduce stress/anxiety, loosen scar tissue, and decrease painful spasms.
