MOST COMMON CHIROPRACTIC TECHNIQUES FOR AUTO INJURIES

Auto injuries can be both painful and traumatic. They can leave you with injuries, such as whiplash, back pain, and more. If you don’t get treatment soon enough (and stay on top of your treatment), your pain could linger for months, and no one wants that. 

If you were in a car crash, it’s a good idea to seek out chiropractic care quickly. That way, we can help you get a jump start on healing and recovery. Today, we’re going to talk about the different chiropractic techniques utilized for auto injuries so that you have an idea of what will go on at your appointments.

CHIROPRACTIC TECHNIQUES TO TREAT AUTO INJURIES

Below are a few of the main chiropractic techniques for people recently in a car accident:

#1: CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS

Adjustments are used to restore your body’s alignment, as well as take down your pain levels, reduce inflammation, decrease stiffness, and more. How do they work? We will add pressure strategically to the joints in the spine. 

#2: MASSAGE 

In case you didn’t know, massage is extremely helpful for car accident injuries, and it goes hand in hand with chiropractic care. Our licensed massage therapists can massage the injured parts of your body to help boost flexibility, blood circulation, etc. 

#3: HOT AND COLD THERAPY

A commonly used, non-invasive chiropractic technique is hot and cold therapy, which involves putting hot and cold compresses on the body in combination with your chiropractic adjustment. That can help return blood flow to your injured body parts, elevate your comfort levels, and decrease soreness. 

#4: PHYSICAL THERAPY 

Physical therapy works by helping your body function properly again post-accident. We may recommend different exercises and stretches to lower the chance of your injury worsening. It can also help you manage your pain and support your mobility. 

BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR AUTO INJURIES 

There is a long list of benefits of chiropractic care for car accident injuries. You’ll find a short breakdown below: 

  • Lower Pain Levels: One of the biggest benefits of working with a chiropractor is we can help you manage your pain and decrease your pain levels. That is, without using surgery or prescription painkillers. 
  • Promote Better Mobility: Auto injuries can hurt your range of motion. Fortunately, chiropractic care can help with this.  
  • Bring Down Inflammation: Inflammation is bound to happen after an auto accident, and it can affect your muscles and ligaments (not to mention increase your pain). Our chiropractic techniques offer solutions to overcome that inflammation.

Decrease the Amount of Scar Tissue: There’s a good chance that your muscles will get scar tissue if you’ve been hurt in a car crash. That can be not only stiff but also painful. As chiropractors, we can work on any damaged areas to help take down the scar tissue and help your body heal.
