Common Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents affect almost all parts of the body. A significant injury caused by car accidents is whiplash. This is a condition caused when the cervical spine is whipped to the front and back shortly due to a high impact caused by car collisions. The misalignment leads to many injuries like strained muscles and severe injuries to the neck, shoulder, and back of the individual. These injuries can result in intense pain that goes on to cause discomfort for months.

Chiropractic Car Accident Treatments In Murfreesboro

Every injury is different, so we like to do an assessment first to know what kind of procedures we would use. Generally, the most common chiropractic treatment that we offer is spinal manipulation. This involves the adjustment of the vertebrae to give immediate relief from pain. We also recommend specific exercises that work wonders for victims of car accidents. The exercise gets the body moving and improves the range of motion. Other great options to are muscle stimulation or relaxation therapy.

The treatment that will be eventually used depends on the individual and the type of car accident the individual was involved in. that is why a proper physical examination is very important.

Addressing The Cause

It’s not enough to take as many painkillers as possible to hide the pain caused by the injuries. You might feel better after some time. When you take painkillers, they block your ability to feel pain, but that won’t last for a long time, and eventually, the effect of the drugs will fade away, and the pain will continue to come back in full force. Addressing the cause of the pain will lead to proper tackling of the real problem, which automatically translates to better health long term.
