If you have been in an auto accident, finding pain relief can be important. Pain medication may help but it might only mask the underlying cause of your pain. If you are looking for relief from back pain or neck pain caused by an auto accident, our team at Preferred Chiropractic & Wellness in Atlanta, GA, is more than happy to help.
Common Auto Injuries
Even if you are wearing a seat belt when a crash happens, your body isn't made to sustain impacts like that and you can be injured. Some of the more common auto accident injuries are whiplash (when your head is thrust forward and snaps back), back and spinal injuries, joint pain, and soft tissue injuries.
How Can a Chiropractor Help?
It can be useful to contact an auto accident chiropractor as soon as possible after the accident. Even if you don't feel pain or think it is just a sore neck, underlying issues could just be waiting to pop up later. And, sometimes, your day-to-day activities can exacerbate an issue caused by an accident.
The first thing we do is determine what injuries occurred. We will do a physical exam and then ask for details about the accident. We might ask about your job, hobbies, diet, and overall lifestyle to see if that might worsen your injuries.
Then we may create a holistic, drug-free treatment plan to get rid of the pain using spinal adjustments. We may also use therapeutic ultrasound, trigger point therapy, electrical stimulation, and more to help relieve muscle tension, release fascia knots, and stimulate muscles to promote blood flow and healing.
We may also recommend strengthening and stretching corrective exercises to help heal the injury and prevent it from returning in the future.
