Whiplash is one of the most common car accident injuries that chiropractic care physicians see in patients. If you’ve been in an automobile collision and think you may be suffering from whiplash, you should visit your trusted Clearwater chiropractor as soon as possible.
Do You Have Whiplash?
In many collisions, those inside the vehicle experience an abrupt, jarring movement that destabilizes the spine. When you’ve suffered in an automobile trauma, there may not be visible physical signs of bodily harm, but that doesn’t mean your musculoskeletal system hasn’t been knocked out of alignment.
Listen to what your body is telling you, and visit your local chiropractic care physician immediately if you’ve recently been involved in an auto incident and are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
- Neck, shoulder, arm, or lower back pain
- Blurred vision
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Reduced range of motion or stiffness in the neck
When car accident injuries are left untreated, they can cause the body long-term pain issues. Because major symptoms can lie dormant for days, weeks, or even months, Dr. Marc Rogers, of Coastal Chiropractic in Clearwater, recommends visiting the office immediately after a trauma even if symptoms have not surfaced.
How Can Chiropractic Care Treat Auto Accident Injuries?
Medication alone cannot treat the underlying issues that occur after motor vehicle collision. In fact, many doctors prescribe prescription medications to mask symptoms of pain without providing a long-term solution.
Chiropractic care not only minimizes pain through treatment of the underlying cause, but it also helps patients regain a healthy range of motion.
When car accident injuries knock the body is out of alignment, there can be unnecessary pressure put on the muscles, and nerves can get pinched. Chiropractic adjustments can relieve pressure and pain by realigning the joints and spine.
Choosing a trusted Clearwater chiropractor to treat your bodily trauma with the combination of physical therapies and manipulations of the spine and joints can help minimize your pain and restore your range of motion.
