How a Car Accident Might Affect Your Body
Car accidents can exert tremendous amounts of pressure on the body. While seatbelts, airbags, and other safety mechanisms may reduce the impact on the body, your spine, muscles, and other tissues may be subjected to high levels of force.
One common condition that results from a car accident is whiplash. This occurs when you come to a sudden stop, but the neck and head whip forward, straining the muscles and bones in your neck, back, and beyond. It’s even possible that your spine may become misaligned due to whiplash.
Even if you don’t suffer whiplash, the spine could still be knocked out of alignment. If so, it could result in lasting pain because the misaligned spine will create tension in muscles throughout the body. Muscles could also simply be strained due to the tremendous forces placed on them when you get in a crash.
If you or a loved one have been in an accident, you can see an auto injury chiropractor in Woodbury, MN, by visiting the Chiropractic Rehabilitation Center. Dr. Crane and Dr. Wilson can help.
Chiropractic Care for Auto Accidents
Chiropractors can help with the lingering pain that often results from an auto accident. First, if your spine has become misaligned, a chiropractor can use spinal manipulation, AKA chiropractic adjustments, to ensure proper alignment. This can result in lasting pain relief.
Often, massage therapy is deployed alongside chiropractic adjustments. This treatment focuses on soft tissues and reduces tension within muscles. Massage therapy can frequently deliver quick, if not instant, pain relief.
A chiropractor can also teach you a variety of exercises that you can perform at home to relieve muscle tension, encourage good posture, and strengthen muscles. This can help provide lasting relief from pain.
