How A Kent WA Chiropractic Office Helps Auto Accident Injury Sufferers With Pain

By Clayton Maske


Serious injuries can occur to the driver or passenger in an automobile accident. Pain ranging from moderate to excruciating may be the result. For accident victims, help can be administered at Kent Chiropractic.

The first office visit will be devoted to an analysis and assessment of the injury. A discussion and your description of how you feel is important. Next a physical exam is done.

Some tests that are used include range-of-motion, observing the gait and sometimes an x-ray is necessary. No care plan can be suggested by your chiropractor until your condition is fully evaluated. After that, a suitable program of care can be implemented.

For spinal misalignment injuries manual adjustments are frequently the most appropriate method of care. A series of appointments will be scheduled for them to be administered. Massage and a mild exercise program may be adjunctive methods of care.

Pain may be experienced in other parts of the body due to a spinal injury. All the delicate nerve roots are located along the spine. Compression to one of these nerves can result in significant pain.

A rear-end collision can cause a whiplash injury to the neck. This makes it painful and often impossible to turn the head from side-to-side. The automobile can be traveling at a low rate of speed and still cause such an injury.

The traditional method of care is a series of manual adjustments. A cervical collar is sometimes used to stabilize the head for a few days. A lack of movement, for example sitting immobile for a week, is not advisable.

Your chiropractor will give advice on how long to rest and whether or not to exercise. Office visits will be devoted to manual adjustments to alleviate the hurt. The ultimate goal is usually a return to the workplace as well as recreational activities you once enjoyed.
