See How A Kent WA Chiropractor Helps Alleviate Car Accident Pain

By Jay Dy


You've just had a car accident. If the accident was extensive, most people will go to a hospital for a checkup, especially if there's a head injury. What many people don't realize is that even a small, minor accident can cause soft tissue injuries, which, if left untreated, could develop into chronic arthritis pain.

Whenever the body is jerked around in an impact event, injuries can occur. Actually, more than half of all cases of whiplash happen in instances in which almost no damage was sustained to the vehicle. If you are physical uncomfortable after one of the events or feel pain, this likely means that you've been injured. Your Kent chiropractor will exam you thoroughly. This professional is trained and able to identify injuries resulting from car accidents and can help you get on the path to recovery.

Why should you work with a chiropractor after being injured in a car accident?

Whiplash is among the most common injuries that people sustain in these events, it occurs whenever the head makes a sudden, jarring motion that travels back to forth or side to side. The spine is weakened by whiplash, , which in turn causes severe discomfort including pain in the arm, shoulder, neck and even lower back. When you work with a Kent chiropractor, spinal manipulation and muscle relaxation/stimulation will be performed, and your provider may suggest ergonomic and lifestyle changes for expediting healing.

Neurological and orthopedic testing can be performed by a chiropractic doctor as well, so as to better assist any damage to the soft tissues, structural harm, range of motion issues, joint and nerve functioning and muscle strength and to know if there are problems that have been overlooked by other practitioners. After the targeted area has been found, you will be given an individualized plan of care from your Kent chiropractor.

The plan might include a chiropractic adjustment schedule, as well as trigger point therapy and frequently deep tissue massages. Chiropractic adjustments may restore health in your spine and surrounding tissue and muscles. Adjustments will help subluxations, strained tissues and herniated discs, returning you to full, pain-free mobility.
