Guide to Visiting an Auto Injury Chiropractor
If you’ve been in an auto accident, you have a lot on your plate. While you’re dealing with insurance claims and a damaged vehicle, don’t forget to prioritize your health. In this guide, Dr. Globa and the team at Globa Chiropractic in Brooklyn Park, MN, explain how visiting an auto injury chiropractor can help you get back on track more quickly.
The Effects of an Auto Accident
Auto accidents – even minor ones – can cause a lot of issues within the musculoskeletal system. The force of a crash is applied to the body, which can lead to many types of injuries and a wide range of undesirable symptoms. These include but are not limited to the following:
- Whiplash
- Sprains and strains
- Herniated discs
- Pinched nerves
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Headaches
- Dislocations and more
In addition to these issues are those that can occur when nerves become compressed. As this compression impacts the nerves’ ability to function properly, it can lead to poor organ function, difficulty sleeping and concentrating, ongoing illnesses, and more.
Chiropractic Care for Auto Injuries
Chiropractic care seeks to address the root of your symptoms, leading to lasting relief and restoring function of the body. It’s highly customized to the individual’s needs and might include a combination of the following techniques.
- Adjustments: The force from auto accidents often causes a misalignment in the spinal column. Adjustments help restore proper alignment, naturally relieving any related symptoms.
- Spinal decompression: Herniated discs are also common in auto accidents, as the force can cause swift changes in the spinal column and cause a disc to tear. Spinal decompression therapy is used to help gently stretch the spine, creating a vacuum effect that pulls the discs back into place.
- Soft tissue therapy: From the stiffness of whiplash to sprains and strains, various techniques can be employed to relieve tension and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Some of these effective techniques include electrical stimulation therapy, chiropractic massage, and therapeutic ultrasound.
- Therapeutic exercise: Targeted stretching and strengthening exercises are effective in correcting a wide range of issues, as well as helping prevent them from occurring again.
