The Value of Chiropractic Care After a Car Accident

A car accident is extremely traumatic on your body. A chiropractor can help you heal!

If you’ve been involved in a car accident, professional chiropractic care is one of the first things you should look into. Chiropractic care can offer significant pain relief and improve overall quality of life, and this is especially true for patients after experiencing physical trauma from a car accident. According to the National Institute of Health, untreated injuries from car accidents can lead to chronic pain. Fortunately, chiropractors are well trained and educated in treating patients with non-invasive methods to help relieve pain, as well as align the spine and other areas of the body.


After a Car Accident

Depending on injuries and the severity of a car accident, it’s typically recommended that people who were involved in a car accident to consult a chiropractor within the first 72 hours of the car accident. In consulting with a chiropractor soon after being involved in a car accident, the chiropractor can determine whether there are any underlying injuries that need attention. But more importantly, a chiropractic professional can examine your body and hopefully, provide a clean bill of health so you can move forward.


Car Accident Injuries

If you do suffer injuries from a car accident a chiropractor can work with you to make a treatment plan from beginning to end. Unlike most medical doctors, chiropractors offer an intimate and personable experience of care so you can feel supported and optimistic for the future. If it’s found that you do in fact have injuries from a car accident, a chiropractor will develop a treatment plan that’s catered to your specific needs, your injuries, and the outcomes of your adjustments. In the beginning, visiting the chiropractor may be as frequent as multiple times a week. Over time the treatment plan may change and shift based on how you’re responding to the adjustments and other recommendations of the chiropractor. A chiropractor might make other recommendations such as at home stretching, moist heat, massage therapy, spinal decompression therapy, and more. This all depends on the specific injuries and condition of the patient.


According to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, 13 car accidents occur every minute, which means car accidents are very common. It’s important for people to be aware of their options after suffering a car accident. Too often do patients rely on the advice of one or two medical physicians and they don’t think to consult with a chiropractor. It’s important to understand that chiropractors are here to help and provide a different approach to treating the human body than the modern medical industry. If you have been involved in a car accident and are experiencing pain, it may be worth visiting your local chiropractor. Your local chiropractor can provide you with a wealth of information as well as hands on care that can help with your pain and overall quality of life.
