Whether you are experiencing neck pain due to whiplash or back pain after an auto accident, the discomfort can limit your mobility and lower your quality of life. At Delmarva Chiropractic in Salisbury, MD, we provide various treatments to relieve your discomfort and improve your overall health. Before visiting us, learn how chiropractic care can be effective for auto accident injuries below:
Reduces Neck Pain from Whiplash
Whiplash occurs when your head and neck are moved forward and backward suddenly during a car accident. As a result, the soft tissues in the neck can be damaged and lead to intense neck pain. We utilize a variety of treatments to help you heal naturally. Laser therapy, electrostimulation, and massage are common chiropractic treatments that removes toxins from the injured tissue and replaces them with bodily fluids that contain iron and oxygen. These methods are also designed to ease swelling, inflammation, pain, and allow your body to recover.
Eases Back Pain
Auto accidents can also cause misalignments in your spine that can result in a slipped disc or a herniated disc, which lead to back pain. With a spinal adjustment, we can properly align the vertebrae, which takes pressure off of the discs and relieves your back pain. We also offer spinal decompression that gently stretches the spine, which relieves pressure from the nerves and also improves your mobility.
Treats Headaches
You might suffer a head injury due to a blow to the head during an auto accident. These injuries often trigger very painful headaches that our neurological chiropractors can treat. Once we identify what is causing your discomfort, we can provide the necessary care. If you have any misalignments in your spine, we can help correct these misalignments, which can reduce the frequency of your headaches and help you feel better.
Treating Car Accident Injuries with Chiropractic Care
Getting into an auto accident (crash) impacts your lifestyle and health. By working with the chiropractors at our clinic you address the injuries and encourage the healing processes. While the exact treatment depends on both the type and severity of your injuries, our state of the art facility and specialty trained doctors provide the highest and most advanced solutions to address and manage your condition.
Common Injuries from Auto Accidents
The injuries associated with auto accidents depend on several factors. Even small accidents in a car cause injuries to your body, but often you may not notice the pain immediately, or even months after the accident.
Common injuries that occur during car accidents include:
• A back injury, like a herniated disk or a strained muscle • Whiplash/Cervical Acceleration/Deceleration(CAD) injuries • Head injuries, including a concussion (TBI) or bleeding • Sciatica or injuries to other nerves in the spine and neck •Dizziness or problems with balance • Tingling, numbness or weakness in different limbsSevere injuries, like broken bones, also occur in certain accidents. Treating the injuries depends on the severity of the accident, and the type of injuries you sustain. For example, our clinic offers treatment for headaches, whiplash, back injuries, rehabilitation, concussion and other neurological therapeutic intervention, and spinal health concerns caused by crashes. Severe injuries, like broken bones or severe bleeding, require immediate medical attention. A Doctor of Chiropractic provides treatment to help with lingering discomforts, strains or complications in the healing process after the initial emergency care.
Personal Injury & Workers Comp
When an injury occurs at work or due to an accident, the feeling can be devastating. Instead of thinking, "what are the best steps to recovery" many people ask "how will I pay for this?"
Dealing with a Worker's Compensation, or a personal injury case can be frustrating and confusing. Along with all the bewildering whirlwind of insurance, patients are also dealing with pain, which affects many aspects of one's life both professionally and personally. Employers need to be kept abreast of progress to allow for work coverage, appropriate return-to-work accommodations, and a thorough understanding of the judicial component of these cases is critical.
Our clinic is dedicated to providing the best possible care to treat your injury. We incorporate a team approach with all conditions, and we work with, and have professional relationships with most local attorneys. Our experienced office staff will coordinate any legal/clerical assistance needed with your employer and insurance company, and take the frustration out of the process by helping navigate your case. By communicating and assisting with these factors, patients can focus on their recovery, getting back to their work, family and lives.
