Whether you are involved in a low-speed fender bender or experienced injuries following a higher-speed collision, chiropractic care helps restore normal joint range of motion following an auto accident. This encourages the body to return to regular activities, reducing the likelihood of chronic pain.
Knowing when to seek help is crucial to speedy recovery. Signs that you may need chiropractic care include the inability to look over your shoulder comfortably, difficulty in looking up and down, persistent headaches or discomfort during daily household chores.
The Common Injuries After a Car Accident
Post-accident musculoskeletal issues are often joint dysfunction, muscle strains, ligament sprains, and headaches. These issues can affect the upper body, lower back, and extremities, which chiropractic care can address effectively.
Staying On the Road to Recovery
Consistency in your care plan is key to a successful recovery. Just like workout plans, it’s important not to taper off as your body starts to adjust. Continuing with your chiropractic treatment ensures your body stays on track toward complete recovery.
At our clinic, we’ve seen patients who came in unable to work or carry out daily activities due to pain, and within just a few visits, we’ve helped them get back to work and a normal life.
Self-Care for Accelerated Recovery
In addition to treatment, individuals recovering from auto accidents can engage in self-care practices at home, which their chiropractor often recommends. This includes gentle mobility exercises, foam rolling, and using a lacrosse ball for self-myofascial release.
Safe and natural chiropractic care provides a multi-faceted approach toward recovery from auto accidents. By addressing not just symptoms but overall well-being, it promotes faster and more complete healing from injuries.
