Whiplash TreatmentHave you been in an automobile collision? Have you sustained a car accident injury?

If so, you’re probably experiencing some painful symptoms and want relief fast. Thankfully, a chiropractor can provide a variety of therapies to help reduce your pain.

An auto accident injury can be serious, so it’s best to visit a healthcare provider – like your Suwanee chiropractor – immediately after an accident.

The Most Common Car Accident Injury Symptoms

After an auto accident, be on the lookout for these auto accident injury symptoms.

• Neck pain
• Headaches
• Neck stiffness
• Shoulder pain
• Low back pain
• Numbness or tingling in your arms or legs
• Loss of range of motion
• Irritability, anxiety, or depression
• Difficulty concentrating

 

Many of these symptoms are related to whiplash, an injury that results from your head being violently thrust forward and back during a collision. Left untreated, whiplash can result in long-term pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. However, your Suwanee chiropractor can reduce the long-term effects of a car accident injury.

How a Suwanee Chiropractor Can Ease Painful Symptoms

After an injury, your body goes through an inflammatory response, which causes swelling and stiffness. Your body will also start building scar tissue, the fibers of which aren’t as flexible as skin or muscle tissue. Left untreated, chronic inflammation, and scar tissue buildup after a car accident injury can lead to long-term problems. Your Suwanee chiropractor can prevent that from happening.

Chiropractic adjustments ease muscle tension and strain, reducing inflammation and promotingblood and cerebrospinal fluid flow. Spinal decompression can release pressure on nerves, significantly and quickly reducing painful symptoms. Laser therapy works on a cellular level to promote soft tissue healing.

The results:

• Less pain
• More flexibility
• Improved range of motion
• Improved mobility
