Benefits Of Chiropractic Care After An Auto Accident

Car accidents frequently occur on a daily basis. A majority of them are not severe, however, some can involve bruises, fractures and other types of injuries alongside car damages. Automobile accidents are unfortunate circumstances, unfortunately resulting unexpectedly in most common cases. Auto accident can be both physically and mentally troublesome. It is an overwhelming situation and can give long lasting mental and physical trauma to the people involved. Once an individual has suffered an auto collision, the first and most important step that a person needs to take should be to seek medical care, particularly, chiropractic.

The most common type of car accident that many people face is where both involved parties seem to be either not injured at all or only have minor injuries. There may not be any visible wounds, cuts or bleeding but there may indeed be an underlying injury from inside and that can be quite serious. Individuals who believe they do not have to visit a doctor because there is no injury or the injury is minor, could be making a big mistake. Injuries that are caused internally can get worse over time if left untreated. And thus, immediate treatment is ultimately essential.

Visit A Doctor Immediately

chiropractorandnurselookatx rayMany people experience traffic collisions where there are no visible cuts or wounds and they ignore the need to visit a doctor. Generally, an individual may not feel any pain just after the accident due to a heavy rush of adrenaline. After 24 hours, people can begin to feel the symptoms of the incident, from neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, dizziness etc. Therefore, seeking immediate medical care and treatment after the car accident is important in order to diagnose the cause of the individual’s symptoms.

If a person wants to file a personal injury lawsuit, they will need medical documents from a health expert to prove the fact of an injury. Without a strong backing of medical documents to prove this, no lawyer will be ready to take your case. If you have an insurance or personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, then you can consult with your doctor to know whether you can use it to cover your medical bills. Then consult with your insurance company. Even if the insurance company, under certain circumstances, denies paying for your medical costs, do not step back from getting the treatment you need and require.

Common Underlying Injuries

Invisible injuries resulting from an auto accident, considered invisible injuries as these are not visible or felt immediately, can manifest until days, weeks and even months after the original incident. In this type of injuries, the soft tissues are affected. The soft tissues are best described as muscles, tendons and ligaments, or any tissue that is not bone. The most common type of soft tissue injuries resulting from a car accident is whiplash. Whiplash can become considerably painful if left untreated for prolonged periods of time.

Because whiplash can take days, weeks or even months to appear after the car accident, many people are unaware of the damage to their bodies. Whiplash is caused when the head suddenly jerks to and forth during the force of an accident. This huge impact adds tremendous pressure on the ligaments of the neck, causing a sprained neck and leading to many symptoms. A whiplash-type injury undoubtedly hinders your daily activities. This can be extremely painful and life changing. In order to treat whiplash, you need to visit a chiropractor for proper care and treatment.

Symptoms Of Whiplash

WhiplashDiagram ElPasoChiropractorAt the time of the accident, the body remains firmly held by the seatbelt under the extreme force of the impact. Because of this, the majority of the force of the impact travels through the neck, frequently leading to whiplash. As mentioned above, the symptoms may not be visible for days, weeks, or even months but usually, these can manifest within 24 to 48 hours following the car accident. Some of the most common symptoms of whiplash include; pain in the neck, inflammation, tingling and numbness sensations, headaches, shoulder and arm pain, jaw pain, mid and lower back pain, nausea, loss of concentration, dizziness and depression. The symptoms depend largely on the individual’s degree of injury.

Whiplash Treatment

Immediately after experiencing a car accident, it’s important to consult medical care to diagnose for any types of injuries or conditions, especially from a car accident specialist, such as a chiropractor. Whiplash is considered to be the most common type of injuries that a person faces in a car accident and chiropractors are experts who can help cure these type of problems. Whiplash treatment generally depends on the intensity of the injury. Because of the sudden back and forth movement of the neck, tremendous strain can result on the soft tissues of the neck. Thus, the tendons and ligaments are often the most affected. The healthcare professional will first evaluate the spine fully. Then, they will look for any significant injuries in the region of the spine.

The main injury may not be in the vertebrae near the neck but can occur anywhere else. A proper diagnosis can help a chiropractor determine the source of an injury as well as identify the area of tightness or tenderness. Using various therapies, he will reduce the inflammation in the neck. A chiropractor can use a series of different treatments and therapies, most appropriately suited to each individual’s injuries or conditions to correct a variety of complications. Hands-on techniques and/or instrument-assisted techniques are both used by chiropractors to treat individuals efficiently. This will help you restore the normal function of your spine and eventually reduce the pain and inflammation as well.

Although whiplash is common, there can be many more complications following an automobile accident. Regardless, just because the individual experienced absolutely no symptoms after suffering an auto collision, it is not necessarily guaranteed that there is no presence of harm.

Injuries or conditions that are not cared for properly can cause pain and other symptoms, eventually developing into chronic disorders which can create further complications for the affected individual.
