After a car accident, you are at your worst. Injuries may not be felt right away, but they will show a few hours or days after the accident. Thankfully, the body has the power to rejuvenate itself with some help from a chiropractor in Tigard, OR performing gentle manipulations of the spine. Chiropractic care is a drug-free way to rid your body of unnecessary pain or to help you manage chronic pain. When the body is out of alignment, it can cause many symptoms like headaches, neck and back pain, digestive issues, and much more. By simply putting the body back into proper alignment, many of the symptoms that you are experiencing will be resolved naturally.

Treating Whiplash and Common Neck Strains

There are many different types of injuries that can occur after an accident, however, whiplash or a spinal-related problem is the most common. Whiplash is not always taken seriously by legal entities and insurance companies even though it is one the most common issues auto accident victims complain about. Whiplash is a serious matter and dealing with the pain from whiplash is no laughing matter, so it’s only logical for patients to immediately seek help from a chiropractor.

During a car accident, very strong and sudden movement can knock or whip the musculoskeletal system out of its normal state of perfect alignment. The force of a rear-impact collision is often the cause of whiplash. You may experience strains in the neck muscles, stiffness, soreness, and pain. A simple adjustment can relieve pressure on the nerves and muscles and bring the spine back to its proper alignment. Your chiropractor can massage and prescribe various exercises to help your body regain its full range of motion.

Receiving Chiropractic Care

Considered as a form of alternative medicine, chiropractic is not always received positively, however, chiropractic care will not harm you. In fact, before you receive any form of treatment, you will have to undergo a series of x-rays to ensure that you don't need immediate medical attention through traditional methods. The x-rays are also important in helping your chiropractor determine the treatment plan you will be prescribed. There are some cases that require more intervention than what a chiropractor can give. For the vast majority, however, they can avoid surgery and take control of their life again through the help of a chiropractor. Generally, the strain, headaches, and pain you experience is all because you are out of alignment.

Chiropractic provides many people with much-needed relief. Over time, the right treatment plan can provide permanent relief from pain and other symptoms caused by the accident. A chiropractor can help you put the accident behind you and help you get back to living life.
