Common Injuries from Motor Vehicle Accidents

Whiplash: A common injury that occurs when the neck is forcefully jerked back and forth, often leading to neck pain, headaches, and limited range of motion.

Back and Neck Pain: These can result from the impact of the accident, causing muscle strains, ligament sprains, and disc injuries.

Headaches: Often associated with whiplash or other head and neck injuries.

How Chiropractic Can Help

Chiropractic care focuses on the musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, joints, muscles, and nerves. We can utilize many different techniques to help resolve injuries from a motor vehicle accident:

Spinal Adjustments

Gentle, precise adjustments to correct misalignments in the spine, which can reduce pain and improve nerve function. This can be done with manual therapy or instrument assisted device such as the “Activator Gun”.

Therapeutic Exercises

Chiropractors may recommend specific exercises to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and restore normal range of motion.

Ultrasound or Low Intensity Light Laser Therapy

These two modalities can help breakup scar tissue, reduce swelling and pain.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for MVA Injuries

Pain Relief

Chiropractic adjustments can help reduce pain by improving joint function and reducing muscle tension.

Improved Mobility

By restoring normal spinal alignment and muscle function, chiropractic care can help improve flexibility and range of motion.

Faster Healing

Chiropractic adjustments can help accelerate the body’s natural healing process by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation.

Reduced Reliance on Medication

Chiropractic care can often reduce the need for pain medication and other invasive treatments.

Seek Professional Help After an Accident
