How Can Chiropractors Treat Auto Accident Sufferers?

If you were injured in an auto accident, a qualified chiropractor can treat the following conditions:

• Reduce Inflammation: Inflammation is often a major issue that results from being in a car accident. This is because microtears are often present within muscle tissues, which trigger inflammation. Moreover, this is often a result of whiplash that occurs when the body is violently jerked around during the accident. Luckily, a qualified chiropractor can help reduce this issue for you.
• Improve Range of Motion: When areas such as the neck or back are injured during an auto accident, the inflammation can also lead to a loss of your normal range of motion. However, by receiving guidance and adjustments from the chiropractor, you can restore your range of motion much faster.
• Reduce Scar Tissue: While many people think of scar tissue as a visible issue, scar tissue can also occur internally. This scar tissue can cause aches, pains, and a decrease in one's general range of motion. Nevertheless, by visiting a chiropractor, you can reduce the duration and severity of this issue.
• Pain Management: Additionally, studies have shown that those who visit a chiropractor following an auto accident tend to experience less pain than those who do not. Additionally, those who seek prompt chiropractic care are much less likely to suffer from long-term issues.

How Can Chiropractors Help Heal Auto Injuries?

Given that neck pain is a common side effect that occurs because of being in an accident, there is proof that chiropractors can be effective in treating auto accident injuries. In fact, a 2013 study showed that 94% of patients experienced neck pain relief following chiropractic adjustments. Additionally, a 2014 study asserts that patients who receive adjustments experience a boost in pain-reducing hormones present in the bloodstream. Also, a 1996 study showed that 93% of auto accident patients with neck injuries experienced substantial improvements when under chiropractic care.
