Car accidents can lead to a variety of injuries, from whiplash to more complex musculoskeletal problems. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, but over time they can cause significant pain and restrict your movement. Chiropractic care offers a natural, effective solution to help with recovery by addressing the root causes of pain and discomfort, speeding up healing, and restoring function to the affected areas.
When the body experiences the shock of a car accident, especially the spine, neck, and soft tissues, misalignments and damage can occur. These misalignments—called subluxations—can interfere with nerve function and cause inflammation, stiffness, and pain. Chiropractic adjustments focus on realigning the spine, reducing pressure on the nervous system, and promoting overall healing to help you get back to your daily activities.
How Chiropractic Care Helps After a Car Accident
At Ascend Chiropractic, our team specializes in treating injuries related to car accidents. Whether it’s whiplash, soft tissue strain, or other spinal injuries, our doctors are equipped with the skills and techniques to help you heal.
Whiplash, a common injury from car accidents, occurs when the head is forcefully jerked forward and backward, straining the muscles and ligaments in the neck. Chiropractic adjustments help by realigning the cervical spine, reducing inflammation, and improving mobility. Dr. Brian Bayer, Dr. Olivia Bayer, Dr. Rob Lane, and Dr. Gabe Rahn all have extensive experience in treating this condition with spinal adjustments and soft tissue therapies like Active Release Technique (ART), which targets muscle tension and helps speed up recovery.
Speeding Up Recovery with Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care addresses both the symptoms and the root causes of pain following an accident. While medications might mask pain, chiropractic adjustments focus on restoring the spine’s natural alignment, promoting the body’s ability to heal itself.
Chiropractic care offers numerous benefits for accident recovery:
- Pain Relief: Our doctors use spinal adjustments and ART to reduce inflammation and realign the spine, providing relief from pain and stiffness.
- Improved Mobility: Restoring proper alignment and joint function helps improve flexibility and range of motion, allowing you to return to your regular activities.
- Muscle Tension Relief: Soft tissue techniques, such as ART and cupping, are used to relax tight muscles and break down scar tissue that can form after an injury.
- Preventing Long-Term Pain: By addressing misalignments early, chiropractic care helps prevent chronic pain or further complications down the road.
