Our chiropractor serving Brookhaven and Atlanta area can help you achieve pain relief after your car accident.
Whiplash Symptoms
Whiplash is the most experienced car accident injury and accounts for numerous emergency room and doctor’s visits each year. It causes severe headaches and migraines, neck stiffness and pain and reduced range of motion of the neck. The symptoms may not appear for days or even months after your car accident, and if the injury is not treated in a timely manner, it can lead to permanent loss of range of motion and injury to the neck.
When the body is injured, it seeks to heal itself. In the case of a car accident injury to the neck, the body starts to build bone as the discs of the neck compress, which is caused by excessive weight on the front of the neck due to misalignments of the vertebrae. This leads to bone spurs and a fusion of the vertebrae, which is why we recommend seeing our chiropractor immediately after your accident.
Pain Management for an auto accident injury
Many individuals resort to taking anti-inflammatories and pain relievers for pain management after their auto accident injury. Unfortunately, medications only mask the pain. The pills do not treat the underlying causes, which means as soon as the medications wear off, your pain returns. Chiropractic care can treat the underlying injuries to the spine and neck and provide a path for complete recovery.
Here at Century Center Chiropractic, we offer chiropractic adjustments and hydro massage for pain relief. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the neck into its proper position, which reduces the stress on the vertebrae and removes excess pressure from the nerves, discs and other soft tissues of the neck and back.
Hydro massage helps reduce back, neck and extremity pain and promotes mental wellness by alleviating feelings of stress and anxiety, which lowers the levels of stress hormones in the body.
