Benefits of Chiropractic Care After a Car Accident

Injuries Are Not Always Obvious.

Not all injuries are going to obvious immediately following an auto accident. Pain from Whiplash, for example, may not start until a day or so after your accident. It’s important to note Florida law requires you to be seen by a medical professional within 14 days of the car accident if you sustained injuries so if you experience any of the following symptoms, you should be seen by a medical professional promptly.

Other symptoms may include:

Dizziness
Headaches
Soreness
Blurred vision
Shoulder pain or
Pain/stiffness in the upper or lower back and neck.

Do not wait until you feel pain to seek treatment. The best way to deal with whiplash or another car accident injury is to catch it early. Ignoring a potential injury can lead to chronic pain, which is why it is essential to see Dr. Garrett R. Weinstein, DC immediately following your accident so he can properly diagnose your injuries and start you on a treatment plan before the pain becomes unbearable. With over 20 years treating traumatic injuries, we can help you heal, and get back to living.

At Chiropractic Clinics of South Florida, we treat car accident injuries including whiplash, back pain, neck pain, headaches, and migraines.

We will help you with pain management and rehabilitation for your car accident injury. Chiropractic care combined with other treatment methods such as massage, extension traction therapy, and physical therapy will assist in the healing process and get your body back to normal.

Tears in the muscles are the main reason people wake up after a car crash in severe pain wondering what is wrong because their X-rays looked normal. Massage and another combination of chiropractic therapy may be just what you need.

Dr. Weinstein uses methods such as spinal manipulations to realign the spine, helping your body to heal faster. The non-invasive Spinal manipulations realign the spine and joints, significantly reducing pain and promoting healing without the need for surgery.

We Can Offer Some Pain Relief Without the Use of Drugs

Medical doctors will commonly prescribe anti-inflammatory and pain medication after an accident. Most people think that taking these will make them better, and probably do for a short period. However, drugs only mask the symptoms; they don’t heal the injury. You need a therapy treatment plan that maps a potential road to recovery.

Chiropractic care offers pain relief without the use of prescription medications. Chiropractic care also addresses the injury at the source of the problem, restoring function and not masking the pain.

Chiropractic Care Has Been Known to Restore Mobility

The soreness and stiffness from a motor vehicle injury can inhibit movement. Dr. Weinstein works with patients to help get them moving again as quickly as possible. When you receive a chiropractic adjustment, it will mobilize your spine, restoring function, decreasing inflammation and allowing the body to begin the natural healing process at a much faster rate.
