Learn How A Kent WA Chiropractor Helps Alleviate Car Accident Pain

By Jay Dy


You've just had a car accident. If the accident was extensive, most people will go to a hospital for a checkup, especially if there's a head injury. What many people don't realize is that even a small, minor accident can cause soft tissue injuries, which, if left untreated, could develop into chronic arthritis pain.

Any time that your body jerks because of an accident, there's a possibility of injury. In fact, greater than 50% of whiplash injuries happen in cases where little or no damage was done to the car. If you feel pain after an accident, that's a good sign that you've sustained an injury. A Kent chiropractor will give you a complete exam. He is trained to identify hidden car accident injuries, and will start you on the road to recovery.

Why should you work with a chiropractor after being injured in a car accident?

When it comes to car accident injuries, whiplash is among the most common. This happens during a jarring and sudden movement, such as when your head whips back and forth or lashes from side to side. This causes weakness along the spine and creates a tremendous amount of discomfort that can include neck and shoulder pain, lower back pain and pain down the arm. Spinal manipulation can be used by a Kent chiropractor as can muscle stimulation and relaxation techniques along with strategic exercise and a variety of ergonomic changes and lifestyle changes.

A chiropractic doctor will perform neurological and orthopedic tests to assess any soft tissue damage, muscle strength, range of motion, structural damage, and nerve and joint function to determine if there's any sign of an injury that other medical professionals might have missed. Once the area causing your pain has been identified, a Kent chiropractor will develop a care plan for you, which will be personalized for your specific injuries.

Your recovery plan could have a series of scheduled, chiropractic adjustments, deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy. Adjustments can be used to restore spinal health and to promote healing in the muscles and tissues. They will also improve spinal subluxations, herniated discs and strained tissues so that you can regain your comfort and mobility.
