Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents are commonly a terrifying experience.  Not only can it disorient you, but leave you in severe pain.  

Chiropractic care is a drug-free way to treat pain and injuries from a car accident.  If these types of injuries are not properly treated, it can lead to chronic pain that lasts for months or even years.  

The sudden jolt of a car accident can know the musculoskeletal system out of alignment, causing back and neck pain.  Whiplash is an injury caused by the abrupt movement of the cervical spine backward and then forward again. Whiplash is usually caused in a forceful rear-impact accident in which the spine is not only out of alignment, but the neck muscles are strained.  

Chiropractic adjustments relieve the pressure on the nerves and muscles while bringing the cervical spine back into alignment.  The adjustments and additional exercises can help bring back full range of motion without the need for pain killers.  

Other back and neck injuries, as well as soft tissue injuries, can be treated here at Riverview Chiropractic Center.  Immediate treatment after a car accident is the best way to support the body’s natural healing process and avoid chronic pain or other health issues.
