Chiropractor in Wyoming MI for Car Accidents

Regardless of the severity of the accident, the body absorbs the impact and can sustain lasting injuries. When you seek chiropractic care after an auto accident, you’ll receive personalized care that's designed to help you heal as quickly as possible.

The powerful force that occurs during a traffic accident can shatter bone or rip apart soft tissue. Even a minor accident can result in ongoing back pain, while a serious accident can result in life-changing injuries.

If you sustained injuries in an auto accident, schedule an appointment with an experienced licensed chiropractor at The Chiropractic Doctors in Wyoming, MI. Contact our facility today if you’re suffering from any of the following symptoms:

• Whiplash is a non-medical term for neck pain that results from harm to the soft tissues of the neck, including tendons, ligaments, and muscles. An abnormal movement that extends the neck beyond its usual range of motion can cause whiplash.
• Neck pain, including headaches, stiffness, and muscle spasms
• Back pain, including disc herniation, sprains, and strains
• Shoulder pain, including injuries to the rotator cuff, muscle tears, strains, numbness along the arm, and bursitis
• Seatbelt injuries, including the misalignment of the ribs and vertebrae, which can pinch or pull connected nerves. A seatbelt can save a life, but it can also cause injuries that can be severely painful.

Chiropractic Care for the Treatment of Motor Vehicle Injuries

In many cases, an accident victim who experiences severe pain due to an auto accident is treated with pain medication, which serves only to mask the pain instead of addressing the cause of it. While pain medication can provide temporary relief, the root cause of the pain will remain.

When you see a chiropractor for your injuries, treatment is designed to address the underlying cause of the pain rather than just the symptom. Following a physical exam and a review of your medical history, a chiropractor will prescribe appropriate treatment for restoring the normal position and motion of the bones in the spine. If the injuries are treated early enough, scar tissue can be kept to a minimum and inflammation can be controlled. Timing is critical for positive outcomes in car accident cases. The longer you wait, typically the poorer the outcomes.

What to Expect at a Chiropractic Appointment After an Auto Accident

At The Chiropractic Doctors, our chiropractors will assist auto accident patients by using the most suitable therapy for each phase of the healing process. In the inflammation phase, the chiropractor’s goal is to reduce the inflammation and ease the patient’s pain.

In the repair phase, a patient will undergo treatment to support injured tissues and treatment to help the patient regain typical ranges of motion.

In the last phase of the healing process, chiropractic therapy will help improve the elasticity of injured tissue and build strength, which will reduce the possibility of recurring symptoms and permanent damage.

Each patient who suffered injuries as the result of an auto accident will have a personalized treatment plan after a comprehensive exam, that will determine the primary problems and the best methods of action to resolve them. Our chiropractors will customize treatment for each patient to provide the needed support for results that last.

A treatment plan may include methods such as specific exercises that pinpoint the injured areas of the body, the stimulation of muscles, relaxation therapy, adjustments of the spine, and lifestyle guidance to correct poor posture and ergonomic problems that can decrease pain.

Non-Invasive Treatment

Surgery and drugs should be your last resort. Manual adjustments and treatments to realign the joints and the spine, and relax the muscles will promote healing and reduce pain. Chiropractic care is meant to improve the body’s ability to heal itself and can help your body instantly begin the healing process.

Prevent Long-Term Pain

Even a minor crash can result in subsequent injuries that will limit a person’s ability to carry out even basic activities at home and work. These minor injuries can cause chronic pain if left untreated. Even the symptoms associated with whiplash can continue long after a collision. Seeing a chiropractor as soon as possible can control and reduce pain, and prevent an injury from worsening over time.

Improves/Restores Range of Motion

Suffering from a back or neck injury after a car accident can decrease a person’s range of motion, due to inflammation. When an accident occurs, the body’s natural response is to cause inflammation in the injured areas. Inflammation leads to scar tissue formation which can slow down the healing process. Our chiropractors are equipped with the skills and experience to provide treatment that will help reduce inflammation, promote healing, and improve range of motion.
