How does a chiropractor help? If you’ve ever been rear-ended at the light, you know what it’s like. You see a car bearing down on you from behind, and there’s nothing you can do about it. All you can do is listen to the sound of “crashing” and “breaking glass.” In most cases, whiplash is the result. But chiropractors can fix whiplash, and in many cases, we can get great results. Why you should see a chiropractor like DR. Mullanack after a car accident?
- Medical minimization: You may end up in the ER, but if there’s no bleeding and no broken bones, you’re good to go. They’ll give you muscle relaxers, pain medication, and tell you to rest for a few days. But they won’t look at your misalignment of vertebrae or muscle micro tears.
- Faster Recovery Times: Many people wait weeks, months, or even years after a car accident before seeing a chiropractor. This allows scar tissue to form, making it more difficult and time-consuming to correct.After a car accident, chiropractors can help you avoid unnecessary complications and may even shorten your recovery time.
- Traditional treatment often involves pain medication, but many people find these side effects more distressing than the injuries they sustained. The opioid crisis often starts here, and chiropractors are often able to help victims get back to the pain-free condition they had before the accident. Many people first find out about chiropractic when they have a car accident, and as they learn more about the current state of chiropractic care, they continue to seek it out. How long you will benefit from your chiropractic care is always dependent on your individual circumstances. Many patients report that regular chiropractor visits help them stay healthy, and others report that they don’t seem to be affected by the latest “bug” going around. Many chiropractors make safe, natural spinal adjustments, and they feel great when they do them.
- Insurance Coverage Car insurance policies often cover some of your chiropractic visits, but you may only be covered for a certain number. Some policies have fee limitations, and you may need a medical referral to get coverage. Atlantic Chiropractic in Fort Peirce, Florida always strives to help all of their clients achieve the treatment they need at a reasonable cost.
- Whether you were driving or a passenger, a car accident is traumatic. Seek a chiropractor who can detect and correct the hidden damage to your spine and nervous system. Every day thousands of people are injured from auto accidents, ranging from small fender benders to very severe auto accidents, causing whiplash and dislocation as well as neck, back, and shoulder misalignment. While many difficulties of pain, swelling, and loss of function caused by injuries can be eased with rest and medication, there are many that can be helped with natural solutions that restore the alignment of the bodys back to its natural frame to alleviate the pain and inflammation caused by an injury. Chiropractic spinal manipulation and adjustment helps return the spine and neck vertebrae back into the proper order to reduce inflammation and pain caused by the effects of an auto accident as well as decrease the recovery time of the patient. Returning the vertebrae, discs, and spinal column. back to its original alignment reduces the strain put on other muscles, tendons and ligaments that often overcompensate for the injury.
