Back Pain Relief & Injury Chiropractors
Treating Back Pain from Auto Accidents with Chiropractic Care
Are you currently suffering from Back Pain and looking for relief?
At Arrowhead Clinic, we have a team of experienced and licensed back pain chiropractors and doctors who specialize in providing chiropractic care and therapy techniques for chronic back pain conditions and back injuries.
Our goal is to help alleviate back pain throughout the body with gentle, noninvasive chiropractic adjustment techniques.
We have several clinic locations throughout the states of Georgia and South Carolina.
When you come to one of our clinics, the chiropractor will evaluate your spine as a whole because other regions may be affected as well.
The Chiropractor may advise you on nutritional changes, stress management, posture, sleeping positions, and lifestyle goals in addition to treating your back pain.
Before deciding which approach is best for you, we will perform a very thorough chiropractic examination to diagnose the specific cause of your back pain.
We will determine what areas are restricting movement and will look at how you walk as well as your overall posture and spinal alignment.
Doing these things will help us get a full understanding of your body’s mechanics.
In addition to the physical exam, your back pain chiropractor will also go through your past medical history and may order imaging tests, like an x-ray or MRI, to help diagnose the exact cause of your pain.
All these steps are crucial in order for us to provide an accurate diagnosis and customized treatment plan.
Why Do Chiropractors Use X-rays?
Our chiropractors use x-rays to get a better look at a patient's injuries and condition.
X-rays determine the frequency and intensity of care needed for the patient to make a full and optimal recovery.
With a closer examination of the x-ray scans, your back pain doctor will be able to pinpoint the exact location of spinal subluxation as well as any bone spurs, fractures, or cancerous spots that could become worse during a chiropractic adjustment.
Common Causes of Back Pain
At our chiropractic clinic, our doctors treat various back injuries that can occur for many different reasons. Some of the most common reasons why our back pain patients come to our office are because of the following:
Car Accidents
Slip and Fall Accidents
Work Accidents
Overuse
Sports Accidents
Improper lifting
Bad Posture
Sleeping Incorrectly
Twisting or Bending Incorrectly
It is our goal to make sure our patients receive the best treatment for their injuries.
Correcting spinal misalignments that can occur during an accident will help ease muscle tension around the injured vertebral body. Spinal manipulations and adjustments are specifically designed to restore the nervous system to its normal function.

How Do Chiropractors Help Back Pain?
A chiropractor will do a physical exam and x-ray to check for misalignment and then proceed with a treatment plan to align your spine, making your pain disappear.
Treatment typically includes exercise, manual manipulation, warm or cold compresses, and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation).
Your chiropractor will use the right combination of treatment methods to resolve the cause of your back injury and alleviate the pain that you are experiencing.

Back Pain Treatment
Our chiropractors may use a combination of spinal manipulation, manual therapy, and other techniques as part of your treatment plan to help alleviate your back pain.
Some of those spinal manipulation techniques may include:
Flexion-distraction technique - this is a hands-on spinal manipulation that involves a computer-designed table and a gentle pumping action on the intervertebral disc instead of direct force.
Instrument-assisted manipulation - this technique uses a hand-held instrument, which allows your chiropractor to apply force without thrusting into the spine.
Specific spinal manipulation - this type of manipulation helps restore full joint movement using a gentle thrusting technique.
Questions About Chiropractic Care
How Safe is Chiropractic Treatment?
Chiropractic adjustments can cause some worry due to the loud cracking noises that can be heard during the adjustment.
However, there is no need to worry.
As long as you are getting treatments from a licensed and trained chiropractor, like all of the doctors at Arrowhead Clinic, your body is in good hands.
Does Chiropractic Care Work?
Yes!
Chiropractic care is recognized as one of the longest-lasting treatments for back pain.
Many of our back pain patients can see and feel results after their first chiropractic adjustment. However, back pain will linger until the end of the treatment plan, so it's important to follow the chiropractor's instructions until you're released from therapy.
When should you seek Chiropractic Care for Back Pain?
If you were involved in a car accident, you should seek immediate treatment from a chiropractor. If you have not been involved in an accident, then seek treatment as soon as you start experiencing back pain symptoms.
Even if you do not feel immediate pain symptoms after an accident, you could still have suffered an injury. Do not wait to seek chiropractic care after being involved in an accident.
