Treatment for Car Accidents Victims

Most injuries that are sustained in a car wreck will need some type of medical care.

Medical treatment from a professional can help to prevent long-term complications.

Below is how our Doctors help treat accident victims:

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic Care is an all-natural approach to healing.

Chiropractors utilize spinal adjustments and manipulations to help restore the body to optimal function without the need for surgery and addictive drugs.

Being involved in a car accident can cause misalignments in the spine. If these misalignments are left untreated, there are many issues that could occur.

Our chiropractic doctors use spinal adjustments to realign the spine and restore the body to its normal state of function. When the body is in proper alignment, the pressure on the spinal nerves and vertebrae should be alleviated of pain.

Our chiropractors take the time to diagnose and treat each patient individually. They will come up with a specialized treatment plan to fit each patient's particular pain condition.

Physical Therapy

Depending on the type of injury you are suffering from, your Chiropractor may suggest physical therapy to complement the chiropractic adjustment that you are receiving.

Physical therapy includes stretching and strengthening exercises, hot/cold applications, and other forms of therapy techniques.

Physical therapists work one-on-one with each patient. They will provide a treatment plan that incorporates an exercise regimen to help improve strength and mobility in the injured body part.

Electrical Stimulation Therapy

Electrical stimulation therapy is typically used for muscle spasms and pain. It mimics the way the body naturally exercises the muscles.

The electrodes attach to the skin delivering impulses that contract the muscles. It helps increase the range of motion, improves circulation in the body, and keeps the muscles active after a spinal cord injury occurs.

Electrical Stimulation Therapy is used to treat conditions such as sciatica, sprains, and back pain.
