Accident Injury Chiropractic Care

And with the growing concerns over using pain medication as a temporary solution, more and more injured are choosing chiropractic care to relieve the pain associated with accident injury. Our patients have come to trust chiropractic care to help reclaim strength and control over their body and discomfort. Our center offers more than temporarily relief; we treat the cause of your discomfort.
Whiplash pain relief Lake Charles LAA prevalent car accident injury is whiplash, which occurs when an accident victim's head and neck is forced forward and backward, or from side to side from impact. The term whiplash is derived from the similarity to the cracking of a whip; however, the term whiplash can be applied to any trauma or accident injury that forces the neck to rock back and forth or side to side. The pain associated with whiplash isn't always immediately felt. Often, symptoms of whiplash (neck injury) appear days, weeks, and occasionally months later – when the underlying injury presents, persists or leads to additional issues.

What are symptoms of whiplash?Whiplash pain can range from mild nuisance to severe and debilitating. Serious whiplash injuries appear more frequently when headrests are improperly positioned. If the headrest is positioned to low, it can cause bones to break or severe soft tissue damage. If you are involved in an auto accident, we encourage clients to seek medical attention for a thorough examination and x-rays to determine the extent of injury, if any, was incurred.
Not all symptoms will present immediately, and if symptoms do present the associated pain may not be traceable to the auto accident. Armed with this knowledge, we highly recommend an examination with a soft tissue medical professional, such as a chiropractor. If you or a loved one is experiencing pain associated with an auto accident, call to schedule an appointment with Dr. Scott. The Center for Chiropractic and Rehabilitation offers holistic solutions to pain relief associated with accident injuries. Remember, there are no chemical solutions to mechanical problems. |
