Chiropractic care offers a variety of benefits to those dealing with musculoskeletal injuries!

Experiencing a car accident can be scary and nerve-wracking, and in the moment you may be so focused on making sure everyone is okay, talking to the other involved party and exchanging insurance information that you may not even notice that your body was injured. Luckily, our Austin, TX, chiropractor Dr. Zeke has experience working with those patients dealing with car accident injuries.

What are some of the most common car accident injuries?

After a car accident, it is common for people to experience musculoskeletal injuries that impact how certain ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves or discs function. Common problems include:

• Whiplash (neck injury)
• Back pain
• Ligament sprains
• Tendonitis
• Herniated or bulging discs

If you are experiencing inflammation, pain, discomfort, swelling, redness or discomfort when performing certain activities then it’s a good idea to turn to a medical professional for treatment. The sooner you seek treatment the better, as problems can often linger and lead to chronic pain and inflammation.

How can chiropractic care help me?

Luckily, if you are dealing with pain, discomfort or other issues as a result of an auto accident then our Austin, TX, chiropractic specialist can help you. We specialize in treating and managing symptoms for a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and problems. Many people who’ve been in a car accident deal with whiplash, a common neck injury that can cause stiffness, pain, limited range of motion and headaches.

Whiplash, as well as other musculoskeletal injuries, can be treated through a variety of chiropractic techniques including spinal manipulation. The school of thought when it comes to chiropractic care is to provide non-surgical, drug-free ways to improve how the body functions and works and to facilitate faster healing.

Chiropractic care can alleviate pain, reduce swelling, improve range of motion and flexibility and speed up the healing process. One of the most common chiropractic treatments is spinal manipulation, in which we apply certain controlled force to areas around the spine to realign spinal discs back into their proper positions, which will help take pressure off certain ligaments, tendons and nerves to get blood flowing to these areas. By improving blood flow we can also boost the body’s natural healing process.
