A car accident is a scary and unnerving experience which can, unfortunately, cause serious damage to your body. You may get lucky and walk away from your auto collision seemingly unscathed. However, car accident-related conditions like whiplash often do not exhibit symptoms until several days after the collision. This makes it important to see your chiropractor after a car accident, even if you feel fine. Find out more about how your chiropractor can help you after an auto collision with Dr. Zeke Harkleroad at Bee Caves Chiropractic & Scoliosis Center in Austin, TX.

Chiropractic Treatments 
Chiropractic treatment focuses on a hands-on approach to treating misalignments of the neuromuscular system and spine. Seeking chiropractic treatment immediately after a car accident can allow your doctor to find and treat issues early before they cause problems in your daily life. Chiropractic treatment aims to restore mobility, reduce pain, promote healing, and prevent future injury. Ultrasound can also be used to decrease pain and promote healing.
