After an auto accident, you may have to deal with insurance companies and try to find a way to get back and forth while your car is being repaired. Our Arlington, TX, chiropractor, Dr. Milton Quezada, makes recovering after an auto accident and auto injury pain relief top priorities and encourages you to book an appointment as soon as possible after an accident so you’ll have one less problem to worry about.
Possible Injuries
A vehicular collision can affect a number of areas of your musculoskeletal system, leading to sprains, fractures, etc. It can also lead to traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries.
One common issue that arises from a rear-end collision is whiplash. This particular injury happens when your neck is propelled frontward, backward, and forward again, stressing the soft tissue in your neck. The impact could also do nerve damage.
Another example of a car accident injury is a herniated disc. Most often, a person who suffers from this issue has degeneration in their discs. The impact from an auto injury then stresses the disc and causes a tear.
For some people, a car accident leads to a concussion, which is a brain injury caused by this organ shifting and possibly turning in the skull. This then leads to chemical changes that can lead to everything from headaches to problems with coordination.
Auto Injury Pain Relief
Auto injury pain relief is our practitioner's specialty. He focuses on offering treatments that naturally ease your pain and cause little to no side effects.
Besides pain relief, our practitioner also focuses on healing and optimizing function and flexion. However, the goals of your treatment program vary based on the type of injury you sustain and its severity.
One option for pain relief is hot and cold therapy, which can ease inflammation and enhance circulation or reduce nerve function to lessen pain. Massage therapy could help, too.
Part of your treatment approach may consist of exercise therapy. This particular treatment focuses on moving the affected body part through a series of stretches that are known to encourage blood flow to the area and stretch it safely.
If you sustain a back injury or concussion, a spinal alignment can help restore nerve function and optimize circulation to the brain and throughout the back.
Spinal decompression is a suitable treatment if you suffered from an injured disc. This treatment eases pressure on the damaged disc and allows it to heal.
At Dr. Quezada's practice, you can find auto injury pain relief as well as healing. Our practitioner is dedicated to helping you get back to living life normally or as normally as possible after a car accident.
