Auto Accidents
Perhaps you have had the misfortune of being stopped at a red light when you hear the sound of squealing brakes and felt a sudden bang or thump as the sound of metal upon metal filled the air. You’ve just had a car accident! Maybe your car has even been pushed into another one in front of you. What’s going on?!
You may initially feel shaken or in shock and not noticed any neck or back pain. However, later that day or even in a couple of days later, you might have experienced an increase in neck pain, low back pain, shoulder pain, or headaches. Sleep disturbances, dizziness, nausea, your head feeling too heavy, are some other common symptoms after having a motor vehicle accident (MVA).
Sometimes people self-medicate after an accident. You might think that what seems to be a minor car accident might not be worthy of care but if you don’t get checked out after an accident, you may be at risk for future, more serious health problems such as arthritis, slipped disk, or chronic neck, headache, and back pain. Multiple accidents over time may cause increased scar tissue formation throughout your spine and muscles and this can be the source of mysterious pains that seem to “come and go”.
Traditional Medical Solution
This often involves giving a patient prescription medication, typically pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs. These just mask the problem or take the edge off of your pain. They don’t address the cause of your pain... misalignments of vertebrae that may be causing a “pinched nerve” or a “choked nerve”. This nerve interference can lead to many other problems such as headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, pain going down the arms or legs, even weakness in your body and sleep problems. This isn’t a chemical problem to be covered up by drugs. You have a physical problem that needs physical treatment. We offer a safe and natural approach to relieving your pain.
