Chiropractic Treatment for Car Accidents in Boxtel

No one expects to be in a car accident, but almost everyone who is unlucky enough to have one has a negative physical effect as a result. Whether it's a minor fender bender or a serious multi-car crash, your body absorbs the force. Chiropractic for car accidents at our chiropractic office in Boxtel is unique for each individual to get the maximum benefit.

COMMON ACCIDENTS WITH CAR ACCIDENTS in Boxtel

Neck, shoulder, and back injuries are some of the most common problems chiropractors face after a car accident. Whiplash occurs when your cervical spine is knocked "backwards" abruptly and then flipped forward, breaking its alignment. This injury often occurs as a result of a rear-end collision when the recipient does not know it is coming. Along with the whipping effect comes muscle stiffness and pain in the days and weeks after the accident. Sometimes when a driver or passenger sees the impact coming, they tense their muscles forward. This can cause them to end up with tense back muscles, neck muscles or shoulder muscles.

CHIROPRACTIC CAR ACCIDENT TREATMENTS

While your car accident chiropractic treatment in Boxtel is tailored to your specific injuries, some of the more common treatment methods include:

• Spinal manipulation
• Muscle stimulation and/or relaxation therapy
• Specific exercises to tackle the area
• Lifestyle advise to address ergonomic issues that cause pain

Any car accident chiropractic treatment plan will include a thorough consultation to determine the major issues and the best approach to resolve them. Because everyone's body is different and every car accident is different, treatment must be tailored to the individual to achieve lasting results.

TACKLING THE CAUSE

While specific treatment protocols will vary, the main concept for addressing the cause first remains the same. Usually, when someone experiences pain as a result of a car accident, the goal is to mask the pain with painkillers. While this can provide immediate pain relief, the problem causing the pain is likely still there.

Our Boxtel chiropractor will investigate and reach the underlying cause of the pain. Contact our team today with any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you.
