Chiropractic Care and car accident injuries?
Auto accident victims have reported greater relief after chiropractic care than from alternative treatments. Chiropractic Care involves the use of hands-on movements to stimulate healing in muscles, spines and tendons. Muscle manipulation is a great way to identify the cause of pain. Auto injuries can be treated with pain medication, but it is not enough to heal them.
Although Chiropractic Care has been shown to be effective in treating back, neck and spine injuries, necks are also part of this musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic Care has been shown to be less costly and requires fewer medical tests.
Injuries From Car Accidents
Neck injuries are common in accidents. Moreover, a neck injury can be difficult for doctors to diagnose in some cases. While a minor tear in a muscle may only require chiropractic care, a collar bone fracture can take several months to heal. The neck is used by most people at work or home. It is therefore important to seek a accident doctor immediately.
What can I treat my neck pain until I see a doctor?
Take it easy. Try to immobilize your neck as much possible. Avoid heavy lifting or other strenuous exercises around the house. It is fine to stretch lightly, but strenuous stretches are not recommended. You are more susceptible to injury after a serious car accident.
In a car accident, can the seatbelt cause me neck pain?
This is a difficult question to answer, as any constraint can apply pressure to key areas to hold your body in position during an auto accident. They can cause local tension as well, even though calculated pressure points are able to hold you in place.
Local tension refers specifically to the pressure points in the seatbelt at the neck or hip. It is true that any restraint system can create pressure points, which may cause pain. But these restraints have been designed to save lives in the event of a crash.
X-Rays & MRIs
Imaging devices, such as X-Rays and MRIs, can detect broken or fractured bones in your neck. The Emergency Room is often the first place that many car accident victims go. The Emergency Room has the necessary imaging services for Accident Injuries. Any broken or fractured bones should be detected early. Auto injuries can be treated for long-term recovery by knowing the right treatment methods.
Is a broken bone required for a personal injury case?
Many Auto Injuries cause soft tissue injury, which may take several weeks to manifest. The pain you experience is often a symptom of a more severe issue. Chiropractic treatments can target the damaged nerves, tendons and muscles. X rays and MRIs are helpful in identifying broken neck bones.
Auto Insurance pays for both Chiropractic and Medical Doctors to treat any Lake City GA injury. Furthermore, most personal injury cases do not involve broken bones, it involves soft tissue injury. So, you do not need a broken bone to have a personal injury case.
Does Ultrasound help?
Ultrasound is used by chiropractors immediately following a car accident to help reduce swelling. Ultrasound is also a great way to speed up healing. Chiropractic doctors use a range of manual and technical treatments to treat the Injury. Ultrasound treatment is non-evasive and leaves patients with a feeling of warmth or tingling. Ultrasound can be a very effective treatment. However, many patients feel little or no sensation.
Neck and arm numbness after car accidents
Patients who experience arm numbness often wonder whether the pain is due to a neck, back problem. Pinched nerves may cause numbness to spread throughout the arms and hand. Numbness in the arms and hands is often related to the spinal cord. The nervous system is gathered into the spinal cord, which can often be the cause of your injury.
Swelling
Finding the source of pain in a car accident is difficult. The body will shut down the pain and nerve centers to manage the physical consequences of an accident. Swelling is a natural way for the body to control or manage pain. Swelling allows the muscles to heal by neutralizing them.
Sleeping with a neck injury
It has been proved that sleeping on one’s side can cause neck and back pain. Although we do not recommend any major sleep adjustments, we do suggest additional support, heat and cold packs. Ask your doctor about sleeping.
Get back to work after an Accident Injury
You may need to wait days, weeks, or even months before you can return to your job. Even minor soft tissue injuries can keep you from performing physical tasks at your job. However, if you work, it can leave your neck vulnerable to further problems. Additional neck injuries can hurt your claim because the body is weakened and vulnerable. Multiple car accidents in a short time frame may damage your claim as well.
Delay in seeing a doctor after an accident
If you are involved in a car crash, it is important to see a doctor ASAP. Delay in treatment may cause your insurance company to doubt the validity of the claim. Also, delayed treatment may raise questions regarding the cause of your injury. Delays in treatment and gaps between treatments are two of the biggest delays when it comes to medical claims.
