Chiropractic Treatment for Car Accidents in Little Neck

No one anticipates getting into a car accident, but almost everyone that has the misfortune to get into one will have some negative physical effect as a result. Whether it is just a minor fender bender or a serious, multi-car crash, your body will undergo trauma. Chiropractic treatment for car accidents at our chiropractic office in Little Neck is unique to each individual to get the maximum benefit possible.

COMMON CAR ACCIDENT INJURIES

Neck, shoulder, and back injuries are some of the most common issues chiropractors see after a car accident. Whiplash occurs when your cervical spine is abruptly “whipped” backward and then forward. This injury often happens as the result of a rear-end collision when the individual doesn’t know it’s coming. Along with the whipping effect, comes muscle stiffness and pain in the days and weeks following the accident. Sometimes, when a driver or passenger sees the impact coming, they will tense up their muscles in anticipation. This can cause them to end up with strained back muscles, neck muscles, or shoulder muscles.

CHIROPRACTIC CAR ACCIDENT TREATMENTS

While your chiropractic treatment for car accidents in Little Neck will be customized to match your specific injuries, some of the more common treatment methods include:

• COX Flexion Distraction & Spinal Manipulation
• Chiropractic Adjustments & Spinal Mobilization
• Electric muscle stimulation
• Specific exercises to address the area
• Lifestyle advice to address ergonomic issues that contribute to pain

Every chiropractic treatment plan for car accidents will include a thorough consultation to determine what is causing your pain and the best course of action to find a solution. Since everyone’s body is different, and every car accident is different, the treatment must be customized to the individual to achieve lasting results.
