Should You See a Chiropractor After a Car Accident?

posted: Aug. 29, 2024.

If you are experiencing back pain or neck pain due to an auto accident, the discomfort can significantly affect your quality of life. Not only that, but the pain can also become chronic when left untreated. At Multicare Health Clinic in Sioux City, IA, we provide various treatments to relieve your aches and help your body heal. Before visiting us, continue reading to learn how chiropractic care can be helpful after a car accident!

Why Chiropractic Care is Important After an Accident

Chiropractors focus on diagnosing and treating injuries that may arise from car accidents, such as whiplash, back pain, and joint stiffness. Even if you feel fine after an accident, underlying injuries could manifest later. Chiropractic care addresses these issues early, helping prevent long-term complications.

The Benefits of Prompt Treatment

One of the primary advantages of seeing our chiropractors soon after a car accident is the potential for quicker recovery. Early intervention can reduce inflammation, restore range of motion, and minimize pain. We use non-invasive techniques that promote natural healing, avoiding the need for medications or surgery.

Common Injuries Treated by Chiropractors

Our chiropractors treat various injuries resulting from car accidents, including whiplash, back pain, and spinal misalignments. Whiplash, often caused by sudden neck movement during a collision, is a common issue addressed through chiropractic care. Additionally, we can help manage herniated discs and other spinal injuries that can occur from the impact. Soft tissue injuries like muscle strains and ligament sprains are also commonly treated, which can help you heal quicker.

What to Expect During Your First Visit

During your initial visit, we will conduct a thorough examination, which may include X-rays to assess the extent of your injuries. Based on the findings, our chiropractors will develop a personalized treatment plan to relieve pain and prevent further injury. Treatments often consist of spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and exercises to strengthen the affected areas.
