Possibly shocking to you, there are about 13 car accidents in the U.S. every minute. That is a lot of people who are potentially getting injured. At Margate Chiropractic Health Center, serving Margate, FL, and the nearby region, Dr. Jayson Milner believe these individuals deserve natural treatment and relief of their pain.
Types of Car Accident Injuries
During a car accident, a number of injuries can arise. For instance, you may have pain as a result of stress on your back. It's possible to suffer from whiplash - a neck strain - after a rear-end collision. Arm, leg, and head injuries are also possible.
Providing Relief
Whether we're your first stop after an accident or you already saw a medical doctor, we're here to help. If you didn't already receive a diagnosis, our practitioner can examine you thoroughly. We'll ask about your symptoms and if there's anything that worsens them, such as movement. We'll also take a look at your medical history to see if you could have exacerbated a previous injury or surgery.
You'll then receive a customized treatment approach for your specific situation. This may consist of regular chiropractic adjustments. These treatments consist of you lying on an exam table, and our practitioner realigning your spine using gentle thrusts. It not only eases pressure on the nearby nerves and soft tissue, but it also enhances circulation - allowing more nutrients to reach the injured area, which ultimately promotes healing.
Part of your treatment may include therapeutic exercise. For this treatment, our practitioner will guide you through exercises that gently stretch the muscles and other soft tissue in the area. The exercises will gradually increase in difficulty to continually enhance your flexion and function. We may use this treatment as the main part of your recovery or as a way to enhance your treatment plan or prepare you for another treatment.
Heat therapy is another treatment we use for a car accident injury. If you have sore muscles and soft tissue, our practitioner may apply heat to the area. The purpose is to encourage blood flow. It also helps to loosen muscles.
We should note that these are merely some of the treatments we offer and we can provide more detailed information about them on the basis of a particular patient’s condition.
