Getting holistic care after auto injuries is as important as calling your insurance agent and your auto repair shop. Dr. Jay McClanahan of Dr. J Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Nitro, WV provides the therapies and treatments that can help you to recover as quickly as possible.
The impact on the human body from an automobile accident can be devastating. Some people feel the effects right at the scene of an accident, others won't feel anything for a few days. The first three things you should do after an auto accident are to call your insurance agent, call your auto repair shop and call your chiropractor. Even if you are not feeling the effects yet, the best thing you can do for your continued health is to get holistic care immediately for your auto injuries.
What is holistic care?
Holistic care is care that considers the entire body. All aspects, spiritual, mental, physical and social, are taken into consideration. If one part is injured or not functioning at optimal levels, it affects all the other parts. The treatment in holistic care is usually medication free and relies on the belief that the body has the capacity to heal itself if all things are in alignment.
What is whiplash?
Whiplash is an injury that results from the sudden snapping forward or backwards of the head and neck due to the vehicle having impact with another vehicle or an immovable object. It can affect the soft tissues but also the joints and discs in the neck and back. Sometimes the pain is immediate and other times it takes a while. Some symptoms include pain in the neck back, arms, and shoulder. It can also cause dizziness, headache, blurred vision, and nausea.
Treatments for auto injuries
Manipulation
After your exam and diagnosis, the first thing is to get things back where they belong. Spinal manipulation helps speed the healing by causing the muscles to relax and to help the body heal itself. Manipulation helps to break up scar tissue so that it will never form to cause issues.
Therapeutic massage
After an auto accident, having tense and sore muscles is a given. A therapeutic massage can help the body to relax and that allows healing to happen faster and helps to relieve the tensions and pressure points. It also allows other therapies that your chiropractic may want to try to work more effectively.
