After a car accident, a patient may be surprised to leave their doctor’s office with only a handful of prescriptions and not much else in terms of a treatment plan. Backaches, neck pain, stiffness, soreness, and restricted range of motion are all very common for those who were recently in a car crash. The providers at NJ Health and Injury Solution in Totowa, NJ can identify why these symptoms are arising, and can perform spinal and other joint adjustments as well as incorporate cutting edge physical therapy into your individualized treatment plan.
INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT PLAN
Many patients may experience the following benefits:
- Reduction in inflammation: micro-tears within the muscles and ligaments of the body are common, and cannot be found through a standard x-ray. Spinal adjustments can bring the spine back into alignment, producing natural anti-inflammatory properties to assist with discomfort from these tears.
- Reduction of scar tissue formation: muscles can get scarred after an accident, causing stiffness and soreness. A chiropractor can target these scarred areas and help break down the build-up quicker than if it was left to heal on its own. Less scar tissue means a person is likely to feel better much faster.
- Decreased need for medication: prescription pain medication can be very addictive. Taking a heavy painkiller in the short-term may turn into a continued addiction or dependency. Chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy can ensure that the true injury is being healed, and that pain isn’t simply being masked as an effect of the medications.
- Long-term benefits: receiving chiropractic care promptly after a car accident can help prevent minor injuries from worsening into serious and chronic conditions down the road.
- Range of motion increase: neck or back injuries can result in restricted mobility. It may be difficult to turn your neck or move in other ways when your muscles are inflamed. Mobilizing the spine through chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy can help restore proper range of motion and encourage the healing process.
- Reduce pain: with spinal adjustments, a person can have pain reduced in not only the affected areas, but relief throughout their entire body too. Many people express feeling significant relief immediately following an adjustment, which could be due to the release of pain-reducing hormones.
