Auto Accident Injury Recovery through Chiropractic Care

Auto accidents can be highly stressful physically, mentally, and emotionally. Especially in the Elkins Park and Philadelphia area because of the high population! Even if the accident was small and your vehicle only sustained minor damage, your body (most commonly the shoulders and neck) can still suffer debilitating pain. Chiropractic adjustments can be a go-to treatment for an injury sustained in an auto accident.

Whiplash is the number one injury an auto accident victim will face. It is an injury to the shoulders, neck, and skull caused when the crown violently jolts due to vehicle collisions. When the head shakes this suddenly, the neck muscles and ligaments push past their limits, often causing chronic pain and agony. Some symptoms of Whiplash are headaches, blurred vision, neck pain, and stiffness in the neck, shoulders, and back. Even the most minor accidents can cause Whiplash, and most people don’t see a chiropractor because they think their injury is insignificant. After all, the accident was minor. These people are wrong. If Whiplash injuries go untreated (no matter how small or big the damage is), it can cause the body to heal improperly and misaligned, causing chronic pain for life. Seeing Dr. Beth Snyder, DC., can help restore the alignment in your back, neck, and shoulders, allowing the body to heal properly and prevent chronic pain in the future.

Many wonder how their injuries will be diagnosed while visiting Stone Bridge Wellness. Dr. Beth Snyder, DC, will first check symptoms and perform X-rays to examine the spine for misalignments. Depending on the severity of the injuries sustained, Dr. Beth Snyder, DC, will then recommend how many visits you will need. Multiple times a week are often recommended for more extreme cases. Dr. Beth Snyder, DC, will perform spinal manipulations or spinal decompression to address and heal your pain and injuries. At Stone Bridge Wellness, Stone Bridge Wellness can also recommend different stretches and physical therapy options best for your healing process. Dr. Beth Snyder, DC, can only treat injuries relating to spinal misalignments, so if you are feeling tight and sore, you should visit one of the offices. If you have broken bones or lacerations, you should go to the ER immediately. Once your pain is gone, it is no longer a necessity for you to receive adjustments or decompression. However, often enough, people who have come into one of the offices will continue coming every few weeks for regular spinal adjustments from Dr. Beth Snyder, DC, because patients have felt firsthand a boost in their immune system and overall health.
