Chiropractic Treatments for Personal Injuries
Almost every automobile accident involves damage of one kind or another to the spine. Whether it is as simple as whiplash, to something more serious or complex, spinal injuries are the predominant injury in car accidents.
The chiropractic profession focuses upon total body health through the proper alignment of the spine. Every part of the body is connected directly through the spinal column and nervous system. It would make perfect sense and stand to reason then that when the spine is not properly aligned, the rest of the body will not perform well either. Even the smallest misalignment can produce difficulties in the body in many forms depending upon which part of the spine is affected.
The resulting pain and discomfort that occurs following an accident is often a direct result of the injury to the spine. Headaches, neck and back aches, even muscle aches can be attributed to the misalignment of the spine during trauma. Left untreated, this misalignment can cause further and more severe discomfort and pain down the road.
In the past, insurance companies and attorneys have been reluctant to refer patients to chiropractors for the treatment of these injuries, believing instead that the trauma would best be relieved by more traditional muscle manipulation treatments and medical doctors.
This process can often be lengthy and expensive, and after treatment subsides, the patient is sometimes left with the same aches and pains returning. Although chiropractors are able to eliminate most aches, pains and symptoms completely, after careful examination and radiology reports, if a chiropractor becomes aware that there is degeneration or a serious compromise to the discs within the bone structure of the spine, the patient will be referred to an orthopedic surgeon for further evaluation and treatment.
Chiropractors are holistic practitioners, meaning they examine the entire body when diagnosing or treating a patient, as well as mainly focusing on preventive care as a way to avoid disease and degeneration of the body.
The advance of holistic medicine in the area of chiropractic, has caused more people to request the use of chiropractors rather than traditionally used methods as the resulting relief from pain is much faster and more noticeable.
