Why See a Chiropractor After a Car Accident?

You just got into a car accident. The first thing you do is call the police to make a report then your auto insurance company to create a claim. The next step is very important and that is to make sure you seek medical attention. Even if the accident is minor, and you don’t go to the hospital, you may still have soft tissue injuries or whiplash. After the accident, more than likely your attorney will refer you to a car accident chiropractor in Jacksonville to start a treatment plan for your recovery. You may not feel pain or discomfort until later on which is why it is important to set an appointment with your local chiropractor here at Integrative Healthcare Solutions as soon as possible.

As most of you know who have unfortunately experienced a minor or major car accident, most injuries are mostly hidden until days, weeks or months later. Whiplash is the most common injury from a car crash. Whiplash happens when a sudden movement of the head and body is jerked backward, forward, or even to the side. It destabilizes the spine and may cause pain in your neck and back. It is important to seek chiropractic care as soon as possible as it is essential for whiplash patients to make sure you maintain the health of your spine that has been through a trauma such as a car accident.

Chiropractors are here to help and detect these injuries that have been hiding from you. Here at Integrative Healthcare Solutions, Dr. Vesce will go through an examination completing a series of tests to see where the underlying cause of your pain is coming from. Like Dr. V, chiropractor physicians are able to find injuries like structural damage, disc injuries, muscle strains, ligaments sprains, joint dysfunction and nerve irritation that other medical practitioners may miss.

If Dr. Vesce finds any injuries present after your thorough examination and digital imaging he will create a treatment plan, personalized just for you and your specific injuries. This treatment plan is going to include a schedule of chiropractic adjustments, manual therapy, electrical muscle stimulation coupled with heat or ice, spinal traction and ultrasound. Dr. Vesce is going to use these chiropractic adjustments to restore health to your spine as well as the surrounding muscles and tissues. Most of the time after a car accident, subluxations and herniated discs are present. With the series of adjustments that Dr.Vesce will give you, it will straighten out these underlying issues so that you will be moving around and pain free so your back to your normal daily routine!
