Auto collisions happen daily and can result in many kinds of injuries. Even if you’ve been cleared by emergency responders, it’s a good idea to immediately seek treatment from Holistic Health Care Natural Nutrition & Chiropractic Center. Dr. Louis Castaldi helps many patients with auto injury treatments in Eastchester, NY.
What Are Some Common Injuries from Auto Accidents?
One of the most common reasons to seek auto injury treatments is whiplash. Whiplash happens when your neck rapidly snaps back and forth. It's a common injury in rear-end collisions. You may not feel the effects of this condition immediately, but it’s still there and could be getting worse, which is why early intervention from a chiropractor is essential to help prevent or reduce pain. Many people also have back pain due to other back injuries, including tension in the soft tissues, such as muscles and tendons.
How Can a Chiropractor Help?
Dr. Castaldi in Eastchester, NY, has several techniques to facilitate healing after a vehicle collision. If you have whiplash, a series of chiropractic adjustments can help, especially if you start them early. Your chiropractor may use X-rays to check spinal alignment or applied kinesiology to check the muscles in the neck and related nerves. Untreated whiplash can cause pain, numbness, tingling, nausea, headaches, and loss of motion. It can even contribute to pain that radiates down to the arms. If you have back pain related to a vehicle collision, you may have bulging or herniated discs from impact, but chiropractic adjustments can slowly move your spinal discs back into place over several sessions. When discs are no longer compressing a nerve, the pain should subside over time.
You may also have pain in the soft tissues from muscle strain or damaged tendons. Muscle spasms can occur if your muscles are not able to contract after being weakened from an injury. With PEMF Therapy, your chiropractor can help restore damaged cells and promote healing. Simply relax on a mat while magnetic pulses go through the body during a 30-minute session. The cells will recharge over time and may improve range of motion and nerve function and reduce inflammation from auto injuries.
