Manhattan Chiropractor Helps Alleviates Pain From Auto Accidents

By Kurt Saniel


Significant, ongoing pain is not something a healthy person normally has to tolerate. But, if involved in an automobile crash, that can change. Numerous injuries from broken arms to misaligned vertebrae can occur. The accident victim can find relief in one of the chiropractic offices Manhattan NY has available.

Crashing into an object or another car at a high rate of speed is likely to cause disabling damage. There is also a collision that can cause injury at a low rate of speed. That is a rear end crash. It often results in a neck injury called whiplash.

While a seat belt holds your body in place your head can be jerked rapidly in one direction and then another. The result is similar to what occurs in shaken baby syndrome. You may be unable to turn your head in either direction or look up at the sky without significant pain. The pain may not occur immediately. It may be hours or days later that the pain begins.

A high percentage of these victims turn to a chiropractor for pain relief. They prefer this type of care because it is medication free and non-invasive. During the first office appointment the chiropractor will question you about the accident and the severity of the pain you feel. X-rays will usually be required along with the physical exam.

When any of the spinal vertebrae are subluxated, they can cause pressure against the nerve roots. This can cause severe pain in any part of the back. Following a complete evaluation of your condition a care plan can be arranged. A series of manual adjustments may be used to ease the vertebrae back into the correct position.

When deemed appropriate, the adjustments applied in a series of office visits, will serve to correct this misalignment, often referred to as a subluxation. Massage is sometimes added to the care plan to ease the strained muscles and other soft tissues. As progress is made the pain will be reduced. You can plan ahead to return to your normal activities of daily living.
