After an accident, consulting with a chiropractor can help you recover from a variety of auto accident injuries without medication or surgery. Regardless of how good of a driver you are, accidents happen every day in Hopkinsville, and the pain you feel following the event should always be taken seriously. Whether you feel the effects immediately or a few days later, your local Doctor of Chiropractic and the team of massage therapist can help ease the pain and ensure it does not become a long-term problem.

Understanding the Pain

During a collision with another vehicle, your body goes through movements that are unusual. One of the most common injuries is whiplash, which occurs when your head whips back and forth very quickly, further than the typical range of motion. This can cause a lot of damage and discomfort. You may also feel some pain in your back, because of the compression your spine undergoes during a collision.

Any damage done to the muscles, ligaments, and tendons that support your head can become very painful if not addressed. Your chiropractor will determine a plan of action using a variety of manipulations adapted to your specific case to ease the pain. The massage therapist which are trained in medical and sports massage will address the muscles that have been injured in the accident. The ability to address both the muscle and the spinal needs in one location will help speed up the healing process.

Many people involved in car accidents mention suffering from headaches following the shock. Chiropractic care and massage therapy can help relieve the tension in the cervical spine caused by muscle spasms, concussion, or nerve irritations, which can all cause headaches.

Treating the Source

The auto accident injuries described above can all be successfully treated with chiropractic care at THE SPA in Hopkinsville. As opposed to painkillers that will mask the pain for a few hours, chiropractors use manipulations, gentle adjustments, and trigger point therapy to ease your pain, directly from the source.
