Unfortunately, many people have been involved in car accidents. Sometimes the accidents are severe, being either fatal or life-threatening to the driver or passengers involved but other times they are minor fender benders and the persons involved are able to walk away from the accident unscathed or so it seems at first. At first drivers and passengers may feel a little stiff but appear to be uninjured. But it is not uncommon for car accident injuries to go hidden for months or even years. When people do begin to have pain, they may feel it in their back and neck and the pain may be accompanied by headaches and tension. These symptoms may get worse over a period of time and eventually completely debilitate a person, preventing him or her from performing their normal daily activities. Many people suffer from these symptoms without realizing that their injuries resulted from their seemingly small car accident. Many people go on without getting properly diagnosed, using painkillers to mask the pain and wearing braces to temporarily reduce the pain. Those people would do well to visit a chiropractic doctor. These doctors specialize in soft tissue as well as structural damage and are well acquainted with car accident injuries. A chiropractor can take x-rays and assess your injuries. Most people are surprised at how misaligned their necks and joints can really get from simple car accidents. But receiving regular chiropractic care is a natural way to treat the pain and tension resulting from whiplash and other car related injuries. Chiropractors can readjust your neck and back getting it into proper alignment, use muscle stimulation procedures to reduce tension, and assign and instruct you to do the proper exercises to strengthen your back and muscles. A chiropractor will try to correct all of the underlying improper musculoskeletal biomechanics that can be such a great source of pain. Chiropractic care is great because it is natural; the pain is treated by directly fixing the problem rather than prescribing drugs. It is also less invasive. No surgical tools, cutting, or blood is involved. All joint alignments are done with the force of the hands. Visiting the chiropractor is not at all like visiting any other general physician or a surgeon which many people are apprehensive about. Rather, many people report their appointments as relaxing and look forward to their next treatment. Patients can also be assured that chiropractic care is safe for everyone and it is important that all passengers, even children are checked out by a chiropractor. Chiropractors have gone through years of vigorous specialized training and schooling, passed many tests, and gone to great lengths to become licensed and certified to treat all people, children included. It is wise to see a chiropractor immediately after a car accident to insure that you don't have any hidden injuries that will severely affect your life later. Don't wait, do it before your case with the insurance companies is closed, because often times insurance companies will cover the cost of chiropractic treatment of car accident related injuries. San Francisco chiropractic care practitioners not only provide relief treatment for your problem, but they also provide massages, nutritional advice and therapeutic exercises to restore and promote your overall health.
