If you have been involved in a road traffic accident, on a motorbike or in a car, you will know how debilitating the after effects can be. Whiplash injury to the neck, or cervical sprain, is by far the most common injury that results from a car accident. Sprains and strains are also known as soft tissue damage; this includes muscles, tendons and ligaments. If soft tissue damage is not addressed with proper care, and left untreated or unresolved, the injured muscles and other soft tissues can end up causing chronic pain for months, even years, after the accident. Injured bones and muscles heal, surrounded in scar tissue, in such a way that they are weaker and prone to re-injury. It is very important that you should ask for testing following an accident, advanced image testing such as CT scans can provide more insight into the internal condition of your bones. You must ensure you see a physiotherapist, who will show you the correct exercises and stretches; you will need to do, to rebuild your strength. The help of a chiropractor is an essential part of your treatment plan, it is best to see one regularly. A chiropractor looks for areas of the spine that are fixed or misaligned. These areas of fixed spinal bones put pressure on delicate spinal nerves, which prevents the nerves from functioning properly. Special techniques are used to move the fixed spinal bone back into alignment. An accident can impact your life in more ways than you can possibly imagine. Many people find it hard to cope even with the support of family and friends. Following a road accident, the physical injuries are the first to impact your life, but it is not uncommon to suffer from emotional trauma. You could find yourself suffering from a fear of driving, panic attacks and flashbacks or nightmares. Your general standard of life may be greatly affected. You could find your love of driving is quickly gone; this can make normal tasks such as travelling to work impossible. It is not uncommon to find you have post traumatic stress disorder following an accident. Psychiatric symptoms and disorders are frequent after major and less severe road accident injury. Post-traumatic symptoms are common and disabling. Anyone who does find they are suffering in such a way should ensure they receive counselling. A method such as cognitive behaviour therapy is found to be very effective in helping a person resolve emotional effects.
