Recovering from Auto Accidents with Innerve8 Medical
Even a compact car can weigh up to 2,500 pounds. Consider the impact of a vehicle of that mass in a collision. This doesn't even account for the force of acceleration. In essence, an auto accident can subject your body to significant stress. Fortunately, our skilled chiropractors at Innerve8 Medical, proudly serving Alexandria, VA, and the surrounding areas, are well-equipped to offer auto injury treatments.
The type of injuries sustained in an auto accident can vary depending on factors such as the angle of impact, the speed involved, and the specific circumstances of the collision. However, one of the most prevalent injuries is whiplash, which often occurs in rear-end collisions. This injury arises from the sudden forward and backward whipping motion of the neck, straining the soft tissues.
Headaches are another frequent auto accident injury. They can be linked to whiplash or may result from head impact during the collision, potentially causing a concussion. The stress and anxiety following an accident can exacerbate headaches. Additionally, sprains or strains in various parts of the body, such as the back, can occur.
Diagnostic Process
Our chiropractors understand that post-accident symptoms may not manifest immediately and can sometimes take days to appear. Therefore, we conduct a thorough evaluation during your visit. This assessment involves assessing your range of motion by performing movements with the affected body part.
We also take into account your medical history to determine whether you may have aggravated a pre-existing condition. During your consultation, we will inquire about your current symptoms and gather details about the accident to gain a comprehensive understanding of your situation.
Auto accidents subject your body to substantial stress, often leading to subluxations. Consequently, our chiropractors may recommend chiropractic adjustments to restore spinal balance and alleviate pressure on adjacent nerves and soft tissues. These adjustments can target your neck or back, depending on your specific needs.
