If you’ve recently been in an auto accident and you’re just not feeling right, it’s time to see a Frisco chiropractor. Just because you weren’t hauled away from the scene of the accident in an ambulance doesn’t mean you didn’t suffer an injury. Often injuries to the neck and spine aren’t apparent to the naked eye. In fact, they may not even be apparent to you right away. It may take a couple of days for your back to feel out of whack, your neck to be tight or headaches to become a concern.
Auto accidents – or any accidents involving moving vehicles – and whiplash go hand-in-hand. In whiplash, your head jerks violently forward and backward or side-to-side depending on the area of impact. The result can be damage to the joints, tendons, muscles and nerve roots in your neck. While you may not experience any great discomfort at first, whiplash can present itself in the hours or days following an accident with pain in your neck, head or back especially when stretching your neck in any one direction, decreased range of motion, tenderness and headaches that start in the base of your skull and radiate upwards toward the front of your head.
Whether you’re experiencing symptoms or not following an accident, it’s important that you have an examination by a Frisco chiropractor, who can assess and diagnose any problems you may have. Fast response is the best way to alleviate the symptoms of whiplash and to correct the spinal misalignments that can occur during an impact. Pain management, massages and gentle but active chiropractic treatments and adjustments can do the job quickly to keep you pain-free and to increase your mobility.
Because a Frisco chiropractor has so many treatment tools in his arsenal, he can individualize your treatment based on your symptoms. His goal is to realign your spine and to make sure that you can look over both shoulders without pain or stiffness, rock your head forward and backward and from side-to-side also without pain or stiffness. Once you’re at the point where you’ve achieved this kind of mobility and you’re pain-free, you can resume your normal activities and get back to your life.
