ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most auto accident victims are unaware that they need to quickly address their car accident injuries. Chiropractic appointments should be made soon after a car accident as those that experience optimal results and receive useful insurance coverage begin chiropractic rehabilitation within 14 days after a car accident. Victims of car accidents can experience symptoms and soft tissue injuries that are not immediately observable. Dizziness and migraines from whiplash are common symptoms often unaddressed and appear approximately 48 hours after an accident. Undiagnosed and untreated injuries can lead to long-term discomfort and reduce the ability of car accident victims to perform routine activities.
Whiplash is one of the many injuries that occur as a result of an auto accident. Whiplash often results from auto collisions which forcefully move the head past its normal range of motion. Misalignment of the spine, as well as soft tissue damage in the neck and shoulders, result. Symptoms include stiffness, neck pain and headaches. Chiropractic care can address injuries from car accidents, realign the spinal column and reduce pressure on damaged areas. Patients report less pain and an improved range of motion in the neck, shoulders, back, and hips with the use of chiropractic treatments and therapeutic massage. An individualized program of treatment at Summit Chiropractic may include myofascial release (MFR) and deep massage therapy integrated with cryotherapy and intersegmental traction.
“Chiropractic is effective for recovery from soft tissue and spinal injuries following car accidents,” said Dr. Jamee Fike. “As an experienced chiropractor, I have seen the improvement experienced from many car accident victims after using chiropractic techniques and complementary approaches as part of an individualized program to holistically treat their injuries. Many clients appreciate how subtle manipulations help manage and reduce pain and relieve migraines that may be directly related to spinal misalignment, nerve impingement, and inflammation. Many patients want to reduce their reliance on medication and address the injury at its source. Chiropractic treatment uses the body’s innate healing ability to help patients alleviate inflammation and pain and assist in the optimal recovery of range of motion and strength. Patients often find the sessions educational and implement exercises and techniques to be used at home.”
