FLOWER MOUND, Texas, Aug. 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Butler Chiropractic Clinic in Flower Mound, TX is raising awareness about the importance of chiropractic care following an auto accident injury. The pain management center is urging auto injury victims to seek prompt care after their accident. Even in the absence of pain symptoms, the musculoskeletal system may have sustained serious trauma. Early intervention and treatment can help restore proper alignment to the body. Chiropractor Dr. Randy Butler says that adjustments and physiotherapy are essential to preventing chronic back pain following auto accident injuries.
Lewisville and Flower Mound chiropractor Dr. Randy Butler is urging auto accident victims to seek prompt treatment. According to Dr. Butler, prompt care can make the difference between proper healing and a lifetime of chronic pain.
"A fender bender may seem like a minor accident, but even accidents at slow speeds can cause serious damage to the musculoskeletal system," said Dr. Butler. "Chiropractic care is a safe, effective treatment for helping accident victims correctly heal. By correcting the mechanical misalignment caused by an accident, we can effectively treat whiplash injuries, headaches and back pain."
Whiplash is one of the most common auto accident injuries. When the force of a rear auto impact whips the cervical spine beyond its normal range of motion, whiplash then occurs. Whiplash victims may suffer chronic neck pain, headaches, and experience difficulty concentrating on simple tasks.
Auto accident victims may also suffer a herniated disc, causing low back pain. "Adjustments are a gentle, hands-on treatment that is extremely effective for helping injury victims heal," said Dr. Butler. "We often combine physiotherapy with these treatments to promote internal healing and help restore natural motion to the neck."
According to Dr. Butler, chiropractic care is an effective treatment for auto accident injuries because it corrects the underlying mechanical misalignment. For example, with a whiplash injury, the cervical spine is pulled out of alignment. If the vertebra compress nearby nerves, patients can experience headaches, neck pain and other chronic problems.
"Spinal adjustments safely create space between compressed vertebrae, allowing them to return to their normal position," said Dr. Butler. "By relieving pressure on the nerves, the nerves are no longer irritated. This helps promote healing and restore balance to the body, relieving pain."
Dr. Butler stressed that his treatments are non-invasive and drug-free. "Many patients appreciate our natural approach to wellness, which does not rely on medication to heal," said Dr. Butler. "Instead, we help unlock the body's inner ability to heal itself and promote whole body health."
