Recovering after an auto accident injury can be hard. In addition to trying to get your physical health back, you have to deal with many other details. At such a moment, you need someone to help keep the focus on you as an individual, and your recovery. We at Excelsior Chiropractic, serving Excelsior, MN, and Shorewood, MN, are here to provide care from a “chiropractor near me.”
Auto Accident Injury Treatment
At Excelsior Chiropractic, our chiropractors and professional staff understand the trauma and stress you are going through if you are the victim of an auto accident. The good news is that we can help patients recover from accident injuries without recourse to surgery or painkillers.
In many cases after an accident, much of the pain you may be experiencing, such as the neck pain from whiplash, or shoulder pain, doesn't actually arise in the neck or shoulder at all. Instead, it may be arising from an injury to the spinal column, whether a misaligned vertebrae, or a slipped disc. Chiropractors are trained in treating back pain and we have different techniques that can help us to treat other forms of pain as well.
Auto Injury and Spinal Health
Your spinal column is made up of a spinal cord, a long nerve which runs from the base of your brain to your pelvis. This vital nerve is protected by vertebrae spinal discs. When the spine functions correctly, each vertebra and disc has a precise location, which allows the back to bend and flex, while still keeping the spinal cord secure.
The trauma of an accident can cause one or more of these bones or discs to become displaced, and possibly to rub against a neighboring bone, the spinal cord, or one of the many nerves that branches off the spine. When this happens, pain can result.
Frequently, we are able to potentially help reduce or eliminate the pain after an accident by means of a chiropractic adjustment to the spine or neck. In an adjustment, a chiropractor will attempt to reposition the spine into its natural form, which can help alleviate the pain your auto accident may have caused you.
