Are you suffering from pain after having been in an accident? You can benefit from auto injury and whiplash treatments from Dr. Deborah Fisher of Fisher Chiropractic Wellness and Injury in Dade City, FL.
Common Auto Injuries
After an auto injury, most people suffer from back and neck pain. And while some may feel pain immediately, others will feel the pain after a couple of weeks and months. Most serious car accidents can affect the lives of victims for years to come if the issue is not addressed. Fortunately, auto injury and whiplash treatments from a skilled chiropractor can bring pain relief and allow you to get back to your normal life.
Scheduling several visits with a chiropractor can restore your body to its initial health, enhance the body's balance, and help rebuild the strength needed to combat the long-term effects of auto accident injuries like whiplash.
What Is a Whiplash Injury?
One of the most common injuries after auto accidents is whiplash injury. It usually occurs from a sudden and forceful movement of the neck. Common symptoms of whiplash include:
- Numbness
- Headaches
- Issues with vision
- Neck soreness and stiffness
- Nausea and dizziness
- Pain around the shoulder region
- Difficulties moving the neck or head
Common Treatments for Auto Injury and Whiplash
Some of the treatment options you can expect from the Fisher Chiropractic Wellness and Injury team are as follows.
- Gentle chiropractic adjustments: These are gentle manipulations of the joints and neck without any sudden twisting. As a result, there is little discomfort associated with this procedure. These body manipulations can be performed on various joints.
- Myofascial body work: This is a form of physical therapy in which the doctor applies gentle pressure on tightened areas of the fascia tissues to relieve pain, thereby restoring normal tissue function. Normal myofascia ought to feel elastic or pliable. Those gentle pressures are meant to release the tightness on trigger points.
- Stretching and strengthening exercises: These exercises are meant to release muscle tension, making daily motion comfortable and reducing the risk of injuries. Strengthening also grants the muscles some stability, promoting better posture and balance.
