You may need the care of a Tacoma Chiropractor. Even minor car accidents can affect your health!
Emergency room doctors generally do not know the benefits of Chiropractor services after a car accident, and most doctors are not trained to diagnose spinal nerve stress. Because of this, many car accident victims leave the hospital with the same spinal nerve damage as they had when they were admitted. Many people suffer for months, years or even decades afterwards.
It is important to contact a chiropractor that knows the effects of car accidents on the spine as soon as possible. The quicker you start, the quicker you begin to heal.
A car accident can really mess your back up, give you whiplash and a concussion.
It can also make the degeneration of your spine worse. Thousands of pounds of force are exerted on the neck and spine in an auto accident, even a low-impact accident. Whiplash occurs when the head and neck are thrown, or “snapped,” back and forth very quickly (see our video on auto injuries and whiplash at our Tacoma Whiplash Center web site). The result can be a painful injury to the soft tissue, ligaments, and discs of the neck and spine. Many people who have been in a traumatic car accident don’t receive chiropractic treatment. That is the reason why so many car accident victims endure repeated surgery, don’t fully recover from their injuries, and might need pain medication for years. Our Tacoma Chiropractors can help make the difference between lingering pain and disability or true recovery and healing.
Most insurance companies know the many advantages chiropractic care offers. This treatment is usually fully covered by automobile insurance policies whether you are the driver, passenger, or a pedestrian… regardless of who is at fault.
