How A Denver CO Chiropractor Helps Alleviate Pain From Auto Accidents

By Fernando Ketter


If you have been involved in an automobile accident, whether it is a minor fender bender or a major collision, you will probably experience some pain. It may come on immediately, or it may not show up for several days. When you have pain that does not require an emergency room visit, a Denver CO chiropractor can often relieve your discomfort.

Whiplash is the most common pain experienced after an auto accident. It is caused when the head is thrown forward then backward during a wreck, and can be lessened or prevented by proper headrest use. The pain is the result of pulled muscles in the neck or a misalignment of the spine, or both - both of which can be treated with chiropractic care and/or therapeutic massage. These issues cause pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. There are not many good solutions for whiplash, especially if you want to avoid taking a lot of painkillers that will only mask problems rather than solving them.

The chiropractor may also prescribe corrective exercises and postural changes to help speed the recovery of the neck and shoulders. A good chiropractor will look at your entire body and may also work on problems you were not really aware you had. The plan of care will depend on your condition, and will be designed to fit you as an individual.

Feeling better and getting back to normal is the immediate goal for most people who have suffered from any type of injury. A good chiropractic clinic can speed your recovery.

Along with the physical problems you experience with an automobile accident, there are often piles of paperwork required by the insurance companies. Most of the staff in these clinics are very familiar with the multitude of medical forms that have to be filled out and submitted.

If you have been in a car accident, consider consulting a chiropractor right away, even if you have no immediate symptoms.
