Car accidents are serious events and often the body will struggle to heal completely on its own. Fortunately, you can work with a chiropractor to resolve the root causes of many of your pains. If you have recently suffered an auto injury and live in the vicinity of Fairfield, CA, swing by Kosak Chiropractic to chat with Dr. Michael Wilson. He has helped many patients heal and improve their quality of life following car accidents.
Understanding the Impact a Car Accident Has on Your Body
Drive around in a car at 25 miles per hour, and it’ll often feel like you’re going slow. Yet such speeds already exceed the top sprinting speed for the average person. From the perspective of your musculoskeletal system and the types of impacts it is designed to absorb, cars move very fast.
When you get in an accident, whether at 25 miles per hour or 70 miles per hour, tremendous forces will be exerted on your body. Your spine could quickly become misaligned by these forces, and your various joints and other tissues could likewise be knocked out of alignment.
Muscles and other tissues may also become strained. Whiplash is an especially serious and common issue. It results from a vehicle suddenly decelerating, causing the head and neck to whip forward. Unfortunately, if you suffered an injury due to a car accident, there’s a high risk that you will experience chronic pain.
Fortunately, by working with a chiropractor, you may be able to address the underlying issues causing pain. If you live around Fairfield, CA, and are recovering from a car accident injury, come see Dr. Wilson at Kosak Chiropractic.
Address the Root Causes of Your Auto Accident Injuries
Pain medications can block pain signals from reaching the brain and may offer some other limited benefits, like reducing inflammation. However, many medications often fall short of addressing the underlying cause of your aches. This means that once the medications wear off, the pain will return.
With chiropractic care, it’s often possible to address the source of pain. Once properly mitigated, this means that pain signals won’t be set off in the first place. This can result in lasting pain relief and improve your overall quality of life.
If your spine has become misaligned, chiropractic adjustments can be used to straighten it out, which may permanently resolve muscle strain. Likewise, massage therapy and other forms of chiropractic care can reduce muscle tension, resulting in pain relief.
