Gresham Chiropractor Helps Alleviates Pain From Auto Accidents For Faster Healing

By Jessie Drolet


Many drivers are unaware that even a minor accident, sometimes called a fender bender can cause hidden injuries. Without proper care, over time the problems can cause headaches, pain or arthritis. A Gresham chiropractor uses spinal adjustments to restore function to the body.

Chiropractors provide therapy for many different accident related injuries. Whiplash can cause neck and shoulder pain the eventually leads to headaches, vertigo or dizziness. Injuries to the lower spine may cause back pain or problems in the legs. Even the life-saving seat belt can lead to injuries.

Many people involved in slow speed collisions look at their vehicle and are relieved that it sustained little damage. Unfortunately, the driver's body may have injuries that have long lasting effects. Some minor crashes result in pain that is long lasting as well as other suffering and an overall decrease in the enjoyment of life.

Whiplash, an injury to the neck can occur when the vehicle is moving at a minimal speed. While the vehicle may come to an abrupt stop, the passenger's body can remain in motion. His or her neck snaps forward and back. Whiplash can affect the entire body. The trauma may be long lasting and painful.

Other than head injuries, problems with the spine are the most commonly reported complaints from a vehicle crash. If the crash takes place at above 45 MPH, spinal trouble is almost guaranteed. The spine absorbs much of the force of the impact and injuries may include dislocations, bruising or even broken bones.

With help from a Gresham chiropractor, accident victims receive the care needed to speed their healing. Chiropractic is a noninvasive type of therapy that often helps to avoid use of pain medications and surgery. When injuries such as whiplash are allowed to heal correctly, they are less likely to result in long lasting effects and crash victims are able to live pain free once healing occurs.
