Car accidents. In south Florida, it seems as if you can’t drive very far without witnessing a car wreck on the side of the road, or sitting in traffic because of a devastating pile-up.

But even more devastating? When the car accident involves you, and leaves you with pain and injuries far beyond the impact of the crash.

At Dr. Gena Chiropractic, a leader in chiropractic care in the south Florida area, we see our fair share of patients who just can’t seem to shake the pain following a car accident, even years after it occurred.

The reason for this?

Car accidents and the injuries sustained in them are considered macro-traumas, and as you very well know, macro means big. This means there can be a big impact on spinal alignment, which can then cause nervous system aberration, thus effecting the surrounding soft tissues, which results in some pretty major inflammation and damage.

Here’s the thing about car accidents. If you’ve ever been in one, you know that immediately following impact, your body feels more shock than anything. It is not uncommon to feel little to no pain after an accident, and then have it sneak up on you, days, or even weeks, later.

This is precisely why it is critical that you receive medical care immediately following an accident.

If obvious injury occurs, this is a no-brainer. But it’s the not so obvious injuries that can cause the biggest problems over time. Depending on the severity of the injury, sometimes medical intervention is needed. Once the person is stable, they should have a spinal exam. The quicker the alignment and subluxations are corrected, the quicker the injured person can heal. This translates into feeling better a lot more quickly as well,” Dr. Gena states.

Apart from this, chiropractors can help with so many types of injuries sustained in an auto accident.  As reported by 100% Chiropractic, “Chiropractors are able to treat neck and back injuries, whiplash injuries and help with soft tissue pain and injuries. Many times, individuals who have been injured in a car accident have so much muscle pain and stiffness that they simply cannot function normally. This discomfort, on top of other injuries, can be a serious issue.”

At Dr. Gena Chiropractic, we don’t want you to have any serious issues! Car accidents are traumatic enough, and ensuring you properly take care of your body and emotional wellbeing following your accident will ultimately determine how quickly you recover.
