Top 5 Auto Accident Injuries Seen By Your Chiropractor in Loveland CO

We want everyone in our community to know just how important it is to seek professional chiropractic care after an auto accident--even if it was "just" a small fender bender and you feel "fine."

Why?

Interestingly, the level of certain hormones in your body--especially adrenaline and cortisol (the "stress" hormone)--will rise drastically in the time immediately after a traumatic event such as a car collision. It takes time--days or even weeks--for these hormones to return to their normal resting levels. Until that happens, pain and other symptoms can actually be masked, which means that an injury can worsen or develop without you even realizing it.

most commonly seen after an auto accident?

Here are 5 we see the most:

• Whiplash, which includes headaches, jaw pain, ringing in the ears, numbness, and tingling
• Lower back pain
• Shoulder pain
• Hip and leg pain
• Sciatica

Studies show that even an auto accident occurring at 2.5 miles per hour can lead to damages and injury in the spine.

Oftentimes, patients will suffer from other conditions which also may be caused by the auto collision, but perhaps nobody has made the connection. Here are the top 3 conditions we see which you may think are NOT related to auto accidents, but research shows a strong correlation.

1. Changes in digestion, which may or may not be triggered by a concussion.
2. TMJ or jaw or bite problems
3. Alterations in sleep patterns (not related to pain!)

What To Expect

A doctor of chiropractic is the recommended person to see for auto accident injury treatment. Chiropractic care is a natural way to minimize pain, reduce inflammation, restore normal spinal joint alignment, and facilitate soft tissue healing. Techniques used to achieve this include spinal adjustments, and soft tissue mobilizations--no drugs or invasive procedures required. Your chiropractor in Loveland CO will carefully evaluate your entire body and recent history to identify hidden factors that may be contributing to or exacerbating your symptoms. Specific details are taken to measure functionality in the spine post-accident and pre-care and then evaluated and measured at the end of care.

Throughout your initial care following a car collision, and or in later stages of recovery, our chiropractors can offer nutritional counseling, lifestyle guidance, and corrective exercises to further promote optimal recovery and life enjoyment.
