Why Do I Need Chiropractic Care?
During a crash, the body is subjected to great forces it simply wasn’t built to handle. These forces place strain and stress on the neck, shoulder, and back, damaging the ligaments holding your spine together. Our staff is trained to diagnose and treat these types of injuries. If treated soon enough, inflammation can usually be reduced and scar tissue minimized.
In some cases, the patient suffers a loss of curvature in the cervical spine, inflammation of the spine, spinal misalignment, strained muscles and ligament damage, and often disc issues. These factors may cause neck and back pain, headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, shoulder pain, pain in the arms or hands, and reduced ability to turn the head or trunk.

Phases of Care
Phase 1 is characterized by inflammation as the body attempts to repair itself after injury. If left untreated, inflammation becomes excessive or uncontrolled and can lead to delayed healing, pain and chronic inflammation.
- Reduce discomfort, swelling and muscle spasm
- Improve range of motion
- Prevent scar tissue
Treatment:
- Chiropractic manipulation (light force only)
- Passive therapeutic modalities
- Ice
- ADL (Activities of Daily living)
Phase 2 accelerates after pain and swelling are controlled. During this time, the body continues to regenerate cells and collagen, as well as develop scar tissue.
- Improve range of motion
- Support joint function
- Promote healing (specifically soft tissue reconstruction)
Treatment:
- Chiropractic manipulation
- Modalities
