Recovery Is Possible When Seattle Chiropractor Helps Alleviates Pain From Auto Accidents

By Amie Murrieta


You are driving to work one sunny morning. Out of nowhere, another vehicle crashes into you demolishing the front end of your car. Yes, the car is totaled, but that is not the worst result of the accident. The careless driver has left you disabled. You must find a way to alleviate the severe pain. A prominent Seattle Chiropractor is available to deal with the pain. Let an auto mechanic deal with the car.

When your spine is impacted it can affect any part of your body. For example, when your neck is impacted it can result in an injury commonly called whiplash. It occurs when the head is jerked forward and back in rapid succession. Lower back pain is reported most frequently by the individuals who turn to chiropractic help for relief.

Chiropractic care is preferred by those who do not want to resort to prescription pain killers or invasive procedures. The first thing your chiropractor does is conduct a full examination. This consists of examining the neck and back, range of motion testing and an x-ray. You may be asked to walk to demonstrate your posture.

You will receive no care until a full evaluation is complete. Most clients respond favorably to a series of spinal adjustments. Any of the vertebrae that are out of place will be returned to the correct position.

When the spine is correctly aligned, any pressure against the spinal nerves is relieved. That alleviates the pain your injury is causing. Pain in a shoulder, hip or leg can be lessened when nerve pressure is lifted.

Since each individual recuperates at his or her own rate, it is not possible to predict how long your recovery will take. It depends on factors such as age, how severe the injury is and general health. With each increment of pain reduction you may move closer to the day you are able to return to work and recreational pursuits.
