Car Accidents And Chiropractic Care

The number one cause of injury in the United States is car accidents. Depending on the severity of the car accident, the level of injury can vary. But even a 10 MPH car crash can have a significant impact on the spine. Consulting a chiropractor after a car accident is the best way to receive proper treatment of your spine.

After a car accident, not all injuries are apparent immediately. Most of the time it takes people a day or two to feel the effects of the car accident.  The delayed onset of pain is because after a car accident the human body produces hormones called endorphins that will instantly act as painkillers. This is why people don't feel pain immediately after a car crash. However it is extremely important to have a complete car accident evaluation performed by a chiropractor to make sure the spine is aligned correct.

If the effects of auto accident injuries go untreated, they can induce long-term back and neck pain. It is important to get your spine checked after a car accident so you can have a better understanding of the type of treatment you will need.  Chiropractic care is essential to maintaining the health of a spine that has been through trauma. A chiropractor can relieve your pain, adjust and realign your spine, and offer advice for at-home exercises, nutrition, and additional wellness techniques.

Is your computer killing you? The short answer is YES! People who spend a lot of time staring at computer monitors tend to have more health complications, and shorter life-spans, compared to people who don't. According to a US National Library of Medicine medical study, heavy computer users tend to have a more protruded head than the control group (Published online 2012 Feb 29. doi:  [10.5535/arm.2012.36.1.98]).

Chiropractic And Sports Injuries

What Are Sports Injuries And How Do They Occur?
Sports injuries can either be chronic or acute. Chronic sports injuries usually occur from repetitive motion while acute injuries usually occur from a sudden impact or movement. The most common sports injuries are; tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, back pain, neck pain, runner’s knee, shin splints and shoulder injuries. Symptoms of sports injuries include swelling, bruising, stiffness, loss of mobility, inflammation, weakness, and pain. Often with careful analysis of the spine, misalignments are found, which can lead to nerve pressure. This condition is called subluxation. Chiropractors are the only doctors who are trained to locate and correct this. If a subluxation is left uncorrected, a person can experience pain and poor health. Including a decrease in organ function and muscle weakness. It is important to recognize and treat a sports injury before it turns into something more.
