Your First Consultation After an Auto Accident Injury: What To Expect
- posted: Sep. 22, 2022
It's no secret that getting behind the wheel of a vehicle can be dangerous. Even if you can walk away from an auto accident, you may experience the onset of debilitating symptoms days or weeks after the incident occurred. At Kabel Chiropractic, we have provided residents of Highlands, CO, with natural and effective auto accident injury treatment for many years.
Understanding Auto Accident Injuries
Some people think that auto accidents have to involve squealing brakes and spectacular, high-speed impacts to produce serious injury, but this is not so. Even a 5-mph "bump" can transfer powerful forces to the occupants of a vehicle. The classic example is whiplash. It doesn't take much force for an impact to throw your head forward and backward at high speed. This action yanks the cervical vertebrae and their discs out of position while also damaging the soft tissues and pinching the cervical nerves. That same "bump" could also twist your thoracic spine and rib cage powerfully enough to cause musculoskeletal damage in that area. The lower back may experience alignment changes that pinch the sciatic nerve in the leg, causing a variety of unpleasant symptoms in the affected limb.
Acute pain and stiffness are only natural in the immediate wake of an auto accident, but what if you're not experiencing any issues at all? Don't assume that your body doesn't need evaluation and treatment. The shock and adrenaline responses you experienced during your accident may have put your symptoms on hold, misleading you into doing the same with your much-needed care.
Our Chiropractor Can Get You Moving Again
Our chiropractor at Kabel Chiropractic will X-ray your spine and ask you about the accident (and any symptoms) ASAP. If we see a spinal misalignment, we will administer chiropractic adjustments to re-position the joints and vertebrae gently and non-surgically. If you're also suffering from soft tissue damage or muscle spasms, we will prescribe massage therapy and corrective exercise to ease your pain and help you heal from your auto accident injury.
