Knox County Chiropractor Helps Relieve Auto Accident Injury Pain Safely

By April Madrid


In addition to the damage done to your car by an accident, your body may also suffer harm. A Knox County chiropractic provider may be able to help. Chiropractors offer helpful therapy that resolves damage to joints and other structures in the body. Restoring balance to the body can help to relieve headaches as well as pain in the back, neck or shoulders.

While there is a commonly held belief that injuries occur in proportion to damage to a vehicle, this is not true. Even minor accidents can cause serious damage to passengers. It is thought that as the metal of the vehicle crumples due to the crash it absorbs energy from the striking vehicle and reduces the force on the passenger's body. Even slow speed crashes can cause injuries to passengers, including whiplash.

While many victims will experience pain from their injuries in just a few days, others may not experience pain for weeks after the crash. This is due in part to the fact that victims take a gentle approach to life after the crash. Once they return to their normal routine, they find they are experiencing pain not noticed immediately after the wreck.

The chiropractor will consider several factors as he makes a plan to provide therapy. The care does not use medication or surgery to provide relief. Once the spinal balance is restored, the victim's body is able to heal itself.

While the therapy is most beneficial in the months following the accident, victims that were involved in crashes years ago can also benefit. Restoring balance to the spine allows the body to function correctly. Correcting old injuries can often help to relieve pain and headaches.

Chiropractors use a holistic approach in providing health care for patients. The spine functions to protect the central nervous system. However, injuries due to falls, car crashes or other accidents can affect the various parts of a patient's body. By correcting the imbalances, nerves are allowed to heal and proper function returns to the body so there is less pain.
