Auto accidents can be devastating, resulting in traumatic effects which can continue for weeks, months, or years. Your chiropractor can help you recover quickly and effectively after an auto accident so you can live your best life. Dr. Steven Wachs at Wachs Chiropractic Health Center in Chula Vista, CA, provides a full range of chiropractic services, including treatment of auto accident injuries.

How Auto Accident Injuries Affect Your Body

An auto accident can affect your body in ways that are obvious, such as broken bones and traumatized soft tissue. An auto accident can also affect your body in less obvious ways, such as damaged muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

After an auto accident, it’s important to visit your chiropractor, who will begin with a thorough physical examination and record of symptoms you are experiencing. Imaging studies may also be recommended to determine if you have any damage to body structures.

After a comprehensive examination, your chiropractor will develop an individualized treatment plan to help you heal and recover. Your treatment plan may include:

• Chiropractic manipulation to gently realign neck, shoulder, and spine areas that may have been altered from the auto accident
• Neuromuscular education to help you achieve and maintain proper body positioning and movement
• Electrical stimulation with a TENS unit to help relax tense, tight muscles
• Therapeutic massage to boost blood flow, relax tense muscles, and promote healing and wellness
• Therapeutic ultrasound treatment to boost circulation and promote healing
• Physical therapy and exercises to enhance strength, mobility, and flexibility

Your chiropractor will also provide you with dietary, lifestyle, and exercise ideas you can use to help you recover quickly and get back to enjoying life.
