Auto Accident Injuries and Whiplash - How Chiropractic Care in Clayton Can Help!

Undiagnosed whiplash from an auto accident can leave you with chronic neck pain. If you are in an auto accident, it is best to get yourself checked out right away. That way, you can relieve any worries you have and get your auto accident injuries treated promptly and efficiently. At Clayton Chiropractic, we want to get your treatment started as soon as possible and get you on the road to recovery so you can return to your everyday activities pain free.

Understanding Whiplash Auto Accident Injury

When you are in a car accident, the force of the impact puts strain on your muscles, ligaments, joints, and bones. This is why many people end up with a car seat belt injury or a muscle strain injury like whiplash. Whiplash occurs when your neck snaps forward and back in the accident. 

If you feel stiff or sore after the accident, you may assume that this is natural. But if you also experience symptoms like dizziness, nausea, headaches, or blurred vision, it could be whiplash. Whiplash will not go away over time, so you must seek treatment for this injury. 

Whiplash Treatment in Clayton

Our auto accident injury treatment starts with an individual evaluation to see where you hurt. Your Clayton chiropractor will then draw up a custom treatment plan to relieve pain and reduce inflammation using chiropractic. We don't believe in a one size fits all healing program, so every patient receives the customized care plan for their pain or injury. 

Our adjustments are gentle and won't hurt. As we bring your cervical spine back into alignment, the pressure and pain you feel will reduce. We may make manual adjustments or use instruments which allow for targeted precision. If we feel it will help you, we can introduce kinesiology tape. This special tape holds muscles to support healing and prevents tight muscles from dragging your neck out of alignment.
