Healing Whiplash

Experiencing a car accident is a tough situation on a number of levels and most of us tend to worry about our automobile before we take care of ourselves. What most of us don’t realize however is that our body in a way is like a car and sometimes it needs to be fine-tuned to perform the way it was designed. While no one ever wants to be in an auto accident, it is important to know how to proceed with injuries should you ever be involved in one. At Renew Chiropractic, Dr. Jason Jumper can discuss an individualized treatment plan depending on where the injury occurs.

One of the most common injuries to occur from a car accident is the damaging effect of whiplash. Whiplash occurs when a sudden, jarring movement of the head is sustained backward, forward, or even to the side. Whiplash destabilizes the spine and can cause blurred vision, neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, arm pain, and low back pain. Since chiropractors study the care of bones, muscles, nerves and connective tissue, they are crucial to visit after an accident occurs. Early care and treatment means fully recovering. If left untreated, auto injuries can lead to other serious health problems. Depending on the problem area, Dr. Jason Jumper may recommend spinal adjustments and manipulation, massage therapy, electric muscle stimulation or therapeutic ultrasound.

Motor Vehicle Accident Recovery

When drivers and passengers are involved in car accidents that aren’t major collisions, they too often neglect their physical wellbeing.  Usually more worried about an insurance claim or being late for work, we don’t always stop to assess what damage may have been done to our bodies.  At Renew Chiropractic, Dr. Jason Jumper and staff know some passengers feel the effects of whiplash injuries immediately following an accident.  Others may walk away from the incident not feeling injured and only experience pain later, which is why a chiropractor should always be consulted.

The sudden and unnatural movement of a body during a car accident causes whiplash.  Symptoms are typically pain and stiffness in the neck, back, and shoulders, but can include headaches and dizziness.  After a car accident, a chiropractor may perform an adjustment to realign your spine. For pain in the extremities, various techniques can be used to repair damage to hard and soft tissue.  After initial treatment, you may be assigned exercises to continue at home to help you heal faster.  

If you have been involved in a car accident of any severity, always take the time to see a chiropractor.  Renew Chiropractic is happy to work with most car insurance providers.  To learn more, visit www.renew-chiropractic.com. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Jason Jumper, call 720-493-5885.
