There are many other factors as well that determine the severity of injuries and the effect on the bodies functions.

Of Chiropractic are highly trained in diagnosing and treating injuries sustained from car accidents.

STAGES OF TREATMENT:

FIRST STAGE:

Once the Chiropractor has conclusive findings, the initial treatment will commence. The goal for the first stage of treatment is to eliminate the patient’s pain. Reduction of the swelling and spasm with gentle methods such as chiropractic activator technique and other modalities. The goal is to expedite repair of injured tissue, ligaments and muscles as well as redistribute any build of of lactic acid, which can cause additional pain.

SECOND STAGE:

The next goal is to correct and improve the body’s mechanics in an effort to restore the body to it’s previous state prior to the accident and injuries.

This is done with additional modalities and very specific Chiropractic treatment

THIRD STAGE:

Lastly, a progressive rehabilitation protocol will be administered to increase movement and body’s range of motion, and restore strength of core and smaller muscle groups which protect the spine. Strengthening of these areas will prevent chance of future flare ups of symptoms
