Clermont Chiropractor Treats Car Accident Injury, Whiplash, Headaches and Migraines
A car accident injury can cause acute pain immediately following
the accident, moderate pain in the days following, or even no pain
at all for weeks or even months. In any of the scenarios, a trip to
Michaux Family Chiropractic is in order. Even accident injuries
that do not cause any pain could have caused damage that can lead
to more severe issues if people do not seek treatment, or at least
receive an examination to assess if any damage occurred. Our
Clermont chiropractor Dr. Kurtis Michaux has been effectively
treating injuries for patients in the Minneola, Davenport, Four
Corners, Windermere, and Groveland communities, with a heavy focus
on Clermont car accident injury treatments.
Whiplash, Headaches, Migraines, Back Pain and
Neck Pain Common After Car Accident Injury
Whiplash is one of the most common
injuries following a vehicle accident when the sudden jolting of
the head damages muscles, ligaments and tissues in the neck and
upper back. Although neck pain can be one of the most obvious
symptoms following such a trauma, the injury can also show up as
shoulder pain, upper and lower back pain, headaches, migraines,
fatigue, and, in rare cases, temporomandibular joint dysfunction,
or TMJ. The injury is also notorious for not showing any symptoms
for months or even years following an auto accident.
Another common car accident injury following a auto accident is a
pinched nerve, which is a nerve that becomes compressed by
surrounding bone, connective tissues, or muscles. A car accident
can cause a misalignment in the spine, or subluxation, and the
nerve can become compressed by swollen muscles and connective
tissue in the surrounding area. Trigger points, or tight knots of
muscle following an injury, can also cause pain due to nerve
compression. That pain can emanate directly from the trigger point
area or show up elsewhere in the body
Our Clermont car accident injury treatments always start with an
exam and evaluation to determine if any damage was done and what
the severity of the injury includes. Once our chiropractor assesses
the extent and nature of the damage, we can create a tailored plan
to most effectively treat the condition and help the body restore
itself to its healthy state. Chiropractic treatments for auto
accident injuries can include a spinal manipulation, or
adjustments, where our chiropractor gently guides the spine back
into its proper position.
Depending on the nature of the car accident injury, our
chiropractor can also opt to use physiotherapy as part of the
treatment plan. Our physiotherapy treatments complement specific
chiropractic adjustments, and include several procedures that help
alleviate pain and enhance healing. Mechanical traction can be
especially effective for treating a pinched nerve, while
cryotherapy and moist heat therapy can assist with soft tissue
rehabilitation. Because our Clermont chiropractor focuses on
helping the body heal itself naturally, our car accident injury
treatments do not involve medications, surgery, or other invasive
or unnatural procedures.
After our Clermont chiropractor evaluates car accident injury
sustained, we will create a healing and wellness plan that will
have the most optimal pain management benefit with the opportunity
for continued good health and well-being down the road.
