We help people of all ages in San Antonio with their car accident injuries. If you have been in a car accident or motorcycle accident, our San Antonio chiropractors can help!
Every day thousands of people are injured from auto accidents, ranging from small fender benders to very severe auto accidents, causing whiplash and dislocation as well as neck, back and shoulder misalignment.
While many difficulties of pain, swelling and loss of function caused by injuries can be eased with rest and medication, there are many that can be helped with natural solutions that restore the alignment of the body back to its natural frame to alleviate the pain and inflammation caused by an injury.
Everyone in your car involved in the collision should get checked and evaluated for spinal injury and misalignment. Symptoms may take up to 6 weeks, in some cases even 6 months, to show up following an accident. We accept Letters of Protection from most attorneys, work with local doctors and imaging centers, and will make sure you feel right at home on each visit.
Chiropractic spinal manipulation helps return the spine and neck vertebrae back into is proper order to reduce inflammation and pain cause by the effects of an auto accident as well as decrease the recovery time of the patient. Returning the vertebrae, discs and spinal column back to its original alignment reduces the strain put on other muscles, tendons and ligaments that often overcompensate for the injury.
A chiropractic adjustment helps increase proper blood circulation to the injured area, encourages range of motion and flexibility and alleviates pain to speed the recovery time that will allow a patient to return to normal activity.
Regardless of how serious your auto accident, you should seek care just in case. Imaging and other tests can tell us whether or not your body will need rehabilitation. Our car accident chiropractors can help you!
