Involved in a car accident?
If you are suffering from neck and back pain after a car accident, you may have sustained a spinal injury or a whiplash injury. Without proper care, these injuries can have a long-lasting and serious impact on your health. Thus, leaving you to experience years of an undesirable quality of life.
You don’t need to be in a major car accident to sustain damage to the musculoskeletal system. Unfortunately, many patients may feel like they don’t need care because the accident was “just a fender bender”. While in reality, those “small impacts”, as shown in many scientific studies, are enough to cause injuries to the muscles, ligaments, capsules, and discs of your spine. Now imagine what could be happening to your body in a bigger collision!
We provide chiropractic care, physiotherapy modalities, and rehabilitative exercises for patients who have sustained injuries and need care to relieve their pain. Chiropractic adjustments help patients achieve a better quality of life by treating underlying spinal injuries. These spinal adjustments relieve pressure and inflammation of the nerves and muscles while promoting the healing process of the body. The many physiotherapy modalities we provide are designed to relieve muscle tension, soreness, and inflammation of the body. While the rehabilitative exercises will help increase the body’s range of motion and help stabilize the damaged structures.
"At Spinal Rehabilitation Center, our doctors are highly experienced in rehabilitating patients injured in auto collisions. SRC has been serving patients for over 20 years, treating tens of thousands of injured patients. The well-being and individualized treatment of each one of our patients is one of the utmost priorities for our team at SRC. Our doctors empower the patient with knowledge of their condition so that patients will understand what they are suffering from and what it takes to get well again. We also understand the importance of prompt care while working with other healthcare professionals to optimize our patients’ outcome."
Some injuries will not start showing symptoms until days or even weeks after the accident. It is vital to your health to undergo a proper examination and receive the appropriate treatment as soon as possible if you are suffering from an injury. Injuries sustained in an auto accident are more likely to have a better outcome when treated in the early stages.
