Auto Accident Chiropractic in Athens
An automobile accident is one of the most traumatic things that can happen to your body. Even in a low-speed crash, tremendous force is absorbed by your body—which, unlike a car, is not designed to withstand that kind of impact. The physics of what happens involves your body moving in one direction with significant momentum that is abruptly stopped when your car hits another car or a stationary object. This can cause your head to whip forward and then back with great force, causing whiplash injuries, other types of strain/strain injuries and concussion—even if you don’t hit your head.
In many cases, it’s not the acute injury itself that causes the biggest problems. It’s the way your body compensates after an injury. When you’ve been injured, your body goes into protective mode, guarding the injured area by tightening the muscles and creating scar tissue. This limits your mobility, and your body will create compensatory patterns of movement. If these issues aren’t addressed, they can lead to a cascade of problems that may not become apparent for months or years after the accident.
Why Seek Chiropractic Care?
There is no profession that addresses spinal alignment other than chiropractic care. At Anthony Chiropractic Clinic, we evaluate your alignment after a crash (including taking X-rays and nervous system scans) and restore proper alignment and cervical curve to remove interference from your nervous system so you can heal properly and regain your quality of life.
Without chiropractic care, many people who have been hurt in a car accident experience serious symptoms such as:
- Degenerative disc disease
- Disc trauma
- Post-traumatic headaches
- Post-concussive symptoms
- Decreased range of motion
- Chronic neck and/or back pain
