Auto Accident Injury

Chiropractor in Harrison County Helps with Whiplash, Headaches, and Back Pain Resulting from Auto Accident Injury

Auto Accident Injury is common and here at Harrison County Chiropractic in Corydon, IN we treat patients for a large variety of pain causing conditions, but the patients who we help most often are those who have been involved in auto accidents. Drs. Renee Tornatore and Casey Runnels are both highly experienced Doctors of Chiropractic care who know how to help when you have been hurt in an auto accident.

When patients see our Corydon chiropractors Dr.Tornatore or Dr. Runnels they will be carefully evaluated at the first post-accident visit. In many cases an auto injury will result in whiplash, a soft tissue injury that can cause mild to extreme pain in the neck area and may cause headaches and migraines. Whiplash occurs upon impact: When the body is moved in any direction with excessive force like that which a motor vehicle impact causes, the spine often is snapped out of alignment. A misaligned spine can cause joint issues, disc issues, muscle soreness, headache, impeded neck movement, lack of mobility, pain or tingling in the hands and feet, or can even cause concentration problems.



Chiropractic Treatment for Auto Accident Injury and Solutions for Pain Management

The time following an auto accident injury is often full of confusion, followed by a great deal of pain. Auto accident injury is especially difficult to deal with for some people because it does not always present itself in the moments directly after the accident. For example, a person may be hit from behind in a car accident and will feel fine for the first day or so -- but the next morning that same person can wake up feeling extreme pain in the back, neck, shoulders, or nearly anywhere in the body.

Headaches and migraines often accompany auto accident injury. The type of injuries sustained in an auto accident or a truck accident are very often what medical professionals call "soft tissue injuries." This essentially means that there has been an injury to the soft tissue in your body (as opposed to a bone injury such as a broken leg.) This includes vertebral discs, muscles, and quite a bit of your spinal column in fact. Since your body absolutely must have a properly working spine in order to feel well or have full mobility, soft tissue injury can prove extremely serious if it is not treated.

When you are involved in any type of auto accident it is very important that you see a medical professional in the time immediately after the accident to determine if you have sustained an auto accident injury -- even if you feel well at that particular time. Some auto injuries, such as whiplash, may take a day or two to show themselves after an accident happens.

Our Corydon chiropractors are dedicated to getting post-auto injury patients past the pain that the accident has caused. Chiropractic methods for helping auto accident injury patients include hands-on spinal adjustment, heat and ice therapy, and special healing and strengthening exercises. We want our patients to know that an auto accident injury does not have to set you back for long: We will work in unison with you to get you to whole body wellness once again!
