An auto collision causes the body to endure force a great deal beyond what it’s built to endure. Sadly, this force can lead to many types of injuries to both the body’s hard and soft tissues.
While the body is able to heal, injuries can impede natural processes and leave you suffering for years – sometimes, decades. Dr. Fox and the team at Georgetown Chiropractic of Wilton, CT, share some of the many ways an auto injury chiropractor can help make sure you heal as quickly as possible.
Chiropractic Care Attacks the Root
You can place a bandage on a wound over and over again. However, the bandage isn’t what causes a wound to heal, and merely replacing it won’t be enough to fix a problem.
Often, modern medicine focuses on the bandage, meaning that it’s all about addressing your symptoms. It doesn’t address the wound – the underlying issue – itself.
Chiropractic care is very different. When an injury occurs in the neuromusculoskeletal system, chiropractic treatment is designed to locate and correct the thing that is actually causing the pain. When that issue is corrected, the pain is gone, as well.
It Provides Comprehensive Treatment
As stated earlier, an auto accident injures both the hard and the soft tissues. As such, both need to be addressed.
Chiropractors identify the underlying injury or injuries, as well as any resulting injuries. If, for example, the accident caused a disc issue, it might lead to nerve compression and muscle tension. Relief requires that all of these issues be addressed.
It Helps You Heal Naturally and Quickly
Chiropractic techniques do not rely on medication or invasive procedures. Instead, they work to restore balance, health, and alignment, which allows the body to heal naturally. Among the services Dr. Fox provides are neuromuscular re-education, which means stretching chronically tight muscles, and teaching patients how to stretch and exercise safely on their own.
