Why Should I see a Chiropractor after a Car Accident?

Why is it important to see a chiropractor after a car accident if a patient gets in a wreck the first two to three days is crucial to getting in to see us there is all kinds of swelling and inflammation there’s fluid in the muscles your spine has been knocked out of place depending awhile back the wreck is I will say one thing even a minor wreck or a minor impact can cause major trauma to your spine they’re not taken lightly what you do in the next several weeks will depend on a lifetime of pain or a lifetime of feeling better the reason is when you get in a wreck what happens is your spine is flipped out of joint like this as again what we call it whiplash when it gets flipped out of place it stays out of place it does not go back the muscles and ligaments have been injured and they lock up what happens is scar tissue starts to build up in those muscles and ligaments they do not get removed it doesn’t go away and quicker you get them to see us to start getting those muscles bones and ligaments back to normal functionality the quicker you can be back to 100% if you wait a week if you wait two weeks what happens is everything starts to set the bones start to stay where they work instead of in the proper position they’re in the wrong position the muscle and ligaments begin this form scar tissue and they stay there the scar tissue does not get removed so when you come see me it makes a lot more uncomfortable at that time to get adjusted although you we have several different ways we can adjust you we will try to make sure that we get you back to where you need to be as quick as possible that’s why we need them in here as fast as awesome it helps you and it helps us so I urge everyone the minute after the wreck that evening that takes day call set up an appointment don’t wait how long do you wait the more pain you’re going to be in and the longer it’s going to take you to help.
