Chiropractic Care After Car Accidents: Accelerated Recovery at The Bridge Chiropractic
A collision can jolt your body in unpredictable ways, leaving you with pain, stiffness, and hidden injuries that may not surface for days or weeks. At The Bridge Chiropractic in Clairemont, our specialized auto accident chiropractic protocols are designed to identify and address the full scope of your musculoskeletal trauma—so you recover safely and regain your strength.
How Car Accidents Affect Your Spine
-
Whiplash Mechanism: Rapid forward-and-back movement strains cervical joints, ligaments, and muscles, often leading to neck pain and tension headaches.
-
Lumbar Impact: Braking or impact forces can compress lumbar discs and sprain lower‐back ligaments, triggering low back pain and sciatica.
-
Soft‐Tissue Injury: Muscles and fascia throughout the shoulders, mid-back, and hips may develop microscopic tears and chronic tightness.
-
Delayed Symptoms: Swelling and inflammation can build over hours or days—so a pain-free drive home doesn’t guarantee no injury.
How Chiropractic Adjustments Help Auto Accident Injuries
-
Spinal Realignment: Precise, hands-on adjustments restore proper joint mechanics in the neck, back, and pelvis, relieving nerve irritation.
-
Inflammation Reduction: Improved circulation brings healing nutrients to injured tissues, helping to clear swelling and bruising faster.
-
Muscle Relaxation: Gentle mobilizations and soft-tissue work ease spasms in areas like the shoulders and lower back.
-
Functional Restoration: By reestablishing normal movement patterns, we minimize the risk of compensation injuries in surrounding joints.
