Seattle Chiropractor for Whiplash Treatment

Safe, Gentle Seattle Car Accident Treatment

Were you recently in a car accident and you’re wondering what type of care is the best for you? You are not alone. There are hundreds of car accidents in Seattle every month and several types of injuries from a motor vehicle accident. One of the most successful and quickest treatment modalities is chiropractic. Chiropractors treat neck injuries, whiplash, upper and lower back injuries and soft tissue injuries. People choose chiropractic care for car accidents because chiropractic doctors specialize in detecting soft tissue injury of the spine. It is important to go see a Chiropractor immediately after your have been in an accident even if you do not feel side effects right away. Often times pain from a car accident injury does not show up for weeks. This effect could be compared to walking with a pebble in your shoe, walking one mile might be painless but after 5 miles the pebble will become painful creating pain, inflammation and interference with your daily activities. At the time of the accident our bodies produce a hormone called adrenaline. Adrenaline acts like a pain killer and therefore some injuries from an automobile accident can go undetected for weeks. If you do not get care immediately one of two problems could occur: first people who settle their case can no longer get compensated for treatment caused by injury from the accident. Second, the longer an injury goes untreated the worse and more painful the injury will become and healing will take much longer.

Studies show that injury can occur even when you are in an accident going as slow at 5 mph. Even if the vehicle does not show physical damage from the accident it does not mean that your body did not absorb the impact of the crash. Children suffer from the same types of injuries as an adult even if they do not show the same physical signs. Therefore, it is important for every individual who is involved in an automobile accident to seek chiropractor care immediately before injuries get worse and cause more pain.
