Chiropractic Care for Auto Injuries
Studies show that accidents with speeds as slow as 6 m.p.h. can cause significant damage to the neck and spine. Untreated whiplash and soft tissue damage should not be taken lightly — though it is often easy for a person involved in a car accident to brush it aside, assuming the injuries will get better on their own. Town and Country Chiropractic advises victims of automobile accidents to schedule treatment right away. The sooner you receive a thorough exam and chiropractic adjustment, the less chance the injury will have to take hold of your body and your life. Our Columbus practice will gladly assist you and give you the immediate care you need.

What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries resulting from car accidents that we treat in our practice. The impact of a crash causes your head to jerk beyond its normal range, and damages muscles, nerves, and ligaments. This soft-tissue damage often goes undetected for weeks, months and even years. As a result, many people fail to get necessary treatment, shrugging off unattributed discomfort and pain by assuming it is due to aging, an active lifestyle, or manual labor. Some of the symptoms of whiplash or soft tissue injury include:

  • Stiff neck
  • Headaches
  • Jaw pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Numbness and tingling
  • Arm pain
  • Hand pain
  • Irritability
  • Insomnia
  • Depression
  • Fatigue

Chiropractic Care Can Help
Treating injuries sustained from a car accident (including minor fender benders) involves receiving specific adjustments, and performing an assigned set of exercises geared towards stabilizing the muscles and ligaments that support the spine. Spinal adjustments help to reposition injured and stressed bones to promote healing throughout the body. The practitioners at Town and Country Chiropractic will guide you towards the right treatment for your specific injury so you can regain your mobility and restore a sense of well-being.
