Atlas Chiropractic of Asheville Car Accident Chiropractor Rehab

 Atlas Chiropractic of Asheville is one of the most common injuries sustained in automobile accidents. It occurs during the impact of your accident when your neck is forcibly "whipped" back and forth and side to side past its normal range of motion. Whiplash affects the muscles and tissues in your back and neck. You may feel stiffness, back pain and neck pain immediately or it could take days, weeks even months for your symptoms to appear. It is crucial to treat whiplash immediately even if you are not yet experiencing neck or back pain.

Headaches and migraines can be caused by  Atlas Chiropractic of Asheville, head injuries or other types of car accident injury. Headaches may appear when your neck is damaged because the stress or strain on your neck muscles can cause pain to radiate to your head. Head injuries or trauma to your head can cause headaches and migraines. If you are experiencing headaches after your car accident, then you should get treated as soon as possible so that your headache pain does not become permanent.

A herniated disc, which is another injury that can be sustained in an auto accident, occurs when a spinal disc bulges and puts pressure on the nerves in your back. A sudden jerk from a car accident can cause a disc herniation or possibly sciatica.

Chiropractic care is an effective treatment for car accident injury. Our Manhattan chiropractor will use manual adjustments, massage therapy and corrective exercises combined with modern equipment and techniques such as iTracTM Therapy and ART methods to treat your car accident injures. General chiropractic care and a series of manual adjustments aid with pain management for whiplash, herniated discs and headaches. By adjusting your spine and re-aligning your neck and back, we relieve the pressure from your neck, back and head. Proper alignment can also help boost the function of your immune and digestive systems by allowing your nerves to function optimally.

iTrac TM Therapy, a new innovative healing method used by our Manhattan chiropractor, is an advanced system that restores the lost cervical curve and corrects forward head posture. Headaches and migraines are often the result of forward head posture which puts strain in the neck muscles causing pain in your head. By restoring proper head posture headache and neck pain may be eliminated.
