Neck Pain Therapy | How We Treat Neck Pain
Dr. Joe performs a thorough physical examination of your injury or injuries, in order to determine if you require neck pain therapy. Upon determining that you require neck pain treatment, Dr. Joe performs chiropractic adjustments over a series of visits to help restore the proper position of the vertebrae, so the neck heals in proper alignment. This is why it is essential to see a chiropractor immediately following an accident, rather than waiting. Waiting to receive neck pain therapy also increases your chances of developing arthritis and even neurological problems.
The Cause of Neck Pain After a Car Accident
The onset of neck pain after a car accident can begin anywhere from 2 hours to 2 days after the accident. One of the reasons you may experience neck pain after a car accident is because the muscles in your neck respond to muscle tears or excessive movement of joints due to ligament damage, by tightening or tensing in order to support the head and limit excessive movement. This tightening or tensing of neck muscles can also lead to headaches.
If you have been in a car accident, and are experiencing neck pain do not wait to see Dr. Joe! One of the greatest dangers of whiplash is that symptoms can take months to develop, allowing more serious injuries to occur over time.
