We can help if you have been injured in a car crash.
When one automobile is struck by another, thousands of pounds of force are exerted on the neck and spine. Cars are designed to handle the stress, our bodies are not. Whiplash occurs when the head and neck are thrown or “snapped” back and forth very quickly. The painful result is injury to the ligaments, soft tissue, and discs of the neck and spine.
Whiplash also causes impingement, stretching, or irritation of the nerves and the spinal cord. Whiplash can also cause headaches, numbness, pins and needles in the face, chest, arms or hands, anxiety, neck pain, back pain, ear ringing, dizziness, hearing loss and/or blurred vision.Too many people who have been in a traumatic automobile accident do not receive specific upper cervical chiropractic care. That is the reason why over half of the accident victims never completely recover from their injuries and may live on pain killers for years to endure repeated surgery.
We specialize in the gently adjusting the upper cervical spine. There is no bending, twisting or “popping” of the neck It is quite simple for the patient. People lay on their side with their head on an immobile headpiece. The adjustment is performed so lightly that most people don’t feel a thing until they get off the table. This way of adjusting the neck is called NUCCA technique, and it works Awesome. We can take care of people with severe head trauma, spinal trauma, post surgery, and debilitating injuries.
By utilizing Trigenics and functional neurology we are able to asses and treat brain based issues associated with the trauma. This enables the body to heal damaged tissue like muscles and ligaments at a more efficient and effective mode. When proper neurologic tone is restored to the damaged spine, healing can occur faster and the results are longer lasting.
