If you’ve been in a car accident, many common injuries like whiplash and back pain require proper treatment. Getting care sooner than later is essential; working with knowledgeable doctors can make all the difference. There are many treatment options for injuries, so knowing what will work best for you can be challenging. Here are five injury treatment options to consider after a car accident:
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine method of using thin needles on specific points of the body to stimulate healing in tissues, muscles, and nerves. Not only can this help improve your physical health, but it can also positively impact your mental well-being. Acupuncture can help reduce pain, improve sleep, and regulate mood.
Chiropractic Care
If you’ve been in a car accident, chances are your spine is out of alignment. Chiropractic adjustments can help get it back in place. This can effectively treat whiplash, neck pain, back pain, headaches, and musculoskeletal issues.
Massage Therapy
Massage can be a helpful healing modality to aid with pain, general recovery, and injuries after a car accident. Our massage therapists help provide rehabilitative massages and focus on the soft tissues of your body to help you heal. Muscle sprains or strains are the primary injuries that may benefit from massage.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapists are skilled in assisting people with injuries; car accident injuries aren’t excluded. They evaluate your movement patterns to determine which tissues are inflamed or injured, assess your limitations, and then develop a treatment plan that fits your needs. Physical therapy doesn’t involve invasive procedures and can help restore function.
Counseling
Being in a car accident is a stressful experience that can leave you with trauma. Our therapists are trained to work with people that have been in car accidents and can help you heal. Working with a mental health professional after a car accident is a good idea.
