If you’ve been in a car accident, you know the emotional pain and physical suffering that can occur. Luckily, there are many modalities available to help you heal. Many doctors recommend resting for at least 48 hours after the accident to give your body and mind time to recuperate and recover. What are some things that can help promote quick recovery after a car accident?
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a healing modality from Traditional Chinese Medicine, and acupuncture has been known to help heal all sorts of physical ailments, from lower back pain to general malaise. The acupuncturist will insert special needles into specific spots, called meridians, to help energy flow through the body and assist in healing.
Counseling
Car accidents take a large toll on mental health and physical ailments. Getting therapy can help relieve PTSD and other mental health issues related to car accidents. Our counselors are specifically trained to help people in automobile accidents.
Chiropractic Care
After a car accident, your body may be out of alignment. Receiving chiropractic adjustments will help alleviate pain. Regular chiropractic care helps your body stay aligned, and chiropractors see people of all ages. Whether you’ve been in a recent auto accident or it occurred many years ago, a chiropractor can still help get you back into proper alignment.
Massage Therapy
Not only does massage therapy feel amazing, but it also helps alleviate pain associated with tight muscles. Getting a massage helps put the body into the nervous system’s sympathetic branch, which is responsible for repairing the body and healing. A massage therapist can help work out knots causing pain throughout the body.
Physical Therapy
Some car accident injuries respond well to physical therapy, and physical therapy can often help people avoid surgery or other more invasive therapies. Using stretching, corrective exercise, manual therapy, and other modalities, physical therapists are trained to help relieve many issues. Physical therapy may be the key to healing if you have an injury that hasn’t responded well to other treatments.
