Benefits of Post-Accident Chiropractic Treatments
Reduce Inflammation
Inflammation is a common consequence of physical injury. While some amount of inflammation is normal and indicates your body’s attempts to heal itself, too much can be harmful to your tissues and can cause pain. When a Chiropractor adjusts the spine to realign the spinal cord, your body responds by cutting back on its inflammatory cytokine production which can lower the inflammatory response in your body and reduce pain.
Minimize Pain
When you receive Chiropractic adjustments after a car accident, you can potentially minimize pain throughout your body. During spinal treatments conducted by a Chiropractor your body naturally releases pain-relieving hormones. A study conducted by the University of Spain showed that levels of oxytocin, neurotensin and cortisol in the bloodstream increased in test subjects after spinal treatment.
Restore Range of Motion
When you are injured in a car accident your neck or back can lose flexibility. Loss of flexibility can be due to misalignment of the joints in the spine, development of scars tissue and/or inflammation. A Chiropractic adjustment can restore range of motion by mobilizing your spine and returning the joints to proper alignment.
Reduce Scar Tissue
It is normal for scar tissue to develop after a car accident injury. When muscles or tendons are damaged, the body attempts to heal them by forming scar tissue can cause long-term pain and stiffness. In many cases the tissue will heal on its own and eventually function like normal tissue. However, if its causing you discomfort, a Chiropractor can use specific techniques to break the scar tissue up so the area can heal faster.
Experience Non-Invasive Treatment
Most people want to avoid surgery after a car accident if possible. However, if you wait too long to treat your injuries, surgery could end up being you only option. Chiropractic treatments are non-invasive and align the spine without surgical intervention. If you visit a chiropractor for treatment soon after your injury, you may reduce your chances of requiring surgery in the future.

Auto Accidents
If you are injured in a car accident, you should seek car accident treatment right away. Your health is of the utmost importance and you don’t want to put it in jeopardy. Here are a few reasons why you should seek immediate care:
Some Injuries Don’t Show Immediate Symptoms After an Auto Accident
Not all car accident injuries show symptoms right away. For example, if you suffered whiplash or a concussion, you may feel fine initially. However, that doesn’t mean you’re out of danger. Just because you don’t feel pain, doesn’t mean you don’t have serious injuries. These injuries will just worsen over time without treatment, resulting in more pain. A doctor will perform a physical exam and order tests to diagnose injuries that you may not notice yet. The sooner you get treated, the sooner you will recover.
You’ll Obtain Critical Evidence for Your Lawsuit
If you plan on seeking compensation for your car accident injuries, you must have sufficient evidence. Medical records are one of the most important pieces of evidence you can have. These records will include X-rays and notes from your doctor, proving that you are as injured as you say you are. Without these records, it may be very difficult to prove your injuries.
