Find Relief Post-Accident At Your Memphis Chiropractor

Even minor car accidents can cause lasting pain that can eventually turn into significant issues the longer they go untreated, especially in the neck, shoulders, and back. Common issues we’ve seen in individuals who’ve been involved in a vehicular accident include:

• Whiplash

• Neck pain and stiffness

• Joint pain and stiffness

• Muscle spasms and soreness

• Restricted range of motion

• Numbness in extremities

Getting timely care following an accident is essential to your recovery. As your trusted chiropractic provider in Memphis, TN, Dr. Matt provides each of his patients with a thorough evaluation and a personalized treatment and recovery plan. Whether you are struggling with only one of these symptoms or multiple issues simultaneously, Dr. Matt is here to help you get back to feeling like yourself.

Post-Accident Chiropractic Treatment Options

The primary focus of treatment following a car accident is relieving pain, restoring mobility and promoting healing throughout all affected areas. Common and effective treatment options for these kinds of injuries include but are not limited to:

• Spinal adjustments—correcting misalignments can greatly reduce joint and nerve pain.

• Soft-tissue therapy—therapeutic massage can help reduce inflammation and release muscle tension that can cause lasting pain or discomfort following an accident.

• Mobilization techniques—utilizing exercises that improve joint movement and flexibility can help patients regain their normal range of motion while strengthening supporting muscles.

• Rehabilitative exercises—these exercises help improve patient stability and flexibility, reducing their risk of future injury.

Helping patients safely return to their normal day-to-day activities without any lingering pain or restricted mobility is the goal of these exercises. Dr. Matt will provide you with an exercise and treatment plan tailored to your injuries and current stage of recovery, so you can continue to make progress without risking further injury.

Chiropractic Therapy for Whiplash

Whiplash often leads to misalignments in the cervical spine, as well as muscle strain and joint inflammation, all of which cause ongoing discomfort, pain and stiffness if left untreated. Through gentle adjustments to the spine as well as targeted soft tissue therapy, Dr. Matt can help restore proper alignment, mobility and reduce pressure on irritated nerves in the neck, which will help it recover naturally. 

In addition, Dr. Matt will provide helpful therapeutic exercises and posture guidance to help support long-term recovery and prevent further injury. Recovery rates and timelines will vary from individual to individual, but if patients follow the guidelines outlined within their personalized treatment plans, they should experience significant improvement and relief from their symptoms.

How Long Does Whiplash Take To Heal With Chiropractic Care?

As stated above, recovery timelines will vary on a case-by-case basis, but generally many people begin feeling relief from their symptoms within the first two weeks of treatment. Complete recovery can range anywhere from two months to close to a year depending on the severity of the injury.
