Much of the physical damage and suffering
resulting from accident and injuries could, in many cases,
be avoided or mitigated with chiropractic care. Because
trauma causes vertebral subluxation complexes in the
body, a serious condition that distorts your structure,
irritates nerves, bones, ligaments, discs and can damage
your overall health. Any accident, no matter how mild
can create nerve-damaging vertebral subluxations. Millions
of people leave emergency rooms unaware that they are
carrying around hidden spinal distortions that may cause
severe health problems at a later date.
It is for that reason that if you have
ever been in an accident or fall, no matter how minor,
you need a chiropractic spinal checkup to ensure that
your spine is free from these heal-destroying abnormalities.
Only a chiropractor is trained to analyze your spine
for the vertebral subluxation complex.
Is chiropractic care helpful in serious
accidents? Absolutely! But in such situations it is necessary
to first attend to any life-threatening emergency such
as bleeding or hemorrhage, inability to breath, internal
organ damage, broken bones, serious contusions or abrasions,
shock and the like. This is the specialty of the medical
profession – dealing with trauma.
Although the surgeon may set the broken
bones together the pieces to not automatically heal.
Torn flesh may be sewn together with stitches the skin
does not automatically mend. It is not stitches or medicines
or artificial devices that heal. It is our innate healing
ability that will turn the fragments of skin into the
seamless surface it was prior to the injury.
It is the goal of all doctors to remove
any interference to the normal expression of life and
create an environment that nurtures healing. Doctors
do not do true healing, it is performed by the wisdom
of our miraculous bodies. Healing is indeed one of nature’s
miracles. In a serious accident the communication lines
between the brain and the rest of the body can be seriously
interrupted by vertical subluxations. Too often however,
many people who have been in an accident never receive
chiropractic care and never truly recover from their
injuries. Nerve pressure within their spine continues
to cause damage and interfere with their body’s
health and healing.
Long-term damage to the spine and head
is especially common in auto accidents and most victims
of automobile injuries do not fully recover without chiropractic
care. Residual problems may linger for months, years
or decades after an accident. Neuro-musculoskeletal problems,
commonly called “pinched” nerves, muscle
spasms in the neck, shoulders, arm, wrists, hands, legs,
back, face or head, or radiating pain to other parts
of the body may linger for months, years or decades.
Other post-accident problems may include insomnia, mental
dullness, nervousness, anxiety, depression, constipation,
diarrhea, headache, hearing and vision problems or reduced
mobility.
It is not uncommon for serious health
conditions to develop after an accident due to trauma
creating sever vertebral subluxations, weakening the
body’s immune system and its ability to respond
to environmental stress.
Even after the best medical care accident
victims often continue to suffer from pain, weakness
and disability. Such victims may continue to take painkillers,
muscle relaxants, various therapies or repeated surgery
for years after the trauma. It is an unfortunate but
based on medical statistics over half of the victims
of auto accidents never fully recover under medical (including
orthopedic) care. These people need to know that in many
cases chiropractic care may totally eliminate or greatly
reduce their problems safely, quickly and without drugs
or surgery.
Scar tissue takes a long time to heal
and it may take months or years of spinal adjustments
before your spine is strong again. The earlier you begin
chiropractic care the better; the longer you wait, the
more scar tissue builds up.
Though your symptoms may disappear after
a few spinal adjustments, the spinal degeneration will
usually remain. Chiropractic has much more to offer than
reducing or eliminating pain; it may promote a healthier
body, with less stress, more energy and greater resistance
to disease. Why be content to be merely pain free when
you can also ensure better health, vitality, and strength
for your entire life?
For those of you who have already experienced
the difference that chiropractic can make if you have
been involved in a personal injury, make sure that you
continue to seek chiropractic care on a regular basis
to ensure that your level of total health is always the
best that it can be! Call this office and make an appointment
for a routine checkup today.
