5 Reasons to Visit a Chiropractor after an Auto Injury
- A chiropractor can help heal an auto accident injury before you even know you have one! During a traumatic event, certain hormones in your body surge as part of the flight-or-fight response. These hormones can actually mask pain, and it can take some time for these hormones to return to their resting levels. So, you could have a treatable injury and not even know it!
- Chiropractic care is drug-free and non-invasive. This drastically minimizes your risk of side effects, including (but not limited to) potentially serious issues like adverse reactions to and/or abuse of prescription pain medications.
- Chiropractic care does far more than just treat symptoms—it can address underlying causes of injury. You may have a hidden postural abnormality or muscle-length imbalance that increased your risk of injury or is delaying your healing now. A chiropractor looks at the "whole person" and not just the injured body part to maximize care and accelerate healing.
- Chiropractic treatment can help you avoid long-term complications. Many acute injuries can become chronic and recurring if they are not addressed and properly resolved. For this reason, checking in with your chiropractor in San Antonio after a car accident is much wiser than just waiting to see if the injury will "go away on its own."
- Chiropractic care is safe for the whole family! From adjustments to massage therapy, our services are all natural and effective for children, teens, adults, and seniors (in other words, anyone in your family who may drive or ride in a car!).
