Car accidents are an unfortunate part of life for many people. They can tend to leave you with lingering aches and pains as well as the acute problems that occur in the immediate aftermath. Chiropractic care in San Antonio is an effective way to move past the issues caused by an auto accident injury.
In a car accident, extreme forces are applied to the body. Some of the more common injuries that won't necessarily result in you getting sent to the hospital but which can still cause pain and discomfort include strains, sprains, and other soft tissue damage. Certain parts of the body are more prone to injury than others—common post-accident injuries tend to involve the upper body, but they can present anywhere:
In addition to sprains and strains, bruising and pulled or torn muscles may cause pain after an accident. Sometimes joints even get misaligned from the forces that are created in a car accident. The body naturally attempts to compensate for injuries by using other muscles or joints. However, these structures are not made to take the strain, and if this is allowed to continue, the injury may get worse rather than better.
