Chiropractic Care for Pain from an Auto Accident in Scottsdale, AZ

Getting into an auto accident usually results in discomfort and pain from injuries and Dr. Daniel P. Secrest, DC is here to guide you back to optimal health. While the severity of the injuries can depend on several factors, you will want to treat the pain or discomfort shortly after an accident, to address the underlying complications or concerns associated with the accident. Here at Secrest Family Chirorpactic, we provide chiropractic care for pain relief at our practice in Scottsdale to  address and alleviate the pain as your body heals.

Potential Injuries from an Auto Accident

Auto accident care in Scottsdale depends on the injuries from the accident. An auto accident causes several different types of injuries and may require medical attention in certain situations.

Common injuries associated with a car accident include:

• Cuts and bruises

• Muscle sprains and strains

• Injuries to the bones, including broken or cracked bones

• Whiplash

• Headaches, which often relate to muscle injuries and whiplash

• General back pain

• Pain in different areas of the body, including the knees, feet or chest

The severity of injuries will usually depend on the speed of the vehicle and any other vehicle involved in the accident. Minor accidents may lead to certain injuries, including whiplash, due to the sudden reduction in forward motion. An accident at a high speed may result in more severe injuries.

Therapy With a Scottsdale Chiropractor

Dr. Daniel P. Secrest, DC, in our clinic will develop a personalized plan of action, based on your injuries and situation. At Secrest Family Chiropractic, PC, we use different tools to address pain, after diagnosing the cause of your discomfort.

Our team uses appropriate diagnostic tools to identify the possible complications that may arise during treatment. For example, we may order an x-ray to avoid complications from a cracked or broken bone. In certain situations, we may recommend medical treatments, before you start a pain management plan with our team, to avoid health concern. For example, we may recommend a medical treatment if we discover a broken bone and you need a cast.

We use different treatments for different types of pain. Generally, chiropractic care improves alignment and reduces pressure on your spine. We also use massage therapy to help with muscle-related injuries and pain. 

Pain Relief with Chiropractic Care in Scottsdale

Pain management at our clinic depends on the underlying causes of the pain. Chiropractic care for pain relief uses traditional tools like adjustments and decompression therapy to help with whiplash, neck pain and back pain after identifying the cause and location of the pain. We may also provide massage therapy treatments for muscle-related injuries to the back or neck.

Injuries to other areas of the body require treatment based on the underlying concerns resulting in pain. For example, knee pain may require massage or chiropractic adjustments to improve the function and alignment of the bones of your legs. We recommend treatments after evaluating the situation.
