How Chiropractic Care Addresses the Most Common Car Accident Injuries

At Dr. Keren H. Gomez’s office, we are here to help you after your car accident. The fact of the matter is, car accidents cause damage to your body, whether it is immediately visible or not. Most commonly, car accident injuries typically include bruising and contusions, whiplash, neck/back injuries and stress. With studies showing there is a one in five chance of any car accident causing you to become injured, it’s important to understand what type of injury you may have and where to go for treatment. At the office of Dr. Keren H. Gomez, we are here to help when a car accident happens to you.

Whiplash

Whiplash is by far one of the most prominently known forms of injury in any car accident. While it does not always hurt right away, the strains of whiplash can later emerge and take several weeks to recover. While it rarely results in permanent injury, whiplash can be excruciating and detrimental if gone untreated. Whiplash is caused by force. During an accident, the force of the car goes one way while your body goes another. This can cause strains to your muscles and ligaments all around your neck and back. Dr. Keren H. Gomez is an expert on treating whiplash. At the office, we will check for whiplash, palpating the vertebrae in your cervical spine that may have been knocked out of alignment during the crash. We will then utilize our specialized techniques to aid in treating your whiplash and getting you back on the right path to recovery.

Neck/Back Injuries

Along with whiplash, general neck and back injuries are also among the most common car accident injuries. It’s important to not let that pain settle in and work to get it resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible. Using a variety of treatment options, we aim to restore your health as quickly as possible.

Through chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic massage, ultrasound, muscle stimulation and even traction, we work to address the most common car accident injuries and get you back to pre-accident, peak physical condition. All too often, many are quick to turn to invasive medication or surgeries. At Dr. Keren H. Gomez, our chiropractic care has proved invaluable with countless savings in time and money. Chiropractic care works to realign your body and allow for even the most stubborn car accident injuries to heal. If you have been in a car accident, don’t wait another second.
