A Leading Manhattan Chiropractor Helps Alleviates Pain From Auto Accidents Using Manual Adjustments

By Kurt Saniel


Significant, ongoing pain is not something a healthy person normally has to tolerate. But, if involved in an automobile crash, that can change. Numerous injuries from broken arms to misaligned vertebrae can occur. The accident victim can find relief in one of the chiropractic offices Manhattan NY has available.

You can hit another car head-on, swerve off the side of the road into a ditch or slip on icy streets in the winter. Any one of these accidents can cause a temporary or permanent disability. For example, a rear end collision can cause the injury to the neck known as whiplash.

Your body is immobilized by the seat belt but your head is not. It can be jerked forward and back in rapid succession. The injury is similar to shaken baby syndrome. Often the accident victim cannot turn his head from one side to the other or up and down. This injury may not show up immediately. Often it is hours later that it begins to hurt.

Visiting a chiropractor for help is the way to find a non-invasive and medication free solution. Questions will be asked to compile a medical history and a hands-on examination of the neck and back will be conducted. You might also need x-rays of your neck and back.

The spinal vertebrae, which are small bones in the back, may be jarred out of position due to the accident. Often this creates pressure against the sensitive spinal nerves. The pain may be excruciating. After a full assessment of your condition, your care plan will be set up. Office visits are scheduled for a series of manual adjustments to ease them back into place.

When deemed appropriate, the adjustments applied in a series of office visits, will serve to correct this misalignment, often referred to as a subluxation. Massage is sometimes added to the care plan to ease the strained muscles and other soft tissues. As progress is made the pain will be reduced. You can plan ahead to return to your normal activities of daily living.
