How A Kent WA Chiropractor Can Help

By Lonnie Trevarthen


Auto accidents often result in back or neck pain - especially whiplash, which is caused by a sudden movement of the head. It is actually recommended that you get checked by a chiropractor right after an accident even if you are not feeling any pain or other symptoms. Chiropractic care is the best for whiplash and for lower back pain, and can even help with recovery from concussion.

A Kent chiropractor can provide spinal correction to put misplaced vertebrae (and joints) back into position, and then teach corrective exercises and stretches to speed recovery. They can also give advice on how to alter the activities you love so you can keep doing them while you recover. They do not prescribe drugs, so all of the care received is natural, non-addictive and free of side effects.

Clearly there are emotional aspects for anyone who has been in an accident. Staff are available to provide support in this respect as well. There are a variety of soothing techniques including massage therapies to help restore.

A lot of times pain may not begin for a while after an incident. This is more common than many people think. Communicating well with the chiropractor can help you to identify the areas where you need help and how best to address them.

The longer you wait, the more likely it is that damage will worsen, so you should get an appointment as soon after the accident as possible. Make sure to tell the chiropractor you were in an accident so they can make sure all the right paperwork is done to support first or third party insurance claims.

Getting back on your feet and on track with your life can seem a challenge. However with the best support the task is made much easier. For further help on this topic there are lots of health magazines available at book stores and libraries for a low cost or even free. They may include useful articles and guides.
