Spinal Decompression After an Auto Accident

Automobile accidents involving collisions can have serious adverse effects on the body, depending on where the direct impact occurs and many other factors. Frequently, minor or non-abrasive injuries that occur during auto accidents go unnoticed due to the sheer amount of adrenaline involved. There is no part of your body safe from being affected during a vehicular crash, which means that there are numerous possibilities as to what could be wrong with you after being involved in a collision.

Some of the most common issues people deal with after being involved in an auto accident are back problems. In severe cases, back injuries incurred due to vehicle collisions may require corrective surgery. However, if you only suffered minor back injuries from your accident, the good news is that there are alternative treatment options available.

How Spinal Decompression Can Help You Recover From An Auto Accident

Spinal decompression is one of the most commonly used alternative treatments for dealing with back injuries after a vehicle accident. A licensed chiropractor must perform spinal decompression as failing to do the procedure properly can have devastating consequences.

Spinal decompression is a procedure in which excess pressure is relieved from inside your spinal discs. This decompression helps to reactivate the correct flow of moisture, nutrients, and oxygen to your discs to recalibrate your body's natural processes.

The main benefit of using spinal decompression to treat pain associated with an auto accident is that it doesn't take that long to complete the process and is very effective at reducing pain.

Here are some of the primary benefits that Spinal Decompression offers to auto accident victims:

Strengthening

Increase in nutrient & blood delivery

Positive change in your spine's natural structure

Pressure reduction

Re-calibrate your nervous system

These are all some of the core benefits you can expect to experience when using spinal decompression as a way to help soothe any pain associated with your auto accident.

Listening To Your Body

One thing that we know to be true is that if you have any underlying medical conditions, being involved in an auto accident can cause them to flare up or worsen. You'll be happy to find out that aside from the therapeutic and regenerative effects spinal decompression provides to auto accident victims, it can also be used to treat a wide range of conditions that may be agitated after being involved in an accident.

Some of the conditions spinal decompression are helpful in treating include:

Degenerative disc disease

Bulging discs

Whiplash

Sciatica

Neck/Back pain

Posterior facet syndrome

If you are suffering from any of these conditions or have experienced a flare-up in these conditions due to being involved in an auto accident, contact a trusted Oviedo chiropractor who will be able to get you in their office for a physical examination.

Keep in mind; spinal decompression should only be used as an alternative treatment option. Always seek your primary care physician's advice before proceeding with any alternative therapy or pain management treatment.
