Our Chiropractor Eases Headaches after an Accident

A chiropractor will look at the alignment of your cervical spine and provide treatment to get your spine back into alignment. Chiropractic adjustments will align your spine, while supportive therapies will ease the strain on the muscles holding your spine. Ultrasound, massage, or electric muscle stimulation can all be used to improve blood flow to the area, bringing nutrient-dense blood to your muscles that need to heal.

What to Expect from Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is progressive, meaning you want to see the chiropractor consistently for the most benefit. For example, when you have headaches after an auto accident, treatment focuses on your cervical spine and muscles. You may be taught to do it at home during sessions and exercises to build upper back and neck muscles. If any activities are painful, inform the chiropractor before resuming home exercises. You may find relief from headaches quickly once you start seeing a chiropractor for headache pain relief.
