Car accidents are a common occurrence that can have a significant impact on a person's physical and mental health. Even a minor accident can cause injuries that may not be apparent at first but can manifest later. Chiropractic care can be an effective treatment for car accident injuries.

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries that people sustain in car accidents. It is caused by the sudden forward and backward movement of the head, which can strain the neck muscles and ligaments. Symptoms of whiplash can include neck pain, headaches, dizziness, and shoulder pain. Chiropractors can help treat whiplash by using spinal adjustments to help realign the spine and reduce muscle tension.

Back injuries are also common in car accidents, especially if the impact was severe. Herniated discs, fractured vertebrae, and spinal cord injuries can all occur. Chiropractic care can help alleviate the pain and promote healing by using spinal adjustments, massage therapy, and other techniques.

It is important to seek chiropractic care as soon as possible after a car accident, even if you don't feel any immediate pain or discomfort. Delaying treatment can worsen injuries and lead to long-term complications. In addition, chiropractors can document your injuries and provide evidence that can be used in insurance claims or legal proceedings.

If you have been in a car accident, it is important to prioritize your health and seek treatment. We can help you recover from your injuries and prevent future complications. With the right care and attention, you can get back to feeling like yourself again.

Chiropractors have been recommending glucosamine sulfate for osteoarthritis for as far as I can remember. I believe it should be one of the first lines of defense against this degenerative condition... Now M.D.s have been told they should also be recommending glucosamine in a dosage of 1500 mg per day in active osteoarthritis patients. Reference: http://tab.sagepub.com/content/4/3/167.abstract

Glucosamine is an amino monosaccharide and a natural constituent of glycosaminoglycans in articular cartilage. When administered exogenously, it is used for the treatment of osteoarthritis as a prescription drug or a dietary supplement. The latter use is mainly supported by its perception as a carti...
