See Our Car Accident Injury Chiropractor Even if You Don't Feel Pain
You may be wondering why it is necessary to get treated by our chiropractor at The University Pain and Injury following an accident. But if you consider the most common types of injuries attained, you will begin to understand why The University Pain and Injury treatment is so crucial. Injuries to the neck and back are very commo
n, including one condition in particular called whiplash. When whiplash occurs, the neck stretches and then quickly snaps back into place. This not only hurts the neck, it can also cause damage to the vertebrae, ligaments, and spinal cord. If whiplash or any other type of injury sustained in an automobile accident gets left untreated, chronic pain and more problems down the road can occur. Our Pain and Injury chiropractor, Dr. Jason Gray, focuses on the spine and the neuromusculoskeletal system so it makes sense that he would be able to treat whiplash, along with other types of neck and back pain following an automobile accident. He also treats soft tissue injuries. Soft tissue mainly involves the ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. You will know if you have a soft tissue injury if you experience any of these symptoms:
*Muscle stiffness
*Numbness or tingling in arms or legs
*Low back pain
*Fatigue
*Muscle spasms
*Difficulty sleeping
Even if you don't feel any pain or have any of the above symptoms after an automobile accident, you should still seek treatment here at The University Pain and Injury. Just because there is no pain doesn't mean there still wasn't an injury sustained. It can sometimes takes days or even weeks for you to feel any negative side effects from an accident. Some injuries are not actually detected until months or even years after an accident. Whether you have pain or not following an auto accident, one of your first calls should be to our chiropractor here at The University Pain and Injury Center.
