Being in a car accident is not only traumatic, but it also affects your life in many ways. Your first priority is to recover from the incident, and this involves reducing the long-term effects of your injuries. Traditional medical care, such as going to the emergency room and seeing your primary doctor, is important. Working with an auto injury chiropractor enhances the outcomes of your treatment. At Back to Health Chiropractic of Stratford, CT, Dr. Keumhong Yoo specializes in auto injury treatments.
Injuries After an Auto Accident
The most common auto accident injuries involve your neck and spine, and you may not have symptoms right away. Pain and stiffness typically develop as inflammation develops in the soft tissues. The discs in your spine may also slowly move out of place and put pressure on the nerves. People who have auto accidents are most likely to suffer whiplash, herniated discs, and spinal misalignments.
Chiropractic Care for Auto Injuries
Dr. Yoo is an experienced auto injury chiropractor who provides advanced chiropractic treatments to reduce your symptoms. He works with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan. Dr. Yoo may recommend chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic massage, acupuncture, laser therapy, and physiotherapy. The treatments help your body heal naturally by reducing inflammation, controlling scar tissue, and increasing blood flow.
Benefits of a Chiropractor After a Car Accident
Chiropractic care after an auto accident focuses on helping you return to a good quality of life. Benefits of chiropractic care include improved mobility, coordination, flexibility, and body mechanics. Treatments also reduce the likelihood of reinjury in the future.
Do I Still Need Surgery and Medication?
Chiropractic care after your auto accident may delay or eliminate the need for surgery. Each case is unique, and Dr. Yoo advises you about the long-term benefits of treatment. Pain medication is a significant concern for many of our patients. These substances have a high risk of addiction and abuse. Dr. Yoo works with you to reduce your pain as much as possible, and this may reduce your need for medication.
