Auto
accident injuries can vary widely, from minor bruises to severe trauma
affecting the spine, muscles, and joints. These injuries can result in
immediate pain and may lead to long-term issues if not properly treated. At Lubbock
Advanced Physical Medicine in Lubbock, TX, we offer various treatments to
address these issues and ensure you heal fully.
Evaluation After an Auto Accident
If you are experiencing pain due a car accident, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible. When you visit our office for the first time, we will perform a comprehensive evaluation. Our team will use modern diagnostic equipment to locate the origin of any pain and learn more about your condition.
Once the evaluation is complete, we will create a customized treatment plan. Many of the injuries sustained in auto accidents involve the spine. When someone’s spine is misaligned, it can cause pain and limited mobility. Therefore, your treatment plan will most likely include a spinal adjustment.
Treatment and Rehabilitation
Our chiropractors may begin treatment with spinal adjustments. During the adjustment, we use controlled, hands-on techniques to realign the spine and improve its function. This process helps relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and restore proper movement. These adjustments may also be combined with spinal decompression, which gently stretches the spine and helps discs retract. Additionally, we’ll provide guidance on healthy nutrition and lifestyle changes to help you succeed in your recovery.
The final phase of auto accident treatment is often rehabilitation. When injuries are severe, the impact on your muscles and nerves can necessitate an extended recovery period to achieve optimal wellness. Treatment plans for the rehabilitation phase focus on muscle function and enhancing mobility. We will address the areas requiring additional treatment to restore their normal function.
