If you've been in an accident and have already tried different medications for pain relief, you might be frustrated at how limited your options are. Have you considered a chiropractor? At Kennard Chiropractic & Physical Therapy in Severna Park, MD, we provide a variety of treatments to reduce your symptoms and help you heal fully. Before visiting us, learn how chiropractic care can be effective for auto accident injuries below:

Understanding the Effects of an Auto Accident

If you're dealing with severe internal damage such as torn or stressed muscle, your body may react in ways that lead to small stresses that will build up over time. It can be corrected by surgery or may recover naturally, but figuring out exactly what's going on with your body is best done as quickly as possible following the accident.

Not all severe issues can leave you permanently disabled. If you're mostly able-bodied and sitting at a computer or using a phone, what is your body doing right now? Are your shoulders tensed up? Is your back turned in one direction for seemingly no reason, or are your legs flexing more than you'd expect? Traumatic injuries and mental stress can lead to hyperflexion. Take a deep breath, try to relax your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and schedule a consultation with our chiropractors.

Chiropractic Care for Auto Accident Injuries

Knowing how the body reacts after an accident is key. It's important to look for a chiropractor who can provide specific treatment identifying the root cause of your pain and immobility. Over time, chiropractic adjustments will relieve your pain, restore your range of motion, and enhance your body’s natural ability to heal itself. We have been treating auto accident injuries for many years and will determine the combination of chiropractic services that will benefit you the most.
