Why Choose Chiropractic Care After a Pedestrian Accident?
In a pedestrian accident, the force of impact can cause misalignments in your spine and joints, also known as subluxations. These misalignments can irritate nerves, leading to pain, stiffness, headaches, and decreased range of motion. While traditional medicine often focuses on medication and pain management, chiropractic care offers a natural, drug-free approach to address the underlying cause of your pain: these spinal misalignments.
Common Injuries in Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accidents cause a variety of injuries. Our chiropractic services can be helpful with the musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons) issues that usually arise as a result. Here's what to keep in mind:
Focus on Musculoskeletal Injuries: Chiropractors specialize in treating musculoskeletal problems. So, after a pedestrian accident, we address things like:
This is a common complaint after impact, especially if you fell or landed hard.
The sudden force of an accident can whip your neck back and forth, causing pain and limited movement.
Ligaments and muscles can get stretched or torn from the impact or from landing awkwardly.
Hips, knees, ankles, and shoulders are all vulnerable in a pedestrian accident.
Collaborate with Other Medical Professionals: We frequently work alongside traditional medicine for pedestrian accident injuries. A chiropractor can help manage pain and improve mobility while you recover from other medical procedures.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Chiropractic adjustments can help improve joint mobility and alleviate pain associated with whiplash, back pain, neck pain, and other car accident injuries.
Gentle adjustments can restore proper joint function, allowing you to regain your full range of motion and improve your ability to perform daily activities.
Chiropractic care may improve blood flow to injured areas, promoting faster healing and recovery.
By addressing the root cause of your pain, chiropractic care can help you manage pain without relying on medications.
Chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper alignment and improve flexibility, aiding in overall recovery and preventing future problems.
By addressing pain and improving mobility, chiropractic care can help you get back to your daily routine sooner.
Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries Treated by Chiropractors
This common injury occurs when the head is jerked forcefully back and forth, causing strain and inflammation in the neck and upper back muscles. Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapy can be highly effective in managing whiplash symptoms.
Car accidents can cause strains, sprains, and other injuries to the muscles and ligaments in the back. Chiropractic care can help restore proper spinal alignment and alleviate back pain.
Like back pain, accidents can cause injuries to the neck muscles and joints. Chiropractic adjustments can improve mobility and reduce neck pain.
Headaches are a frequent complaint after car accidents. Chiropractic care can address misalignments that may contribute to headaches.
Muscles, ligaments, and tendons can be strained or torn in a car accident. Chiropractic care, combined with manual therapy, can promote healing and reduce pain.
What to Expect During Your Chiropractic Care After a Pedestrian Accident
During your initial consultation, Dr. Amina Ahmad will discuss your accident details, current symptoms, and medical history.
Dr. Amina Ahmad starts with a physical examination - a thorough examination will help us identify signs and symptoms of ligament damage, musculoskeletal issues, and more. We will assess your range of motion, strength, stability, and look for any deformities or abnormalities.
Once we determine exactly what afflicts you and what you want to accomplish, we will not only establish a step-by-step plan, we will set goals and benchmarks for your recovery. Dr. Amina Ahmad will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific injuries and recovery goals.
Our goal is to seek and find the underlying causes of what troubles you so we can provide quick and effective relief while setting the foundation to prevent any reoccurrence in the future.
Your Chiropractic Treatment Plan
With you, we will develop an in-depth, detailed treatment plan that will outline, step-by-step, each stage of your treatment, each goal, and, importantly, what success looks like.
