Benefits of Chiropractic Care After a Car Accident

Car accidents are sudden and scary. The aftermath can leave you sore, frustrated, and confused. Rest assured that Metro Denver Accident & Injury Centers in Westminster, Lakewood, Aurora, and Centennial, are here to help you. Each office has a highly skilled and trained auto accident chiropractor and in-office staff to provide you with the highest level of care. If you've been injured in a car accident, here are three reasons to come see us.

Reduce Reliance on Medication

When you're sore, you take pain relievers. These are great at hiding the symptoms, but they don't solve the cause. Pain relievers can provide temporary relief, but if you don't get to the root of the problem, you'll be taking them over and over again. By seeing an auto accident chiropractor, you can solve the underlying issues that are causing you pain in the first place. Then, you can reduce your reliance on medications.

Reduces Inflammation

Inflammation is common after being in a car accident because the force on your body causes micro-tears in the ligaments and muscles. These can't be seen on an X-ray but are the reason you are feeling sore and stiff. A chiropractic adjustment helps to release anti-inflammatory chemicals in your body, which reduces pain and swelling and promotes healing.

Restores Mobility

Due to the pain, swelling, soreness, and stiffness, you're likely to be feeling some loss of mobility in your back and neck. This can prevent you from partaking in your normal activities. Now more than ever, you need those activities so you can feel "normal" again. With chiropractic manipulations, we can reduce the inflammation, therefore restoring your mobility so you can get back to your regular daily life and activities.
