Auto Accidents and Chiropractic Care

You get into your vehicle as you have done hundreds of times before and start off to your destination. Suddenly you find yourself involved in a motor vehicle accident. Being in an accident is really scary. Your first action should be to rule out any injuries that require medical attention such as lacerations, broken bones, internal injuries, or concussions, just to name a few. 

Most times, accidents result in soft tissue injuries that may be best served by a health professional, especially one that has the experience and tools to access your injuries and to provide an appropriate care plan. 

Many people feel and/or are told that these types of injuries only require rest or medication. Then they tell you the 5 deadliest words in the English language: Maybe It Will Go Away. You should understand that there is a dynamic that takes place in the human body during an accident which can affect your spine, nerves, muscles, tendon, and ligaments when these are stressed beyond their normal range during the biomechanical process in an auto accident.

In order to get a more in-depth understanding of this, it's best to get it assessed by your local Chiropractor. At Monmouth's best chiropractic office, Monmouth Chiropractic Clinic, serving Warren County and surrounding areas for nearly 40 years, we are your local authority for care following a car accident. Dr. Alan E. Phillips, D.C. has been serving patients that have had injuries resulting from car accidents since 1983, and Dr. Allie C. Phillips, D.C. since 2019.

Many people will experience any number of symptoms either immediately or over a period of days, weeks, or even months. Left uncared for these types of injuries can often leave you with conditions that can affect the quality of your life.

Pinched Nerves

Pinched nerves of all types can be treated without the use of surgery. We have helped many with pinched nerves causing neck pain, pinched nerves causing cervical pain, pinched nerves causing back pain, pinched nerves causing lumbar pain, and pinched nerves causing arm pain or pinched nerves causing foot pain. This is a treatment that does not require surgery. Pain throughout the body including the neck, back, arms, hips, legs and feet is often times caused by a pinched nerve. Even though some exercises and remedies you may try to reduce the pain of a pinched nerve may give temporary results, you must seek every treatment to avoid surgery. It's up to you to see if Chiropractic is a non-surgical solution for your pinched nerve or herniated disc before surgery.
