Auto Accident treatment at Auburn Hills Chiropractic in Wichita, KS

Wichita auto accident treatment is available at our center, where we provide pain relief for Wichita and Goddard patients. Rear end auto accidents account for more than 3 million auto accidents every year. Often, auto injury victims fell fine after an auto accident, only to start experiencing pain weeks or months after the accident.

Here at Auburn Hills Chiropractic, our chiropractor has experience in auto accident treatment and diagnosis. Whiplash is the most common spinal injury associated with auto accidents. When a car is hit from behind the person’s head is flung backward into extension and then rapidly forward again in the opposite direction. Even at slow speeds the torque can be intense and the movement of the head can be so violent that it can cause concussions and break bones.

In this type of injury there is often a great deal of soft tissue damage to the muscles and tendons. The pain can vary from severe to mild in the weeks following the accident and will manifest as neck pain, back pain or headache.

However, whiplash is an insidious injury because a patient can feel much better in a few weeks only to have headache pain and extensive back problems reoccur months later. This is because a traumatic episode or accident can cause a spinal disc that is already suffering from degeneration to herniate at a later time.

Pain Relief From Our Wichita Chiropractor

Auto accident treatment by our Wichita chiropractor, Dr. Jacob Holdren, can help to heal auto accident injuries and provide lasting relief for back pain, neck pain and headache. Treatment has changed from the days when a doctor would put a patient into an immobility collar for months. Today proper diagnosis of soft tissue damage is possible using MRI. After the injury has been properly diagnosed our chiropractor will use a combination of chiropractic techniques, movement and wellness care to rehabilitate your injury. Advances in the fields of chiropractic and physical therapy have shown that in many cases the application of movement and exercises applied shortly after a surgery or an accident produces significantly better long-term results in soft tissue injuries. In the case of whiplash these increased recovery rates have been as high as 90%.

Our auto accident treatment uses a combination advanced chiropractic treatments including manipulation and spinal decompression therapy to provide pain relief. Spinal decompression is particularly useful for healing disc degeneration and herniated discs. The patient lies on a decompression table and a computer gently stretches the back in a series of intervals controlled by a computer. The pressure creates a vacuum effect that encourages the soft tissue of the disk to return to its proper position. This in turn relieves the pressure on the nerve and provides relief. Decompression therapy is often accompanied by pumping motions called “imbibitions” that further help to increase elasticity and reduce inflammation.

Our chiropractor also uses cold laser therapy, massage therapy and corrective exercises to relieve your neck pain, back pain and headache. At the same time Dr. Holdren provides nutritional counseling and lifestyle advice to speed up your recovery. Treating the entire body helps to shorten recovery times and produce better long-term results.
