Auto Accident Chiropractic in Butler

person with neck pain after auto accidentIf you have been injured in an auto collision, please contact our office immediately; Advantage Chiropractic Centers is here to help. Our chiropractors specialize in the treatment of spinal sprain/strain injuries using chiropractic care and functional restoration.

We’ve worked with many patients who were injured in a car crash,
and we’ll do all we can to help you too.

Why Do I Need Chiropractic Care?

During a crash, the body is subjected to great forces it simply wasn’t built to handle. These forces place strain and stress on the neck, shoulder, and back, damaging the ligaments holding your spine together. Our staff is trained to diagnose and treat these types of injuries. If treated soon enough, inflammation can usually be reduced and scar tissue minimized.

In some cases, the patient suffers a loss of curvature in the cervical spine, inflammation of the spine, spinal misalignment, strained muscles and ligament damage, and often disc issues. These factors may cause neck and back pain, headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, shoulder pain, pain in the arms or hands, and reduced ability to turn the head or trunk.

Phases of Care

Phase 1 is characterized by inflammation as the body attempts to repair itself after injury. If left untreated, inflammation becomes excessive or uncontrolled and can lead to delayed healing, pain and chronic inflammation.

Objective:

  • Reduce discomfort, swelling and muscle spasm
  • Improve range of motion
  • Prevent scar tissue


Treatment:

  • Chiropractic manipulation (light force only)
  • Passive therapeutic modalities
  • Ice
  • ADL (Activities of Daily living)

Phase 2 accelerates after pain and swelling are controlled. During this time, the body continues to regenerate cells and collagen, as well as develop scar tissue.

Objective:

  • Improve range of motion
  • Support joint function
  • Promote healing (specifically soft tissue reconstruction)


Treatment:

  • Chiropractic manipulation
  • Modalities
  • Ice/Heat
  • Nutrition

The purpose of our functional restoration program is to restore joint mobility, muscular strength, endurance and conditioning, as well as cardiovascular fitness leading to restoration of the ability to perform specific functional tasks such as lifting, bending, twisting and tolerance to prolonged static positioning.

Objective:

  • Restore function
  • Muscle and ligament strengthening
  • Strengthen spinal stabilizers
  • Increase balance and coordination


Treatment:

  • Core strengthening and exercises

Wellness in the form of correcting spinal misalignment, improving ADLs, lifestyle changes, diet and exercise are the foundation of a healthy spine.
