Spinal Injuries, Neck and Back pain

Auto collisions – big or small – can damage joints, ligaments, discs, nerves and muscles in the spine. Whiplash symptoms form a car accident often times don’t show up right away, and can cause you long term pain and symptoms if they aren’t properly evaluated and treated promptly.

If you’ve been involved in an accident, it is important to be evaluated by a Medical Doctor, Chiropractor and Physical Therapist so a team approach can be implemented and coordinated to get you out of pain, and on the road to recovery.

Physical Therapy

Develop your strength, flexibility and resilience with physical therapists trained to work with people like you who have accident injuries like yours.

When an injury strikes, aches and pains cause us to adapt, but not every adaptation is a good one. Pain in one ankle turns into favoring the entire leg, but can turn into back, neck, pelvis and shoulder pain as some muscles become overworked, resulting in chronic pain.

Physical therapy helps restore the injured area, mitigate pain and to return your injury to proper function.

Psychology and pain management

As many know, over reliance on pain medication can result in long term physical harm, including addiction and death. Even over-the-counter pain meds can cause liver damage when over used.

Often the body responds to an initial trigger, tensing up and, in an effort to control the pain, increases and generates secondary and tertiary pain. Our programs include awareness and psychology based techniques to mitigate pain.

Not all pain can be controlled by psychology, and medicines play a role in many treatment plans.
