With two convenient locations in Fort Lauderdale and Plantation, FL, our experienced team of Board Certified Chiropractors and Physical Therapy Certified professionals provide therapeutic solutions tailored to your recovery, helping you regain mobility, reduce pain, and get back to living your life to the fullest.
4 Common Injuries from Auto Accidents
- Whiplash: One of the most common injuries from car accidents is whiplash, which occurs when the head and neck are suddenly jerked forward and then backward. This can lead to significant neck pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion, and persistent headaches.
- Back and Spine Injuries: Injuries to the lumbar or thoracic spine are common in collisions, often resulting in lower back pain, stiffness, and discomfort that can interfere with daily activities.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Strains or tears in muscles, ligaments, and tendons can occur during an accident, causing pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility that may require targeted treatment.
- Disc Injuries: Herniated or bulging discs, common in high-impact crashes, can compress nerves and lead to sharp back pain and radiating discomfort in the arms or legs, depending on the affected area.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Treat Auto Injuries
Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive, non-invasive approach to managing pain and supporting recovery after an auto injury. At Carpe Diem Chiropractic, we focus on addressing the root causes of your discomfort and helping your body heal naturally. Our wide range of therapies includes:
- Spinal Adjustments: Realigning the spine can relieve nerve pressure, improve mobility, and reduce pain caused by misalignments from the impact of a collision.
- Physical Therapy and Therapeutic Exercise: Customized exercise plans and physical therapy techniques strengthen muscles, improve mobility, and prevent further injury.
- Dry Needling: This technique targets muscle tension and trigger points to relieve pain and improve function.
- Spinal Decompression Therapy: Ideal for herniated discs or sciatica, this therapy reduces pressure on the spine and promotes healing.
- Whole-Body Vibration Therapy: Enhances circulation, strengthens muscles, and restores joint mobility, all of which are vital after an auto injury.
- Soft Tissue Therapies: Techniques like IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization), Active Release Technique (A.R.T.), and Massage Therapy help release muscle tightness, break down scar tissue, and restore proper function.
- Cupping Therapy: : This ancient practice increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and accelerates recovery of soft tissue injuries.
- Advanced Treatments: Shockwave Therapy, Laser Therapy, and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy promote cellular healing, reduce inflammation, and support recovery.
At Carpe Diem Chiropractic, with locations in Fort Lauderdale and Plantation, FL, we use these evidence-based techniques to help you recover quickly and safely from auto injuries, so you can get back to living pain-free.
