By Angeleah Mae Zerna


If you have been involved in an auto accident you could be facing a number of problems and might be in a great deal of pain. Thankfully, help is available from you chiropractor. In fact, with options like Long Island active release Techniques Therapy, you could be feeling much better within a short amount of time.

Auto accidents can cause several kinds of soft tissue injuries and you may not even realize you have been injured until the next day, or even several days or weeks later. For example, if you are hit from behind while sitting in a car, your upper body is thrust forward suddenly and backward in a quick whipping motion. This type of injury is referred to as whiplash.

Car accidents can result in soft tissue injuries to your shoulders, neck, and back. Right after the accident, these tissues may begin to swell. In fact, inflammation from injury is often the reason for pain and lack of mobility.

Once tissues are damaged the muscles in your neck or shoulders may over compensate and become very tight. This can make it almost impossible to turn your neck or perform simple tasks without pain. Also, whiplash injuries often affect neck nerves and this is why you could be suffering with chronic headaches or feel sick all the time.

If your back or neck is bothering you after an accident, you should seek help from your chiropractor in Long Island. You only need to call for an appointment and same day visits are possible. After a complete examination and x-rays, you can enjoy customized chiropractic care.

You may find relief through chiropractic adjustment or ART (active release therapy). ART helps your chiropractor discover what is wrong and also provides therapy for correcting the problem. Your chiropractor will be more than happy to discuss the many benefits of ART and other options you may have.
