Every year in the US there are more than 6 million auto accidents. It is not surprising that you need an auto injury chiropractor. Seeing a chiropractor after an accident is right up there with calling your insurance company. Dr. Troy Wilson of Hastings Family Chiropractic in Hastings, NE provides all the treatments you need to get back to life after an accident.
Your visit will begin with a complete exam including chiropractic, neurological, and orthopedic. Then Dr. Wilson will discuss the best options for treating your injuries.
Chiropractic adjustment
Chiropractic adjustments are one of the most common procedures used by chiropractors to help their patients. It is useful for reducing pain and also for maintaining general good health. When the spine is misaligned, messages can't get through from the brain to the other areas of the body. This misalignment is known as subluxation and correcting it will help with getting things back on the right course.
Electric stimulation
Electric stimulation is not just one therapy, we offer three different types and Dr. Wilson will discuss them with you and recommend which one will be best for your condition. He offers electric muscle stimulation, interferential current therapy and microcurrent therapy.
Hot pack/cold packs
In the immediate aftermath of most injuries, including whiplash from an auto accident, cold packs can help to decrease swelling and pain and will be used by an auto injury chiropractor. Next comes the heat that helps you relax and feel better. Both of these have a role in the healing after an auto accident.
Intersegmental traction roller bed
This specialty designed table has rollers that travel from the neck down the full length of the spine. Patients lie on the table on their back and this gentle procedure helps the vertebrae to open up and put less pressure on discs and nerves.
Acupuncture
Many of the issues that develop from whiplash are improved with the use of acupuncture. It is effective for headaches, neck and back pain and anxiety which being in an auto accident can cause. This ancient Chinese practice uses thin needles placed at strategic locations to help with the pain. We offer dry needle therapy, but acupuncture can also be done with lasers, magnets, or electric pulses.
Massage therapy
The stress of an auto accident is the perfect time to have a therapeutic massage. It can help to get the knots out of the muscles and allow you to relax. When you are relaxed, other therapies can work better.
