When you’re in a car accident, it can seem there’s no end to the hassles: dealing with your insurance company, choosing an auto-body shop, getting your car fixed, finding transportation to and from work. If other family members depend on you for transportation, it’s even more stressful. You might be tempted to neglect that nagging back or neck pain, thinking it will go away or that you’ll pay attention once more pressing matters are resolved. Don’t go there!
Your health is too important to ignore pain — even what appears to be minor pain. Some injuries will only get worse if they are left untreated. Here’s how we can help address pain, discomfort and/or stiffness after a car accident:
Aligning the top of the spine. We offer EPIC, a technique that focuses on the top of the spine, an area that is vitally important to our overall health and well-being because it has an impact on the brain’s ability to communicate with the body as well as assisting with blood flow to and from the brain. We adjust the atlas bone using a gentle sound wave, with no cracking or popping. EPIC can help relieve pain and discomfort that can negatively affect your day-to-day activities.
Clearing away scar tissue in the joints. We use Joint Clearing, a technique in which we gently move the bones of the joint back and forth until a change is noticed. The results are an increase in range of motion as well as a reduction of pain. This procedure is done by hand and also involves no cracking or popping. This can provide relief for joint stiffness and discomfort.
Breaking up scar tissue. The Rapid Release is a handheld device that vibrates at a specific frequency. We use it to break up scar tissue within the muscles and stop muscle spasm.
