Auto Accident Injury Chiropractor in Rochester MN

Visit Rochester MN Chiropractors, Dr. Rylen Layden and Dr. Katie Layden Immediately After an Accident to Alleviate Pain and Prevent More Serious Injury

Do you ever wonder why when a race car crashes, the car basically explodes? Race cars are designed to ‘shatter’ upon impact for a reason while our cars we drive day to day are built to withstand accidents. The reason for this is that race cars implode upon impact because they are designed to take the force from the crash, not the driver.

For us, the opposite happens. The driver (and/or people) in the car absorbs the force from the crash in Rochester MN and the car hardly gets scrapped!

Whiplash? In an Auto Accident? Get chiropractic care, because you’re no dummy!

After an accident, you may be experiencing obvious pains and symptoms like muscle stiffness or spasm, neck pain, headaches, numbness and tingling, back pain, difficulty sleeping, irritability, memory loss, fatigue, difficulty concentrating and many other complications. Or worse than that, you may be injured and feel nothing at all.

If you are not treated with chiropractic care at our Rochester clinic, your body is more likely to create scar tissue formation leading to chronic stiffness and the inability to move properly. This will lead to further long-term complications.

The goal of a chiropractic treatment regimen is to gain maximal symptomatic improvement as quickly as possible while minimizing reparative scar tissue formation in the injured soft tissues.

Following an auto accident, the first few questions and thoughts you have are:

1. How bad is my car damaged?
2. How bad is their car damaged?
3. What are the costs going to be?
4. Who was at fault and going to pay?

Usually the last thought for someone is how am I feeling and how am I going to feel?

Injuries sustained during an auto accident can become life alternating and debilitating if not treated correctly right away. Todays’ cars are designed to withstand the forces of an auto accident and have minimal damage following a crash. When a car does not ‘crumble’ something/someone has to take the force … the passengers! Think of a race car when they get into a wreck – the car explodes into pieces and the driver more often than not walks away! Those cars are designed to take the force from the crash so that the driver does not.

Chiropractic Care Works to Alleviate a Variety of Conditions Following an Accident

Auto accident injuries may show themselves as pain and stiffness are common, but other symptoms can include headaches, neck pain, numbness and tingling, arm pain, nausea, dizziness, vision changes, low back pain, sciatica, difficulty concentrating, difficulty swallowing, jaw pain, sore throat, hoarse voice, insomnia, anxiety, light headedness, ringing in the ears, shoulder pain or wrist pain.

The symptoms from an auto accident may not always be so clear and may take months or years to develop if never treated correctly.

No matter how minor the crash seems to be, getting evaluated for a spinal injury and seeking care if needed from a chiropractor as soon as possible following the accident can greatly improve your chances for a full recovery.

Auto Accident Studies

Studies done at the University Department of Orthopedic Surgery in Bristol, UK have shown “43% percent of patients will suffer long-term symptoms following ‘whiplash’ injury, for which no conventional medical treatment has proven to be effective.”

More research was done by the same department in Bristol, UK to determine the effects of chiropractic care in a group of 28 patients who had been referred with chronic ‘whiplash’ syndrome. The results were “twenty-six (93%) patients improved following chiropractic treatment.” This research clearly shows chiropractic care is the most effective choice for neck pain following a car accident or any type of whiplash injury.
