Our Chiropractor Provides Auto Accident Shoulder Injury Treatment

Auto accidents cause many different kinds of injuries, with one of the most common being whiplash. Many symptoms of whiplash can be treated with chiropractic care by reducing the inflammation surrounding the affected muscles and ligaments. Chiropractic care provides relief to these types of injuries without surgery or medication. Chiropractic of Bellevue in Bellevue, WA, can treat your car accident injuries and much more.

The focus of our chiropractic care is to find the cause of a person’s pain instead of just providing medication to temporarily relieve an injury’s symptoms. We get to the root cause of the problem in order to begin the recovery process. If we need X-rays for our diagnosis, we will refer you out to get those. Shoulder injuries from an auto accident are often caused by the seatbelt. The impact causes immense pressure to the shoulder and can affect both the joint and the soft tissue.

Extremity Adjustment

The shoulder is a flexible and complex joint that could have many different causes for pain, so it will take an examination to determine the injury and necessary treatment. An adjustment of the joint may be necessary to correct shoulder misalignment caused by pressure from the seatbelt.

Massage Therapy

A shoulder may become bruised and sore if it has been traumatized by an auto accident. Massage therapy can help to increase blood flow to the shoulder and speed up recovery. It can also help with soft tissue pain in the shoulder.

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to heat and vibrate the tissue deep below the skin. It helps reduce inflammation and stimulates healing and pain relief.
