Even a minor automobile accident can have major effects on your health. It may be weeks, months, even years before the problem shows itself. But, by then, it may be too late to prevent your greatest loss...your health.
****************************************************************************************** |
When an automobile is struck by another, thousands of pounds of force are exerted upon the neck and spine of the passengers.  The head, which is very heavy compared to the neck, is thrust toward the hitting vehicle. The muscles then stretch and react with a violent spasm in the opposite direction. The painful result is injury to the muscles, ligaments, nerves and, on occasion, broken bones.
Accident victims aren't necessarily alright if he or she doesn't have any broken bones. Painless chiropractic treatment is necessary to realign bones of the spine and restore integrity to the ligaments, muscles and joints.
When a bone is broken, it heals with bone and becomes stronger than before. Soft tissue, however, heals as scar tissue which is weaker and less resistant, never returning to its original state. If these joints are stretched or strained beyond their normal limits, they can lose their ability to return to their original length, much like a rubber band.
Dr. Darrow can provide rapid relief from symptoms of accident distress and treat the cause of the problem by employing comfortable corrective measures.

Regardless of whether you have any symptoms after an accident, you should still have an inexpensive chiropractic check-up to determine the potential for unforeseen problems.
More than half the neck injuries from automobile accidents and falls cause victims to suffer recurring headaches and other unnecessary pain. Additionally, falls, sprains, or occupational accidents very often go unnoticed, only to return in the form of chronic pain.
Remember, even though pain is one of nature's ways of telling you there is something wrong, it's possible to have a problem that hasn't reached the "pain" stage. Often the early symptoms of these injuries subside, only to return weeks, months and even years later. |
