Chiropractic care helps restore the body's natural structure to its optimal state prior to lifestyle, injury or other circumstances misaligning it. The spine is like the major highway of all the nervous systems and any blockades can be detrimental to health. Having a misaligned spine can not only cause discomfort or pain but problems with other areas of the body as well. These problems occur when there are interruptions in the normal communication of information between the brain and the body. Chiropractic care can correct that.
Back pain, neck pain and other physical ailments often originate in the spine. In order to receive a comprehensive treatment plan, an exact cause of the pain must be determined. When our patients have a spinal and posture screening done, it serves as the initial step to formulating a specific solution to the problem they are experiencing. These screenings can reveal important information regarding a person's overall heath and provide a base for an effective course of action.
Chiropractic care works with gentle manual manipulation to correct subluxations in the spine. When the vertebrae are out of alignment, it can cause pain, long-term ailments and other symptoms. Dr. Cappello will work with you to help gently move your body back into place.
One of the most common injuries from a car crash is the damaging effect of whiplash. Whiplash occurs when a sudden, jarring movements of the head, neck and back is sustained backward, forward or even to the side. Whiplash destabilizes the spine and causes severe pain as well as these other indicators:
? Blurred vision
? Neck pain
? Headaches
? Dizziness
? Shoulder pain
? Reduced ranges of motion in the neck and lower back
? Arm pain
? Neck stiffness
? Low back pain
It is important that chiropractic care is sought immediately after an automobile accident since allowing the effects of whiplash to go untreated can result in long-term pain, joint instability, muscle spasms and decreased ranges of motion. The seriousness of the physical effects of an accident is not always known or felt immediately following. It can take days, weeks or even months for major symptoms to show up, which is why chiropractic care is essential to maintaining the health of a spine that has been through a trauma.
Any body part that is jarred or thrown forward unexpectedly and beyond normal limits can sustain stretched ligaments and even tears. Those supporting the head and neck and lower back are especially vulnerable to this kind of tearing during a collision. Since chiropractors specialize in the care of bones, muscles, nerves and connective tissue, they are crucial to visit after an accident. All those major parts of the body are important to keep in optimal health and correct alignment so they can function properly and all body systems can operate seamlessly.
Early care and treatment means full healing and recovery is quickly realized. Even a car crash that is seemingly minor with limited damage to the car itself can cause serious injury to the driver and passengers. Chiropractic treatments are the right step toward restoring the body. They relieve pain, make necessary adjustments to spine alignment and may include massage and other physiotherapy techniques. Beyond treatment, advice for exercises and stretches as well as self home therapy to continue healing on your own after appointments, are just a few examples of the way the Priority Health & Wellness of Montvale team cares for the whole individual after an accident.
