Non-Surgical Treatment of Whiplash and Other Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries.
Dr. Nieroda has found that most spinal pain that people are suffering from today, started as an injury from a car accident many years earlier. Even if you did not have pain at the time of the accident the injury will eventually surface as a painful problem. That is why it is important that you visit a chiropractor as soon after your accident as possible so that the injuries you feel, and more importantly the ones you donâ?(TM)t feel, can be corrected quickly.
There are more than 12 million of auto accident injuries occurring in the United States each and every year. Out of those accidents, roughly 1/6 result in whiplash injuries to the neck. Many people are unaware that the symptoms of an auto accident injury will often be delayed. These injuries, if left untreated, can lead to very serious ailments which can result in a lifetime of problems and pain.
Physical Therapy an important part of a treatment treatment plan for many conditions. Treatment plans can be used effectively in helping injured workers return to the workforce, people suffering from arthritis and people recovering from surgery.
Exercises may vary and change from patient to patient, but the goal is always the same. The aim of a rehabilitation program is to regain pre-injury levels in all aspects of physical fitness. A full rehabilitation and strengthening program is essential to ensure full recovery and in order to prevent further injury. These exercises sometimes include muscle stretching, joint mobility exercises or muscle strengthening exercises. A full rehabilitation and strengthening program is essential to ensure full recovery and in order to prevent re-injuries.
Correction of muscle imbalance problems around the shoulder, hip or knee are addressed effectively with exercise rehabilitation guided by a trained professional. Core stability muscles are also an important part of the treatment of chronic lower back pain.
Improve flexibility and balance
Flexibility is the the ability to extend or stretch without breaking. The term is usually used to describe muscles but can also be used to describe a movement involving a number of muscles. Along with physiotherapy building muscle strength and aiding in recovery, these exercises can also improve flexibility, a vital part of maintaining a sound body.
Balance sometimes can be difficult after injury, and more often than not, regardless if you are injured or not, the body sometimes works to compensate for weak areas, ultimately throwing the body off-balance in some way just from daily activities.
When someone does have an injury, the ability to balance is sometimes slowed down following an injury and needs to be re-trained. It is also important for some people who have poor generally balance reaction times and are significantly more prone to injuries.
