LAKE WORTH, Fla., March 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Palm Beach County residents should be aware of the potential risks and hazards of driving during the holiday season. Holiday travel brings the potential for congested and slick roads that can lead to hazardous driving conditions. Unfortunately, this dramatically raises the chances of having an auto accident. Some of the injuries that can be sustained include whiplash, back injuries, neck injuries and numbness of the extremities. In the event of an auto accident, chiropractic care from Lake Worth Chiropractic & Wellness can offer effective, targeted relief for injuries sustained during the accident.
Auto accidents can cause injuries both seen and unseen. While a car accident injury can manifest immediately or in the short term, sometimes injuries are not felt immediately or even in the days to follow. This is because there aren’t any physical indications of such injuries. However, lurking beneath the surface, there can be auto accident injuries that don’t manifest for days, weeks or even months. While some injuries show immediate bruising and swelling and cause pain, others are hidden by the surge of adrenaline that's experienced upon impact during a car accident.
Car accidents can cause sprains, strains, sciatica, whiplash, herniated discs, and bulging discs. Whiplash is a severe neck sprain that can eliminate the natural curve of the neck and throw the cervical vertebrae out of alignment. It is not uncommon for a delay of pain felt from whiplash for at least 24 to 48 hours. Slipped and herniated discs are also common injuries that can follow an auto accident. The impact of an accident can displace and damage the discs of the back, which hinders their future ability to cushion and protect the vertebrae. Ruptured discs put pressure on nerves in the back, which can lead to chronic back pain and other issues.
Lake Worth Chiropractic & Wellness offers auto accident chiropractic adjustments as well as physical therapy services tailored to auto accident injuries. These treatments are extremely effective in realigning vertebrae in the back and neck. The proper spinal curvature is restored and pain and inflammation are reduced. Headaches and migraines dissipate, and clients can enjoy a better quality of life again.
Dr. Jack J. Cacic says, “In some cases, people don’t connect delayed pain with an auto accident, and don’t seek treatment. However, this can exacerbate the problem. We encourage anyone who experiences an auto accident to seek our chiropractic services as soon as possible.”
