If you have been involved in an auto accident, you may be suffering from symptoms of whiplash, which can include headaches, and chronic pain, most often in the neck or back. At Beyond Wellness Chiropractic Center, we understand how life altering an auto injury can be and we are here to help. Dr. Lyons is an expert in chiropractic pain management and is dedicated to minimizing and reducing the effects of soft tissue damage from auto injuries with quality chiropractic care.

When an automobile accident has occurred, there are many things to think about. But it is at this time that there are things you absolutely need to know in order to guard your physical well being. It is common to experience aches and pains following an automobile accident, which stem from the intense muscle contractions that occur during a surprise collision. Most of the time, these minor aches are remedied with rest and over the counter pain medications. Under the surface, however, there could be soft tissue damage, or some other injury, which does not present symptoms for months, or even for years, following the accident.

The significance of this delay in symptoms is that many patients who could benefit from professional care never get evaluated by a chiropractor, who specializes in the exact types of injuries that may come from an automobile accident. Consequently, insurance companies are prematurely released from any liability, and the patient is left to shoulder the financial and physical side effects of an accident that may not have been their fault.

The most common injury caused during auto accidents is whiplash. When the torso is moving in a different direction than the head, tissues in the neck can be damaged – a condition called whiplash. It is the result of one part of your body moving more quickly, or in different direction, than another. Many of the blood vessels and nerves in the body pass through the neck. If these tissues are damaged, the resulting symptoms can be complex, and often diagnosis is difficult. Additionally, muscles and connective tissue in the back, shoulders, and other parts of the body can be damaged by the force. The pain of whiplash can occur in different parts of the body. However, studies have shown that 93% of whiplash patients improve with chiropractic care!

It is always a good idea to meet with a reputable Charlotte chiropractor such as Dr. Kevin Lyons following an auto injury that involves your neck, back, spine, or even your hips. There are certain things chiropractors can help with beyond surgery or medication to assist with lingering pain or problems. This is also a good way to establish a relationship with a knowledgeable professional in the field who can recommend steps you can take based on your situation to get the best aftercare. If you are experiencing whiplash and would like to work with a chiropractor in addressing the problem, call Dr. Kevin Lyons of Beyond Wellness Chiropractic Center, P.C. and start caring for your body!
