How Chiropractic Care Can Help in Pittsburgh

Millions of auto accidents occur in the United States each year. A fair number of those are rear-ended collisions, which cause “whiplash”--a sudden snapping of the head back and forth. Even an accident at low speeds (6-12 mph) can result in injury.

Just as ER and urgent care staff specialize in treating life-threatening and more visible injuries like cuts and broken bones, when it comes to injuries like soft tissue trauma and whiplash, your friendly neighborhood chiropractor may be able to help.

The first 72 hours after an accident are critical. Evidence shows the longer you wait for treatment after an event as traumatic as a car crash, the longer it takes to heal and more treatments are required. If left untreated, soft-tissue injury can be permanent; when scar tissue forms in your muscles, it can make them less flexible and susceptible to re-injury in the future. Getting treatment right away can restore normal function and prevent complications later on in life.

In most cases, treatment is covered by your auto insurance and can cost you nothing out of pocket, even if you don’t have any health insurance.
