en if you have been in only the most minor of car accidents, it can leave an impact. The collision of your car with another is unexpected and can be completely overwhelming. You are processing what has happened, then dealing with the insurance adjusters and repair shops after.

Unfortunately, sometimes our health ends up taking a back seat, even unintentionally.

Dr. Reza’s goal is to provide the chiropractic care you need to feel better fast. He offers traditional and advanced chiropractic techniques to ease patient pain with a passionate interest in getting you back to a pain-free life.

Here are the top reasons you should make sure to visit Reza Chiropractic for chiropractic care after a car accident.

1. You may not be in pain right away.

When our body experiences a trauma of any kind, its natural instinct is to protect itself by releasing adrenaline and endorphins to keep painful symptoms at bay. This means that pain can set in hours or even days later. A lack of pain at the moment does not mean that your body has escaped harm. At a minimum, you could end up sustaining an injury of your wrists, arms, legs, ribs, and collarbone. If you have a pre-existing back condition, you may aggravate the issue.

Dr. Reza can perform a proper exam and evaluation to help combat any current issues and future symptoms. He will also make sure your body is in alignment and that any long-term side effects are minimized.

2. You are most at risk for soft tissue injuries.

Whiplash is a soft tissue injury frequently associated with car accidents. Damage is caused by the sudden movement your head and neck make when your car collides with another, and the force it exerts on your body. As a result, the corresponding muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues can unnaturally stretch or tear. Soft tissue injuries can present headaches and pain throughout different parts of your body, such as your neck and lower back.

In addition to traditional chiropractic care, you may be a great candidate for the Graston Technique. The Graston Technique is a therapy that uses stainless steel instruments to mobilize the parts of the body suffering from a soft-tissue injury.

A critical note: Make sure to only receive Graston treatment from a Graston Technique certified specialist such as Dr. Ghassemi. Dr. Reza will also be able to check for any misalignments, pinched nerves, displaced discs, and other sources of discomfort.

3. It may be advantageous per your insurance.

If you have been involved in an auto accident, you generally have 14 days to file a medical claim with your insurance company under Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. However, Dr. Reza can still see you outside of that time frame. To learn more, contact us so we can help!

4. Experience non-invasive, drug-free treatment

A benefit of chiropractic care is that it is a more holistic option for treating injuries and experiencing whole-body wellness. Dr. Reza performs the therapies, treatments, and modalities you need based on your unique situation and symptoms following your accident. Treatment is non-invasive and drug-free, so we can tackle the symptoms outright, getting to the root cause of the pain you are experiencing.

Chiropractic care looks at the body as a whole system. Treatments align the body so everything can work in unison again, the way it should. This also means your range of motion is restored, and inflammation is reduced.

5. Heal Quicker And Prevent Worsening Injuries

With the help of a chiropractor, you can heal faster and prevent potentially worsening pre-existing injuries. Damaging your neck, head, and spine can end up causing chronic pain for a lifetime. This is avoidable, though, when you seek chiropractic care after a car accident.

Experience reduced pain while treatments promote healing of the affected areas injured after the car accident. It’s always better to be safer than sorry when it comes to your health. So don’t risk making an injury worst and possibly dealing with that pain for the rest of your life.

Not to mention injuries to your neck and spine, if severe enough, can cause your movement to be lost entirely. Meaning, you could become paralyzed.

6. We can book an appointment for you ASAP.

We are a patient-based office, meaning you always come first. All appointments are concierge-style with no wait times because we respect your time and know that it’s valuable. Appointments are flexible and can be made at a convenient time, including weekends and after regular business hours. You cannot predict when a car accident will occur; having a chiropractor who is available to see you during weekend hours is very advantageous to get ahead of any injuries.

The World Health Organization estimates that 35 million people suffer from non-fatal injuries related to auto accidents per year. Some reports suggest that each adult, on average, will be involved in four car accidents throughout their lifetime. You will likely experience one if you have not already.
