When you are in an auto accident, you must ensure that your healing begins properly as quickly as possible. One of those essential steps is calling a chiropractor. Dr. Nicholas Carlisle at Atlanta Medical Institute in North Atlanta, and Atlanta Spinal Health in Jonesboro, GA, offers the therapy and treatment you need to recover from your auto injury as quickly and completely as possible. 

Cryotherapy

This treatment involves applying ice packs or specialized cold therapy devices to injured areas, slowing blood flow and numbing nerve endings to provide immediate relief. Chiropractors often use cryotherapy to help patients recover from auto injuries by reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation.  Cryotherapy is especially effective for soft tissue injuries, such as whiplash or muscle strains, which are common after car accidents.

Spinal Adjustments

The trauma of an auto accident can force the vertebrae out of alignment. This can lead to pain in the neck, shoulders, and upper back that may persist until the joints are adjusted into their healthy positions. Spinal adjustments can be done through many techniques, and which is the right one depends on the individual patient’s needs and comfort.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to warm and vibrate the tissues deep beneath the skin. It helps reduce swelling and pain. It also promotes cellular repair and increases blood circulation, allowing injured tissues to be supplied with more nutrients.

Therapeutic Laser Therapy

Laser therapy uses light to increase circulation by dilating blood vessels. It also stimulates cells to release more energy for tissue regeneration.

Electric Stimulation Therapy 

Electric stimulation therapy uses low levels of electric current to cause the soft tissues to relax. The muscles contract when they are shocked and after a while, they get tired and slacken. This relieves the tension and spasms that an auto injury can cause.
