Every year, there are millions of car wrecks throughout the world, and a substantial quantity of men and women are hurt in a car crash. Although most crashes are "minor," chronic neck and back pain are still common health problems. The good news is that chiropractic therapy is a very good way to address these kinds of injuries.
We have helped many auto injury patients in our Portland office, and Dr. Helton has been helping people with these types of problems for many years. During a auto injury, your body is exposed to powerful forces that it simply wasn't built to handle. These forces place strain and stress on your neck, shoulder, and back, and can result in injury to the ligaments that hold your spine together. A crash can produce a wide variety of pain issues.
A ligament sprain in the neck can trigger pain, swelling, and radicular pain in the arm and hand. Chiropractic Treatment works well for these types of injuries, because chiropractic focuses on restoring the healthy function and flexibility of the injured areas.
Dr. Helton, your Portland chiropractor, can assist by lessening inflammation in the damaged area and can help decrease the formation of scar tissue that can cause chronic pain and disability.
You don't have to suffer from auto injury pain. Learn more about how we can help you recover or call Dr. Helton today at (503) 771-1974.
