Comprehensive Care for Auto-Related Head Injuries
Stinson Chiropractic Center likely employs various techniques and treatments to assist with concussions and other head injuries resulting from auto accidents. Here are some ways we might help:
Assessment and Diagnosis: Chiropractors at Stinson Chiropractic Center would begin by assessing the extent of the injury through a thorough examination. This might include evaluating symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, neck pain, and cognitive issues.
Chiropractic Adjustments: Depending on the nature of the injury, chiropractic adjustments can help in realigning the spine and neck. Misalignments (subluxations) can occur due to the impact of the accident, leading to headaches and other symptoms. By correcting these misalignments, chiropractic adjustments can potentially alleviate symptoms.
Soft Tissue Therapy: Auto injuries often involve soft tissue damage, such as muscle strains and ligament sprains. Stinson Chiropractic Center might use techniques like massage therapy to reduce inflammation and promote healing in the affected tissues.
Rehabilitation Exercises: To aid in recovery and prevent long-term issues, they may prescribe specific exercises and stretches. These exercises can help strengthen muscles, improve range of motion, and restore normal function to the affected areas.
Education and Lifestyle Advice: Chiropractors often provide education on posture, ergonomics, and lifestyle modifications to support recovery and prevent future injuries. This might include advice on ergonomic adjustments in the car or workplace to minimize strain on the neck and spine.
Collaboration with Other Healthcare Providers: In cases of more severe head injuries, such as concussions, Stinson Chiropractic Center may collaborate with other healthcare providers like neurologists or physical therapists to ensure comprehensive care.
Pain Management: Techniques such as electrical stimulation, ultrasound therapy, or cold laser therapy might be employed to manage pain and promote healing in injured tissues.
It's important to note that the specific approach taken by Stinson Chiropractic Center may vary based on the individual's condition and the severity of the injury. We would tailor their treatment plan to address the unique needs of each patient, aiming to promote recovery and improve overall well-being following an auto-related head injury.
