When you have been in a car accident, one of the first things you need to do after you call your insurance is to make an appointment to be examined by an auto injury chiropractor. Dr. Austin Simmons of Simmons Chiropractic Clinic with offices in Granger, IN, and Nappanee, IN offers the chiropractic care you need. You will get a complete evaluation to determine where any problems may be located, and a treatment plan will be personalized to your specific case.
Chiropractic adjustment
One of the first things that Dr. Simmons will do is to look for any vertebrae that may have become misaligned due to your auto accident. When the spine is out of alignment, nothing in the body works as well as it should. Whiplash can be particularly hard on the neck and upper back areas. By using non-rotational chiropractic manipulation, the misalignment can be gently corrected, and your body can function at its best. When everything is working as it should, your body has the ability to heal itself from many injuries.
Cold laser therapy
Cold laser therapy utilizes light to treat the tissues and joints. The doctor uses a handheld device to get the light deep into the tissue where it dilates blood vessels and accelerates healing at a cellular level. It also minimally raises the temperature in the tissues it is treating.
Electrical stimulation therapy
Chances are pretty good that after an auto accident you will feel a lot of stiffness and pain in your muscles. Muscle stimulation therapy uses electric current to cause the muscles to contract. We offer different types of therapy using electric current to provide pain relief and healing in joints and in soft tissues. It can also reduce swelling and inflammation.
