Pain for many people can arise after an accident. Automobile accidents are the leading cause of injuries to the back and neck area. When the spinal column has been moved out of alignment, Chiropractic Services in Ft Campbell can help to return them to their original position. After an automobile accident, many people will visit an emergency room. The physician will usually prescribe some type of pain medication but will not solve the cause of the pain. A chiropractor will work hard at determining what is causing the pain. The chiropractor will order any additional tests that are needed to determine the best course of treatment.

Often the chiropractor can isolate the damaged area of the spine or neck through testing in the office. Strength will be reduced in muscles due to various nerve irritations along the spine. In order to begin loosening the muscles, the chiropractor may give someone electrical stimulation. This treatment will send a minor amount of electrical current into the soft tissue near the injury. It can reduce swelling, inflammation and pain in the area. Massage therapy can increase the blood flow to the muscles and extend deep into the muscle tissue. Massage therapy can help the body to heal faster.

Traction therapy can decrease pain and muscle spasms. This type of treatment is capable of stretching the muscles, ligaments and spinal column and will increase the oxygen flow to muscles in the area. Chiropractic Services in Ft Campbell are not painful to receive. Some patients will find instant relief from their very first treatment. The body is capable of healing on its own when it has proper blood flow to the damaged area. Ultrasound can be used on soft tissue areas that require healing and for pain relieve. The sound waves travel deep into the tissue and offer the stimulation the area needs to begin the healing process.

Medication for pain relief will not correct an injured muscle or spinal column. An individual can suffer further damage by masking the pain. A chiropractor can help an individual heal a damaged area and improve the strength that was lost through the injury.
