Chiropractic Care of Other Injuries from Accidents

Click on chart to see full size image

Not only whiplash but any kind of accident may cause the vertebral subluxation complex where the vertebrae (spinal bones) are out of alignment and ‘impinging’ or irritating spinal nerves. Painkillers, muscle relaxers, sedatives or physical therapy cannot re-align the vertebrae and relieve the nervous system from pressure. What is needed is chiropractic care (spinal adjustment) to re-align the spinal column.

Vertebral Subluxation Complex

A whiplash injury is a dramatic example of subluxations produced by sudden accident or trauma. Other subluxations may be caused by poor posture, repeated stressful movements, poor sleeping positions, bad diet, fatigue, constant emotional stress or even extensive dental work.

Postscript

You can always benefit from a healthy spine no matter what disease or condition you have. It is as important for healing as good nutrition, water and sleep.

A doctor of chiropractic will remove your vertebral subluxation complex to help you better tune in to your natural innate healing ability for better physical, mental and emotional healing. That is the goal of your doctor of chiropractic to strengthen your inner healing ability.

Are you, your family and your friends carrying the vertebral subluxation complex in your spine? Only a chiropractic spinal checkup can tell.
