Auto Accident FAQ in Tulsa OK

Generally, shoulder harnesses do far more good than harm in preventing potentially fatal injuries. But if one shoulder is restrained and the other shoulder flies forward, it's possible for the twisting motion to contribute to spinal subluxation, nerve impingement and soft tissue strain.

Some injuries may "lurk" for weeks or months before suddenly producing symptoms. By the time you seek neck injury treatment or back injury treatment, you may have already developed internal scars called adhesions that make your condition that much more severe -- and more difficult to relieve.

Careful, precise adjustments to the cervical spine can aid in whiplash treatment by relieving the nerve impingement behind your dizziness, neck pain, headaches and other symptoms. Spinal decompression can shift a herniated lumbar disc away from your sciatic nerve, making it an effective back injury treatment.

Our auto accident chiropractor may prescribe multiple non-invasive back pain or whiplash treatment techniques to support optimal recovery. These may include massage therapy to promote soft tissue healing, ultrasound and Active Release Techniques to break up adhesions, heat therapy/cryotherapy to relieve pain and swelling and physical therapy to help you rebuild your muscle strength, balance and flexibility.
