When you are in an auto accident it can cause a lot of trauma to the body. Not all of it is visible or may be felt right away, but that doesn’t mean it won’t get worse. Dr. Paul Bryngelson at Dream Street Chiropractic in Florence, KY, will help you recover from an auto injury as quickly as possible and get back to your pain-free life.
Chiropractic adjustment
Chiropractic adjustments are one of the primary treatments that chiropractors use. Most chiropractors use several different techniques depending on the patient, their age, size, and condition. The Diversified Technique is the most widely used technique and the one that most people associate with chiropractic adjustments. It uses a high velocity low amplitude thrust that may produce a cracking sound as gas is released from the joint.
The drop table technique uses a segmented table that allows for adjustment with much less force. The PulStar or Arthrostim techniques use adjusting instruments that offer the ability to place the thrust at a very precise spot. All of them can be helpful for auto injury in Florence, KY.
Therapeutic massage
Therapeutic massage is a great complement to chiropractic adjustment. By massaging the muscles that support the spine and the other joints to release tension, chiropractors can more easily perform the adjustment. It also improves mobility and flexibility in the area of pain.
Electric muscle stimulation
Electric muscle stimulation is the use of electric current to help relax the muscles and reduce pain and spasms. Different types of electric muscle stimulation are available depending on the needs of the patient. The chiropractor will discuss your options and make suggestions about what would be the most beneficial for you.
Laser therapy
Laser therapy uses light to help with healing and reduction of inflammation and pain. The light is directed at the area where the injury is located and the cells beneath the skin are stimulated to release more energy. This accelerates healing and allows the body to heal itself. This also stimulates the production of endorphins, which help to reduce pain naturally.
Therapeutic exercise
Therapeutic exercise is a personalized exercise regimen designed to help you recover and maintain your musculoskeletal function. Targeted exercises help to strengthen the muscles and improve mobility, flexibility, and balance.
