What happens if you get in a car accident.
 Both
minor and major car accidents produce a whipping action of the neck damaging the surrounding soft tissue structures (muscles and ligaments). Abnormal joint function is common after whiplash trauma and can lead to a variety of disorders, including but not limited to the following:
- Headaches
- Muscle spasms/inflammation in the neck and/or back
- Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ) "Jaw Problems"
- Pinched Nerves
- Disc degeneration and arthritic changes
- Chronic pain syndromes
Historically, only about half of all whiplash patients could expect to achieve full recovery. Past treatments consisted of rest, immobilization and medication for pain. Unfortunately, many of these patients were told to "learn to live with the pain." The doctors at Advanced Medical take pride in helping their patients reach pre-injury status. They accomplish this by taking a systematic and individualized approach to the patient's auto injuries.
The goal of Advanced Medical is to help the victims of auto injuries attain the greatest level of recovery. Having both medical and chiropractic professionals co-treating your injuries, the doctors of Advanced Medical are able to achieve better than average results for most whiplash patients.
Treatment Plan:
-
Comprehensive history and examination including warrented x-rays, blood tests and nerve studies. These findings will be re-evaluated periodically during the course of treatment to ensure a swift and thorough recovery.
-
Physical Therapy, joint mobilization/chiropractic adjustments, massage.
-
Carefully monitored rehabilitation exercises.
