Ontario Auto Accident Injury Chiropractic Should I Go To A Chiropractor After An Auto Accident in Ontario
Surprisingly, around 5 million car accidents happen every year in the U.S. The number is enormous, including fatal or non-fatal figures. It can be due to several reasons, such as speeding and distracted driving, alcohol/drug consumption, fatigue, and reckless behavior while on the road. According to the Labor Bureau of Statistics, 13 accidents happen every minute. Automobile manufacturers work to make cars safer yearly; however, fatalities continue to rise. Driver-related mistakes are the primary cause of car accidents, but other reasons can also lead to mishaps or collisions. It can be the most challenging time if you've been unfortunate to be involved in an accident. Getting injured in an accident can take a toll on your health. Not only physically but emotionally, it can take a while to come to terms with what exactly happened there.
While being hurt in a collision, the damage to your physical and mental health and the car can cause stress in your everyday life. Honestly, this is a lot to handle once you've been part of an accident, as the incident can be harrowing and take a while for the individual to come to terms. Even if the person didn't sustain injuries during the collision, the symptoms are not immediately visible but may take a few days or weeks to reveal. Even minor collisions can lead to long-term disability if not correctly diagnosed and treated. Chiropractors are known to treat and heal such injuries. The purpose is to restore your spine's normal functioning, which allows tissues to heal and become pain-free. If you've been in a crash and there are no visible signs or symptoms of any injuries, it is still a good idea to visit a chiropractor to learn about invisible injuries.

Chiropractic Helps With Inflammation
The ligaments and muscles that make up your spine during the collision often stretch or experience tears. Sometimes, x-rays and MRI scans may not be able to determine these kinds of injuries precisely, and this tissue damage can cause inflammation. Your injuries may not be visible, but when you get up the next morning or even after a few days, you may experience discomfort or inflammation.
Scar Tissue
If a person is injured, the body responds by repairing the damaged tissue, creating scar tissue. Scar tissue in a large muscle such as the neck or back can cause a lot of trouble as we can't stretch it ourselves. The chiropractor will adjust and stretch the area, eventually breaking up your scar tissue.
Relieves Pain
Research suggests chiropractic adjustments are a safe and effective way to reduce pain. Many collision injury patients would develop more widespread pain after the crash if they didn't treat the injury properly. Chiropractic adjustments helped in reducing their pain.
Relieves Stress
When an individual undergoes troubled times, it becomes stressful. It can further lead to anxiety and depression as the trauma can be hard to recover from. Stress usually slows down your recovery time and increases the risk of developing chronic pain. Studies have found that chiropractic adjustments helped patients report lower pain scores and a better quality of life after treatment.
Restores Motion
Ligaments of the spine don't get enough nutrients or blood supply, making it further tricky when inflamed or injured. With the adjustment, the joints of your spine are mobilized, helping increase the blood flow and healing the area.
Visiting a chiropractor after a car crash is the best way to begin recovering from potential injuries, whether they have or haven't presented themselves yet. If you are not at fault, it is also beneficial to any personal injury case you may want to pursue to be under a chiropractor's care. Contact us today to be seen by our experienced chiropractor!

“Dr. Mehr is an excellent Chiropractor. He truly cares about his patients. His staff is friendly and very helpful. I had very bad chronic neck pain for years from a previous auto accident years ago. Some days my pain was unbearable. After just a couple of treatments, I felt great relief. It is now gone. I go for wellness maintenance adjustments and feel great. Dr. Mehr, thank you for helping me get my life back to normal again."

“Foothill Family Chiropractic is unique in their approach to treatment. Dr. Mehr treated my back injury over 6 years ago after an auto accident. He treated me with decompression treatment, which my previous chiropractor didn't do. And I have been pain free since then. I recently saw him for an adjustment for some tightness in my lower back.
Dr. Mehr is unique because he listens to you then educates you on your issue then explains the customized treatment to help you get better. As a dentist, my back and neck are important. Dr. Mehr has kept my back and neck in good health."

“I decided to come here after being left with some pain and discomfort from a recent car accident. I am so glad I picked this practice for my post accident chiropractic needs. I have never seen a chiropractor before and Dr. Mehr made my first experience a good one.
Dr. Mehr makes it a priority to educate his patients about the nervous system and how an adjustment can change the way the body operates and drastically changes how it feels. He legitimately cares about his patients and is always there friendly and welcoming.
I no longer wake up and go through the day with constant pain in my lower back. Once my treatment for my injury is done, I intend to keep coming back for adjustments.
Dr. Mehr is amazing and I highly recommend him for any chiropractic treatment."

“Before coming to this clinic, I'd been to over half a dozen different chiropractors and physiotherapists in the past 5 years that couldn't fix my shoulder and neck pain. I tried getting massages every week, getting a special pillow for next support yet I always had a persistent pain on the right side of my neck and shoulder. Dr. Afshin was able to pinpoint my condition right away (I had a "straight" neck from a car accident) and explained very thoroughly the treatment plan.
As soon as a few weeks after I started treatment, all my symptoms were gone and just after 2 months, I now only go for maintenance treatments every few weeks. My neck and shoulders feel great, and my posture has transformed. I started going to the gym again, which I hadn't been able to do without my pain getting much worse, and I'm feeling amazing about my results. Would definitely recommend for anyone, especially with persistent or chronic conditions."
