Arrowhead Clinic Explains the Benefits of Seeing a Chiropractor After a Motorcycle Accident

Atlanta, Georgia -

Arrowhead Clinic in Midtown Atlanta, GA, has released a blog post that explains the benefits of seeing a chiropractor after a motorcycle accident. Dr. James Toney, who is Arrowhead Clinic’s Midtown Atlanta chiropractor, specializes in accident rehabilitation in Atlanta, including those who were involved in a motorcycle accident. Seeing a chiropractor is important after a motorcycle accident because accident victims can suffer from a number of injuries, such as neck and back pain, muscle strains, whiplash, and spinal misalignment. A chiropractic doctor employs several techniques for pain management after a careful evaluation of the accident victim’s injuries and medical history.

Some of the physical injuries that can result due to motorcycle accidents include road rash, nerve damage, internal injuries, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries, many of which can be serious, life-changing, and sometimes fatal. Because of the lack of protection for motorcycles compared to other vehicles, motorcycle riders tend to suffer severe injuries in case of a collision.

A chiropractor can help with the following types of injuries: whiplash and neck injuries, back injuries, soft tissue injuries, nerve compression, headaches, and limited range of motion. Whiplash injuries are caused by the head being forcefully moved back and forth, usually during rear-end collisions. Whiplash injuries can result into stiffness, neck pain, headaches, and limited movement.

A chiropractor can also help address various kinds of back injuries, such as sprains, strains, and spine misalignments. Spinal adjustments and other techniques are used by a chiropractor to ease the pain and restore proper alignment. Soft tissue injuries include ligament sprains and muscle strains. The chiropractor may apply massage, manual therapies, and stretching exercises to alleviate pain and promote healing.

Chiropractors can also provide treatment for joint injuries, such as those affecting the hips shoulders, ankles, and knees. They aim to alleviate pain and restore proper joint function through manipulation and mobilization techniques. Meanwhile, nerve compression is caused by a nerve getting irritated or compressed because of inflammation or misalignment after the motorcycle accident. The chiropractor will seek to reduce the pressure on the affected nerve.

In addition, chiropractors may also offer hep with tension headaches or cervicogenic headaches, that can result from the impact of a motorcycle accident. Finally, chiropractors can also help with the reduced flexibility and limited range of motion, through a number of therapeutic techniques.

Meanwhile, in cases of severe trauma, injuries, or fractures that need surgical intervention, they recommend seeking care from medical doctors, orthopedic specialists, or other relevant healthcare providers. Chiropractors can play an important role in a comprehensive rehabilitation plan, while working with other medical professionals to help the accident victim recover from the accident injuries.

A spokesperson for Arrowhead Clinic says, “Motorcycle accident victims must seek prompt medical attention after an accident, even if they do not feel initially injured. Many injuries, such as whiplash or soft tissue damage, may not be immediately apparent and can worsen if left untreated. Seeking medical attention also helps establish a strong foundation of evidence for any potential legal claims.”
