Chiropractic Care for Auto Accident Injuries

Many symptoms from auto accident injuries center around your spine. Whiplash, the most common cause of injury, can cause damage to your upper cervical spine, causing headaches, dizziness, vertigo, and stiffness and pain in the neck, as well as pain in the shoulders and upper back from pinched nerves in the upper spine. Injury to the lower lumbar area of the spine can cause back pain, as well as shooting pain and weakness in the lower extremities.

At Bothell Chiropractic & Wellness, we provide advanced spinal correction utilizing “state-of-the-art” chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before.

Massage Therapy for Auto Accident Injuries

There are many forms of massage that focus on relaxation and stress relief, which do indeed contribute to overall health and wellness. But in the case of an auto accident injury, therapeutic massage is an important part of recovery. All of our therapists are Licensed Massage Practitioners with a therapeutic focus in their training. They work with our doctors to co-manage each case, maximizing therapeutic benefits of tandem treatment, accelerating recovery time.

While chiropractic care encompasses the whole musculoskeletal system, focusing on the health of your bones, spine, joints, and soft tissue, massage therapy focuses solely on your muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Massage therapy can speed recovery by treating the muscle and tissue that were affected by misaligned bones and joints, or strained from the same incident that misaligned the bones and joints. In other words, while chiropractors will often do some work on soft tissues, massage therapists will not work on your spine or joints.
