Controlling My Back Pain Naturally

My father and mother both suffered from chronic back pain for the last two decades of their life. Despite assuming the problem came from their physically demanding careers, I ended up inheriting the same problem as I reached my 40s. I was afraid that my days of biking and hiking were over. I tried using typical pain relievers and rest to soothe my irritation for a few years, but the symptoms kept getting worse. Discovering chiropractic care was like turning on a light in a dark room. Now I get to enjoy all my favorite hobbies with less pain and a better range of motion.

3 Ways To Take Care Of Your Back Following A Car Accident

If you have been involved in a car accident, you need to make sure that you take care of your back. Back injuries after a car accident may not be obvious right away, which is why you need to be extra careful with your back following an accident. Here are three ways to take care of your back following a car accident.

#1 Go To The ER or Urgent Care

Following your car accident, make sure that you either go to the ER or the Urgent Care for medical treatment. You may not feel pain from your back immediately following an accident, it can take a while to set in. When you seek medical care right after a car accident, they can examine your back and spot any issues that you may experience, such as a herniated disc or whiplash, before you start to feel the effects of what has happened to you. Getting examined right away will help ensure that your insurance will cover the treatment your back needs following a car accident.

#2 Follow Up With Your Doctor

Next, you should follow up within the week with your doctor after a car accident. Let your doctor know if you are experiencing any pain, soreness or tenderness in your back. This information will help your doctor determine if you suffered a back injury due to your car accident, and can help further ensure that you get the medical care that you need.

#3 See Your Chiropractor

You should also make an appointment to see your chiropractor. Your chiropractor knows the exact state that your back is already in, and is the right medical professional to see right away to determine if there have been any changes to your back. Your chiropractor can take and compare previous x-rays to see if your alignment has changes or if you have any bone or disc issues in your back following the car accident that were not there before. They also have notes on your treatment that will help them determine how the accident changed your back. 

This information can be very important for your insurance company and can help ensure that your case for treatment for your back goes through following a car accident. 

You can work with your team of chiropractors to develop a long-term treatment plan to ensure that the issues from your car accident are treated right away and don't cause you to develop any serious, long term issues.
