Whiplash

Whiplash is a term applied to injuries that occur to the neck when it is whipped in one direction and then jerked in another. Although this injury is common during auto accidents, it can also be incredibly damaging. Many whiplash injuries involve sprains—which happen when the ligaments that support, protect and restrict vertebral movement are torn—and strains—which occur when muscles and tendons in the neck are stretched beyond their normal limits. Even the discs between vertebrae in the cervical spine can be torn with whiplash, resulting in disc herniation.

The most common symptoms of whiplash include pain and stiffness in the neck and headaches at the base of the skull, and these symptoms can last for weeks or months, and even years if left untreated. Here at Bezak Chiropractic and Rehabilitation, we can provide quality chiropractic care to accelerate healing and ensure that your injury does not persist. With adjustments, therapeutic exercise and soft-tissue treatment can help control your pain and reduce muscle spasms.

If you’ve been in an automobile accident, Dr. Brian Bezak, Dr. Shaun Bezak and Dr. Kelly Krol-Bezak can ensure that your accident doesn’t cause you pain long after it’s over. Call 301-220-0496 to schedule an appointment in Greenbelt, MD.  For more information, visit www.bezakchiroandrehab.com.

Auto Accidents

Auto Accidents

When you are involved in an auto accident, physical pain can often take a back seat to the stress of dealing with insurance, taking your car to the mechanic and possibly missing work, but seeking medical attention should be a priority. Whether you feel intense pain from your accident or not, seeing a chiropractor is important for restoring your health and preventing future injury. Bezak Chriopractic and Rehabilitation specializes in helping those who have been in automobile accidents and will help you work your way back toward normalcy.

 

Auto accidents can definitely shake bodies up, and it is very likely that misalignment or an injury resulted from yours. When the body is jerked forward and backward quickly, whiplash, misalignment of the spine and tears to ligaments can occur, and if they are left untreated, these injuries can turn into chronic pain or lead to a worse injury down the line. In addition to pain, the misalignment of your spine could also lead to a loss of mobility, especially if you’re older.

 

Chiropractic can reduce pain and increase mobility after an accident. By fixing your alignment and treating the source of your injuries, your body’s total health can be restored, which can resolve accident-related issues and prevent future ones. Even if you don’t feel pain after an accident, it is still important receive treatment. If you don’t, a simple slip or fall later on could cause a great deal of pain.

Automobile Accident Injuries – Muscles & Joints

If you have ever been in an automobile accident, you know that it’s a very stressful and often traumatizing experience.  Even in minor accidents or close-calls you can result in considerable stress and pressure that affects your soft tissue.  It’s not always easy to identify the problem when it actually occurs, as soft tissue trauma isn’t always apparent and pain and discomfort may not surface until days or weeks later.  For this reason, if you have recently been in an accident, it’s important to visit for an examination.

At my practice I am able to help patients that are experiencing whiplash by treating them with a variety on non-invasive, comprehensive chiropractic treatments.
