Shoreview, MN Chiropractor Provides Natural Pain Relief For Auto Injuries
Online, February 13, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Across the United States in 2008, there were 37,261 auto accident fatalities. Someone is injured in an auto accident every 14 seconds, with about 2 million people sustaining permanent injury every year. Injuries in auto accidents include whiplash and soft tissue injuries. Approximately 60-90% of auto injuries, where there are no broken bones, complain of neck pain and upper back pain. The forces from the accident cause tightened muscles either from muscle tears or excessive joint and ligament movement. The biggest danger with whiplash is that the symptoms can take years to develop without proper treatment.
Dr Douglas Yost will find the location and nature of the injury and recommend natural solutions, such as chiropractic adjustments, ultrasound, kinesio taping, and proper stretching, to relief pain, discomfort, and lack of mobility. After reduction of the pain, muscle strength and balance must be regained in order to prevent the injured area from become weak and vulnerable to future injury.
"Getting treatment immediately after an auto accident is paramount and can have a major impact on not only their health, but their overall well-being," says Dr. Doug.
