If you have been the victim of an automobile accident, at Austin Active Life, we are here to help you get on a different road-the road to recovery.
Automobile accidents happen every day. Injuries can range from minimal to severe to even deadly. At Austin Active Life, we have several methods to get you out of pain and on your way to the life you were meant to live.
One of our many drug free methods is through chiropractic alignment. Chiropractic alignment has been used for years to help automobile accident victims recover. This technique uses safe, non-invasive adjustment hands-on manipulations of the spinal column and other parts of the body. This method helps to relieve pain and increase mobility. This is typically done by a chiropractors hands to apply pressure to the spine. Years of study teach them how to coax the vertebrae into proper alignment. Sometimes high velocity thrusts are used and a popping sound can be heard. That sound is really gas, not bones cracking! This type of care is does not hurt despite the surprising sound. Before such an adjustment, the chiropractor usually massages and stretches the muscles.
There are two types of injuries that are very common in car accidents: whip lash and herniated discs. The most common one is whiplash-the abrupt movement of your neck forward and backward that causes a misalignment of the cervical spine.
Herniated discs are caused by abrupt movement of the lower back when the pelvis region is restrained from moving naturally. This can cause a painful and numbing sensation in the legs, buttocks and lower back especially if the disc presses against the sciatic nerve.
These are just two of the most common types of car accident injuries. At Austin Active Life, we are experienced in a wide variety of car accident victims care. Whatever injuries you are suffering from due to an automobile accident, we are here to help. Please give us a call today at (512) 474-LIFE.
