What to do after an
Auto Accident.

At The Wellness Center of Boise, we take auto accident injuries seriously. We strive to identify the true extent of your injuries and administer the proper treatments needed to get you back to a healthy state. We effectively and naturally ease your body out of pain to restore your health, instead of masking the pain with prescriptions or over-the-counter medication.  Whiplash, brain fog, headaches, neck pain and trouble sleeping are the most common symptoms, the root cause of these issues is difficult to detect without the expertise of a chiropractor trained in analyzing spinal X-rays.  Please don’t gamble with your health when it comes to an auto accident.

After An Accident

After any accident, it’s advisable to visit the emergency room to check for injuries like broken bones, a punctured lung, or internal bleeding. However, once the emergency physician has done his/her job and identified no immediate threat to your life, they are likely to send you on your way with pain or anti-inflammatory medication to ease the pain.

Seek Treatment Immediately

It is important to recognize that by limiting your treatment to this one stop the underlying effects of the accident may not be identified.  Soft tissue, muscles, ligaments, discs, nerves and blood vessels may have been damaged, and vertebrae or other bones of the body may have moved out of alignment, diminishing the ability for your body to function and move properly. 

Avoiding Pain Killers

Prescription pain killers and medication can temporarily hide the issue, allowing scar tissue and adhesions to start forming and degeneration to begin, limiting the proper motion needed for healthy nerve and blood flow. If not addressed appropriately, your injuries can be the cause of unexplained chronic pain, and of symptoms and lifelong problems.  

Relieve pain, soreness, & stiffness with our auto accident treatment

Most auto accident injuries are actually not always detectable right away and some may not experience any symptoms until up to 6 months down the road. Whiplash can manifest in the form of back pain, neck pain, headaches, vertigo, and much more. It’s important to recognize that solely taking the route of anti-inflammatory medication will not get to the root cause of the body’s ailment. The vertebrae and other bones in the body most likely have come out of alignment. Chiropractic services can restore healthy blood and nerve flow as well as a healthy range of movement in the body.
