How a SE Portland Chiropractor Helps Car Accident Pain

There is no difference for someone who has been in a car accident between a minor case and a major accident. An injury is an injury and even a seemingly small one has the potential to become a serious, life-altering injury very quickly. A good SE Portland Chiropractor will acknowledge this and they will realize even the smallest injury can be devastating to the victim as well as their family. Their team of skilled and experienced experts can help you find relief from all of your injuries. Auto accidents can happen anytime, anywhere, to anyone. Here are some of the most common auto related injuries that are seen in most chiropractor offices:

• Catastrophic Injuries- auto accidents that have an extreme impact on the health and well-being of those involved. These accidents often result in long hospital stays, permanent injuries, and life-altering side effects.
  
• Brain Injury- in auto accidents, this type of injury is often the result of trauma and lack of safety precautions such as not wearing a seatbelt. Hitting one's head on the dashboard or window are the most common examples seen in auto accidents.
  
• Spinal Cord Injury- these injuries are often classified as impact injuries and in auto accidents they often are the result of the spine compressing due to impact or from sudden movements as what is seen with whip-lash.
  
• Chronic Pain- even after injuries seem to have healed and even in cases where there was no obvious injury or no serious harm done, there can still be long lasting pain and injury that stems from the injuries sustained.

If you or a loved one has suffered from injuries as the result of an auto accident you need to be seen by a chiropractor as soon as possible. Head, neck, and spin injuries sometimes are hard to detect at first but the damage has been done and if they are left untreated they can worsen and lead to much more severe problems down the road.
