In addition to the damage done to your car by an accident, your body may also suffer harm. A Knox County chiropractic provider may be able to help. Chiropractors offer helpful therapy that resolves damage to joints and other structures in the body. Restoring balance to the body can help to relieve headaches as well as pain in the back, neck or shoulders.

While there is a commonly held belief that injuries occur in proportion to damage to a vehicle, this is not true. Even minor accidents can cause serious damage to passengers. It is thought that as the metal of the vehicle crumples due to the crash it absorbs energy from the striking vehicle and reduces the force on the passenger's body. Even slow speed crashes can cause injuries to passengers, including whiplash.

While many victims will experience pain from their injuries in just a few days, others may not experience pain for weeks after the crash. This is due in part to the fact that victims take a gentle approach to life after the crash. Once they return to their normal routine, they find they are experiencing pain not noticed immediately after the wreck.

Chiropractors take many factors into consideration in developing a therapy plan. They do not use medication or surgery. The noninvasive care helps to restore balance to the body to allow natural healing to occur.

While therapy is most beneficial in the weeks and months that follow one's accident, victims of crashes that occurred years ago also benefit. By restoring balance to one's spine, the body is able to function as it should. Individuals find relief of pain and headaches caused by these accidents.

Chiropractors approach therapy from a holistic viewpoint. The spine is essential in protecting the central nervous system. Car crashes, along with other accidents may damage many parts of a patient's body. When these imbalances are corrected the nerves heal correctly, allowing the body to function correctly and the pain one experiences after the crash to subside.
