Chiropractors have been helping people recover from traumatic injuries for over a century. While traditional medicine focuses on treating your symptoms with prescription drugs, chiropractic care targets the underlying cause of those symptoms. As such, it's a more natural way to achieve relief from pain and inflammation following an auto accident, which is why you should come to Heuser Chiropractic in Yuma, AZ. 

Why Choose Chiropractic Care as an Alternative? 

Chiropractic care is a holistic treatment that focuses on the body as a whole, instead of just treating your injuries. Dr. Douglas Devries, D.C. and the team here at Heuser Chiropractic Health and Accident Recovery Center can help with many symptoms after a car accident, including:

  • Neck pain
  • Headaches
  • Back pain (lower or upper)
  • Numbness in arms or legs

Chiropractic Care and Auto Accidents

After an accident, your body will be stressed. Your muscles and bones are injured, and you may experience pain throughout the body. Traditional medicine can help relieve pain and treat injuries, but chiropractors can also work with you to help heal your entire body on a more holistic level. Dr. Devries is trained to pinpoint problem areas that do not show up on an X-ray or in an MRI. These problems may be contributing to the pain you feel post-accident, so addressing them directly can make a big difference in how quickly you recover from the incident.

Chiropractic Adjustments and Long-Term Injuries 

After you've been in a car accident, your body experiences stress and shock. This can lead to inflammation and pain in your muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Chiropractic care is an effective way to reduce this pain without the use of prescription medication. When you see our team for treatment after a car accident (or any other type of accident), we will use gentle adjustments that help ease inflammation and provide relief from discomfort.

Continuing Chiropractic Care After Trauma

Chiropractic care is effective in treating all types of injuries, including those that result from car accidents. It's important to continue with chiropractic adjustments after a car accident to help prevent further injury and relieve pain.
