(Free-Press-Release.com) July 28, 2010 -- Car accidents Tampa

Dr. Steve Edelson (813) 831-8321, a chiropractor in south Tampa, has been helping people who suffer from injuries related to car accidents for the past 15 years. Most people think of whiplash as the most common injury associated with car accidents. However, other common injuries and symptoms include low back pain, jaw pain, rib pain and more. These collisions can be fatal. Even a five mile an hour fender bender can result in permanent injury, however little damage there is to the vehicle. The seat belt saves lifes, but often is an accomplice in injuring the person it secures. Being violently and suddenly thrown aginst the restraints causes many of the afore mentioned injuries. If you're lucky you'll get better in a few days. If the injuries are moderate or severe the various complaints will linger and may even get worse. As with any injury or illness, if you're not getting better right away you need to see your doctor. As you've suffered an injury to your head and neck, it may be a good idea to see your
doctor as soon as you can, in any case, even if you think the injury is mild.

Your chiropractor is an excellent choice for examination and evaluation of injuries due to whiplash. She will be able to determine the nature and extent of the damage to muscle, ligament, and bone. Taking an x-ray series is a very important part of the evaluation of whiplash, as even seemingly modest forces can result in fracture of one or more vertebras in your neck. Evaluation of nerve function, including both spinal nerves and cranial nerves, is critically important. Pain and/or numbness radiating into one or both arms suggests injury to a cervical nerve root and needs to be thoroughly assessed.
If no fractures have been identified, chiropractic treatment can begin immediately. Over time, chiropractic treatment helps reduce inflammation of injured muscles and ligaments. Over time, chiropractic treatment helps restore normal ranges of motion to your neck and upper back. With this natural form of healing you begin to make incremental, steady progress, recovering the ability to participate in all your daily activities with reduced levels of pain and discomfort.

Chiropractic treatment provides optimal therapy for whiplash injuries, allowing your body to recover and return to normal by utilizing its own restorative powers.3
