Common Airbag and Seatbelt Injuries

When you are in an auto accident, you are likely to sustain injuries. Some of them may be from the airbag and the seatbelt, the things designed to keep you safe. At East Lake Chiropractic and Medical Center in St Cloud, FL, a “chiropractor near me” will evaluate and recommend treatment for your auto accident injury to help you get pain relief and recover more quickly.

Whiplash

Whiplash is a common injury that results from auto accidents. The seatbelt keeps you from flying out the windshield but it also contributes to the snapping motion that happens to your neck. Whiplash can result in headaches, neck pain, and muscle pains in the upper back and shoulders. Getting the vertebrae back into alignment with chiropractic adjustment can help the body recover. Combining chiropractic adjustments with soft tissue mobilization and stretching exercises can help get you back on your feet quicker.

Shoulder Joint Injury

Seatbelts save lives but their impact on the shoulder joint and soft tissue can be quite extreme. Your joint may end up out of alignment and a shoulder joint adjustment can help to get things back into alignment. The shoulder joint is the most complex joint in the body, which means it has a lot of moving parts that can be damaged.

Misaligned Vertebrae

Depending on the impact that your vehicle receives and the speed of the vehicles, the airbag deployment may cause your vertebrae to become misaligned. A “chiropractor near me” on our team will do an examination at the first visit and come up with a plan to treat your injuries. We can then provide chiropractic manipulation to help get your neck and back realigned.
