Auto Injury

Car accidents are a leading cause of injuries. In fact, a recent study reported that six million is the average number of car accidents that occur in the U.S. every year. At Personal Care Chiropractic & Massage, we understand that you are more likely to worry about the expense of your vehicle if an auto accident were to happen to you, but we would like to present the facts as to why your body and overall health should be a top priority.

One of the most common injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident is the damaging effect of whiplash. Whiplash occurs when a sudden, jarring movement of the head is sustained backward, forward, or even to the side. Whiplash destabilizes the spine and causes severe pain, as well as blurred vision, neck pain, headaches, and reduced range of motion in the neck. It is critical that chiropractic care is sought immediately after sustaining an injury, because whiplash can take days, weeks, or even months for these major symptoms to arise. Since chiropractors such as Dr. Nicholas Stamoulos , specialize in the care of bones, muscles, nerves, and connective tissue, it is important to schedule a consultation to keep these body parts in optimal health.

Chiropractic treatment after an auto accident is a step in the right direction in restoring the body. Depending on the severity of the case, Dr. Nicholas Stamoulos  may make necessary adjustments to align your spine and may suggest massage or other therapeutic techniques. The earlier the issue is detected, the earlier it can be treated, so don’t wait and give us a call today.

Neck Pain Treatment

Whether it’s whiplash from an accident or strain from sitting at the computer all day, cervical neck pain is one of the most common aches that Americans face today. While getting a massage might help with the pain temporarily, depending on the severity of the pain, seeing a chiropractor about getting an adjustment done to your cervical spine can help relieve some discomfort for good. Dr. Nicholas Stamoulos of East Arlington Chiropractic explains the different types of cervical pain and how a chiropractor can help ease those cramps in your neck.

There are many different types of cervical pain, but there is a couple that most chiropractors can handle. Fortunately, these two types of neck pain are the most common.

1. Mechanical Neck Pain – This type of pain is developed from the joints, muscles, tendons and the fascia. It’s the most common type of neck pain and it’s usually caused by a neck strain.
2. Cervical Disc Pain -  This happens when there is a tear in the disc and herniated through the outer part that pinches the root of the spine

While X-rays and other tests may be required to diagnose the pain, it is possible that cervical spinal manipulation can help treat the issue.

If you suffer from neck pain and think you may benefit from chiropractic care, please give us a call to discuss your treatment options.
