Residual symptoms of accident
Residual symptoms are defined as symptoms that linger despite an adequate dose and duration of an antidepressant medication. Residual symptoms are common after whiplash injuries and they can range from being a slight annoyance to a source of significant disability. Approximately 25% of all people injured in auto accidents never make a complete recovery. One recent study suggested that patients in automobile accidents at speeds as low as 20mph or less have reported of pain and injury up to 12 months post accident. Residual problems such as headaches, neck pain, back pain, extremity numbness and tingling sensations are common ongoing complaints.
Auto accidents are the most common cause of vertebral subluxation. The vertebral subluxation complex is the process of a diminished or restricted range of motion in a spinal joint. A vertebral subluxation can also be defined as a spinal abnormality that interferes with your nerves. It can create lowered resistance to disease, pain, imbalance, fatigue and can also pave the way for ill health. Although not always painful, some chiropractors claim that a subluxation interferes with the proper function because the nervous system heals the body and is the controller of various bodily functions. Any accident, no matter how mild, can create nerve-damaging vertebral subluxations.
Every year thousands of automobile accidents cause severe personal injuries including whiplash and vertebral subluxation. Both of these are complex diseases that result in long lasting effects. Although the accidents are unavoidable but the physical damage and suffering can be avoided or mitigated with chiropractic care. Chiropractors help in recovering the body by enabling proper motion and/or alignment of the affected joint, and allowing the cellular transport required for healing. As the healing starts, inflammation subsides and normal nervous system function is restored.
