Bottom Line:
If you can walk away after a car accident without any catastrophic injuries, you should certainly consider yourself lucky. But there is something important we want you to commit to your memory right now.

Even if you feel ok after exchanging information and speaking with the police, it is always a good idea to see a chiropractor after an accident. When your adrenaline is pumping directly after an accident, your brain may not truly register the pain signals coming from your body.

It’s only after you have some time to calm down that you find yourself suddenly living with previously unnoticed injuries and delayed pain after a car accident.

The good news? Non-drug care options, such as chiropractic, are very effective at helping people both reduce the sensations of delayed pain after a car accident and restore their functional health. If you’re looking for a car accident chiropractor in Lavaca County, know our expert team is here to help.

People with both severe and chronic pain have been shown to benefit from the care that chiropractors provide. With a proper evaluation and early treatment, you have a high likelihood of putting that delayed pain after a car accident in the rear view mirror and getting well within a matter of weeks.

Whiplash is the term used to describe the injuries that occur as a direct result of a forceful, uncontrolled, and rapid back and forth motion of the neck.

These injuries can occur during sports, slip and fall, or auto accidents. Most of us have heard of this type of injury. Most of us know whiplash pain is often associated with auto accidents.

However, what we may not know is that whiplash injuries used to be considered “no big deal.” Needless to say, times have certainly changed. Doctors now know that whiplash pain can mean lifelong pain and disability if the associated injuries are not properly cared for when they occur.

Recent research also tells us that people who suffer a neck injury during a motor vehicle accident are very likely to experience both whiplash pain and future neck pain.

Thankfully, research also indicates that chiropractic care can improve range of motion and decrease pain associated with whiplash injuries. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who treats whiplash in Hallettsville, you’ve come to the right place!

Bottom Line:
Training, preparing, and competing are all part of what makes sports so much fun.

Wait – what about rest and recovery?

The majority of motions commonly seen in many popular sports place a tremendous amount of stress on your neck and back. While our bodies are incredibly strong and resilient, rest and recovery days are necessary for athletes at all levels.

You don’t have to take an all or nothing approach when it comes to what you do on a rest or recovery day compared to a training or game day. Your needs during training and your needs during recovery depend on a wide range of factors.

Chiropractors understand this and are uniquely trained to assist athletes in recovery both before and after competition.

Bottom Line:
Not everyone spends their entire week preparing to “play on Sunday.” Our “big game” for the week is more likely to take place in a conference room or on a Zoom call than in a stadium.

Yes, most of us are probably not going to start our professional lives playing in the NFL – or the NBA, NHL, MLB, Premier League, Champions League, etc. (though you never know!).

Instead of lifting weights and working with the coach on a new play, your weekdays may be spent sitting at a desk performing mental jumping jacks for hours at a time. And we can all agree that whether we’re working out or just working, it’s no fun doing it in pain!

Now, you may be wondering why we’re comparing professional athletes to “office” professionals.

Get this.

Research has shown that all the hours we spend sitting at our desks can place more stress on our spines than working out all day long!
