Auto Accident Injury

Unfortunately, car accidents are all too common in today's world. Yet even a mild impact collision can do substantial damage to the human body. It is best to get checked out by medical professionals after an accident, especially by a chiropractor. Dr. Michael Wilson of Kosak Chiropractic, located in Fairfield, CA., offers auto accident injury treatment.


 


With other medical professionals, they focus on treating the symptoms not solving the problem. That’s not the case with chiropractic care. Chiropractors administer safe, drug-free treatments that focus on harmonizing your body. Your body can only work at its true potential when everything works in unity. This is especially true after you sustain injuries from an auto accident.


 


When you are hit with a sudden stop or collision, the force runs through your body and buckles at your weakest points, your joints. Your spinal joints and discs are incredibly vulnerable to subluxation or dislocation. If left untreated, pain in the lower spine can devolve into sciatic pain. This is a chronic condition where the roots of your sciatic nerve send radiating pain through your torso and legs. Whiplash can dislocate your cervical components and tear your soft tissues.


 


Dr. Wilson will examine you, using x-rays to determine where your body has been injured. He will then correct the joints and spinal components that have been put out of place. For soft tissue injuries, treatments like massage, hydrotherapy, and advanced H-Wave technology are recommended. Rehabilitated exercise can also be utilized.

What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic services and care focuses on the holistic treatment of your musculoskeletal and nervous systems. It focuses on harmonizing your body, helping you utilize your bodies natural healing mechanisms. Chiropractors also provide nutrition and lifestyle advice, including rehabilitative and therapeutic exercises. Dr. Micahel Wilson of Kosak Chiropractic, located in Fairfield, CA., offers a variety of services dedicated to improving your overall health.


 


The first thing that Dr. Wilson does is locate the cause of your pain. Treating it will then resolve all the resulting symptoms. The most common problems that Dr. Wilson works with is neck pain relief and headaches, along with auto accident, work-related, lower-back, and sports-related injuries. Dr. Wilson is especially skilled in helping you heal or manage conditions such as spinal stenosis, scoliosis, herniated discs, and degenerative disc disease.


 


But how does a chiropractor treat these conditions? And how is this different than any other medical professional? The biggest difference between chiropractors and other medical doctors is that chiropractors focus on actually solving the problem, not just treating its symptoms. Other doctors will just give you medication to treat the symptoms. Dr. Wilson uses chiropractic techniques to actually resolve your issues.


 


A common chiropractic technique that Dr. Wilson uses is spinal manipulation or a chiropractic adjustment. It is especially beneficial for those suffering from lower back pain. Dr. Wilson manually applies controlled force to your restricted joints. This restores mobility, along with alleviating pain and muscle tightness. What this accomplishes is allowing your injured tissue to begin to heal.
