Physical Therapy: Relief for Chronic Pain

Therapeutic exercises can provide relief for chronic pain, following a car accident. Car accidents can cause subtle injuries to the spine, which results in chronic lower back and neck pain as well as whiplash, which is a strain or sprain of the neck. Here at Ringer Chiropractic, we can help ease your chronic pain with physiotherapy.

Chronic Pain and Whiplash After an Auto Accident

Car accidents are notorious for jarring the body, and even if you are not visible hurt, you may still have aggravated your back and neck. Car accidents can lead to spinal misalignments, inflamed muscles and soft tissues, whiplash and bulging and herniated discs. All of these ailments can lead to chronic pain, severe headaches and loss of range of motion and flexibility.

Thankfully, you do not have to live with the pain. There are holistic treatments available that can reduce your pain and heal your injury.
