Chiropractic care is a natural, holistic form of care that uses specific techniques to help the body heal. An auto injury chiropractor specializes in helping to rehabilitate damage to the soft and hard tissue of the body, as well as muscular and ligament injuries. Chicoine Chiropractic in Austin offers a variety of treatments including spinal manipulation and chiropractic adjustments, electrical muscle stimulation, massage therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, and therapeutic exercise programs. Spinal manipulations are often the first recommended treatment for back pain. Spinal manipulation includes many techniques that help realign the spine into its natural alignment. When the spine is in proper alignment, patients will experience reduced inflammation of the joints, greater flexibility, and regulation of the peripheral nervous system.
Electrical stimulation therapies include electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), interferential current therapy, and microcurrent therapy. Each therapy utilizes electrodes to stimulate the muscles or soft tissue and help reduce pain, decrease inflammation, alleviate muscle spasms, foster healing of joint injuries, and stimulate the body’s natural healing hormones. Therapeutic ultrasound uses a different technology and involves the use of small sound waves that generate heat in the joints and soft tissue to improve blood flow and decrease stiffness and pain.
A chiropractic adjustment can be an excellent form of treatment for serious automobile injuries. Dr. Nicole C. Edwards and Dr. Shelly C. Hogan are both experts who can help you recover and live a productive and active life. Please contact our office to schedule an appointment today (512) 255-1777.
