How a Chiropractor Can Help You After an Auto Accident

Find out how our chiropractor treats auto injuries.

Every 14 seconds, a car accident happens in the US. This is a scary statistic, but what’s even more frightening is that many people brush off their stiffness and aches and pains after an accident. To make a full recovery, you must have a doctor you can turn to. Our Tampa, FL, chiropractor Dr. George Kollias and the Sheldon Road Chiropractic & Massage Therapy team have worked with countless individuals looking for comprehensive therapy to promote the body’s healing response.

What are the most common auto accident injuries?

In our line of work, we see a lot of neck and spinal injuries following car accidents. Of course, the extent of the injury is also based on the severity of the accident. Common auto injuries that our Tampa, FL, chiropractor Dr. Kollias sees regularly and can treat include

• Whiplash
• Fractured vertebrae
• Herniated disc
• Soft tissue injuries

How can a chiropractor help?

At  Sheldon Road Chiropractic & Massage Therapy, our chiropractor Dr. Kollias and his Tampa, FL, team provide a variety of the latest techniques and treatment options to help your body heal post-accident. Whether you are dealing with neck or back problems, we can craft a custom treatment plan to facilitate natural healing processes to effectively treat stiffness, pain, limited mobility, weakness, and swelling.

Regular chiropractic manipulation can realign the spine, take pressure off nerves and improve blood flow to tissue to speed up the body’s healing process. It can restore alignment in the spine and provide a faster and more effective pain relief that doesn’t resort to invasive procedures or pain medications, which only mask the symptoms and don’t treat the underlying issues.

We also offer laser therapy—to improve pain relief and reduce swelling associated with muscle strains, tendon, ligament injuries, and other soft tissue injuries— and spinal decompression, which can alleviate compressed spinal joints and take pressure off the nerves and spinal column due to an auto injury.

After an auto accident, let the road to recovery begin with our Tampa, FL, chiropractor Dr. Kollias. Call Sheldon Road Chiropractic & Massage Therapy to schedule an evaluation at (813) 884-1457.
