Numbness
& Tingling
During an automobile accident, the body may undergo an
immense amount of physical stress. This can be the case even
if you would consider your accident minor, due to the fact that the body’s
natural response to sudden collision is to tense. In the event of an automobile accident of any magnitude, it is common for injury to occur. The problem is that we tend to look for obvious injuries after accidents, such as broken bones or cuts. From this standpoint, it is difficult to determine the long-term consequences of an automobile accident.
It is common for injuries to appear weeks, or even months after an automobile accident. The unfortunate aspect of this is that many people do not get the compensation or coverage they would deserve from an auto accident insurance claim because injuries were not reported. In many cases, however, auto accidents lead to misalignment in the spine, and the subsequent compression of nerves.
Below the surface, issues such as herniated discs may occur from an auto accident, leading to altered sensations at some point, if not immediately. Numbness and tingling are two sensations that may occur in the days, weeks, or months following an auto accident. These are warning signs that nerves are impinged, and that an injury has occurred.
Soreness, numbness, and tingling are not normal sensations after an auto accident, and should be thoroughly evaluated by a doctor of chiropractic. Our approach to such sensations is not to prescribe anti-inflammatory medication or pain reducers, but to get to the root of the problem. Dr. Gerber has seventeen years of chiropractic experience, and he has assembled the best treatments for the ultimate resolution of spinal injuries.
The care you receive in our North Palm Beach chiropractic center is tailored to meet your specific needs. Dr. Gerber begins care with a comprehensive examination that may include x-rays. Adjustments to the neck, back, or limbs are performed with gentle precision, as our goal is to get you out of pain and back into the swing of life. We may incorporate electrical muscle stimulation, manual adjustments, and physiotherapy into a treatment plan based on need.
