As a Firefighter, Dr. McNamara understands the forces that the human body undergo when in a motor vehicle collision. Working with a Neurologist and Chiropractor for the first 2 1/2 years as a Chiropractor in a Personal Injury clinic taught him the importance of doing a thorough Orthopedic/Neurological exam on every patient. Unfortunately, Dr. McNamara has first-hand experience dealing with his own whiplash after several rear-end collisions by other motorists. The Chiropractic care he received after those whiplash injuries helped him heal quicker and relieved him from the daily headaches he was suffering from. He also understands that even a 5 mile an hour rear-end collision can cause painful symptoms. Just because your car has no visible damage doesn’t mean your pain is not real or that the collision didn’t cause it.
Car Accident Injury Care
A Car Accident can be a traumatic experience and can affect someone emotionally or physically. Back injuries, Whiplash, concussions, muscle strains and other forms of physical damage can possibly leave you unable to function well on a regular day to day basis. If you have experienced a car accident injury, or if you’re concerned about having problems after an incident that hasn’t been detected yet, you definitely need an immediate care and treatment. At McNamara Chiropractic we can help diagnose and can naturally treat, offer non-surgical relief for people who have had a car accident.
Understanding Your Car Accident Injury
If you’re having pain, stiffness, neuropathy or other indications after a car accident, you must have been wondering what is wrong. A car accident injury can affect someone physically even when the vehicle is only moving as slowly as 5mph at the time of impact. The impact that hit your body may cause a serious shock to the spinal section, possible dislocate your vertebral joints and may permit herniated discs to apply pressure to spinal nerve roots. At the point when this sort of injury afflicts the lumbar region, the subsequent sciatic nerve impingement can cause lower back pain, leg pain and numbness in the feet.
A shock experienced in the cervical spine can bring a huge number of issues. If your head experienced hard impact backward and forward, chances are you may end up with having whiplash. Whiplash can include torn muscles in the neck, cervical spinal misalignment and pinched cervical nerve roots; the last can create manifestations like sciatica in the arms and hands. The whipping movement can as well cause a concussion as the brain strikes the inside of the skull.
