But I Don’t Have Pain Right Now!

But I don’t have pain right now…
Whiplash, how it happens and how pain is not always felt right after a car accident!

Imagine yourself driving when a car behind you rear-ends your vehicle. The impact pushes your car forward. It takes about 100 milliseconds for your body to catch up to the forward movement. Your shoulders travel forward until they are under your head, and your neck extends forward as your head tilts slightly down toward your steering wheel. You step on the brakes, bringing the car to an abrupt halt. The sudden stop throws your head and neck backward, and they bounce against the headrest. In a matter of seconds, you’ve experienced the classic mechanism of injury for whiplash.

About 20 percent of people involved in rear-end collisions later experience symptoms that center in the neck region. Although most of these people recover quickly, a small number develop chronic conditions that result in severe pain and sometimes disability.

Whiplash is an injury to the soft tissues of the neck. Whiplash injury strains the muscles and ligaments of the neck beyond their normal range of motion. There is often pain and stiffness in the neck for the first few days following a whiplash injury. The pain can also be felt in the surrounding muscle groups in the head, chest, shoulders, and arms.

Symptoms of Whiplash:You may feel pain and stiffness in your neck for the first few days following a whiplash injury. Then you feel better, but the pain and stiffness may come back several days later.

The discomfort you feel may involve surrounding muscle groups in your head, chest, shoulders, and arms.

People who experience whiplash may develop one or more of the following symptoms, usually within the first two days after the accident:

Neck pain and stiffness
Headaches
Pain in the shoulder or between the shoulder blades
Low back pain
Pain or numbness in the arm and/or hand
Dizziness
Ringing in the ears or blurred vision
Difficulty concentrating or remembering
Irritability, sleep disturbances, fatigue

WE CAN HELP!

At Countyline Chiropractic Medical & Rehab Centers, we treat people suffering from neck, shoulder, elbow, upper/mid/lower back, and knee pain. We apply any combination of physical therapeutic modalities such as massage, moist heat, ice, electric muscle stimulation, traction, ultrasound, and rehabilitative strengthening exercises. In addition, we apply chiropractic adjustments (spinal manipulation) to the affected regions. The purpose of these adjustments is to restore proper joint function and thus relieve nerve interference by moving the bones into proper alignment. Once the bones are aligned and the muscles are relaxed, proper healing may begin.
Additionally, we have a medical doctor on staff at all five of our Countyline Chiropractic Medical & Rehab locations in order to supplement the needs of a patient beyond the chiropractic/physical therapy scope. So if you, or anyone you know has pain, or has been involved in an auto accident, work-related accident, slip-and-fall, or sports injury, please let Countyline Chiropractic Medical & Rehab help you to heal and prevent further damage to your body.

We accept all Auto, PPO, POS, and some HMO insurances. We also make it affordable for those who may have financial challenges during the current economic weather.

Do You Suffer from Headaches?

Help Someone Who has Headaches!
A frequent cause of headaches is the malfunction of spinal bones in the neck. When the bones of the neck lose their normal position, sensitive nerves and blood vessels to the head can be effected. When spinal nerves are stretched or irritated, they produce throbbing headaches. Aspirin and medications can be effective in covering up the warning signs, also known as symptoms, but do not correct the underlying cause. Because headaches are so common, some people think that getting a headache is a normal part of life! Headaches are a warning sign that something is wrong! Almost all headache suffers find relief and correction with proper chiropractic care.
Our mission in chiropractic is to help people who are tired of just covering up their pain by taking drugs. We can’t reach everyone personally to tell them that Chiropractic might be the answer to their problem. Let’s both offer a helping hand. Refer those you know who could benefit from our care and we will offer our honest and sincere assistance. Print out this newsletter and give it to someone who we can help together.

Sciatica

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:41:49 +0000

Help Someone Who has Sciatica!
Your lower back has a greater amount of stress than your upper back due to theamount of weight it has to support. As a result, misalignment of the bones of your lower back can occur causing the nerves to be pinched which lead to your hip, leg and foot. This condition is called sciatica. It produces a sharp, burning sensation down your leg. You may experience back and thigh pain for weeks or even months before the onset of sciatica. Chiropractic treatment removes the pressure from the pinched nerves by realigning the bones of your spine through gentle chiropractic adjustments.

Good Posture is a Chain Reaction!
Did you know that good posture is a chain reaction from the ground up? Have you noticed that you or someone else has one shoulder higher than the other? Orthe head tilted to one side? These problems are most often caused by abnormal biomechanics which have absolutely devastating long term effects on the joints of your body! Painful arthritis and joint decay are the result of uncorrected postural distortions. If you or someone you love has poor posture, PLEASE tell them about our offices! You’ll be doing us all a favor.

WE CAN HELP!
At Countyline Chiropractic Medical & Rehab, we often treat people suffering from sciatica.

Effects of A Car Accident

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:17:14 +0000

Have you noticed how many accidents occur in the state of Florida? People stop to look at these accidents everyday out of sheer curiosity. Did you ever stop to think what damage the people involved incurred? The damage may be more detrimental than what may be present on the surface.
Minor accidents can have a major impact on the body. Serious injuries may not immediately cause pain. Sometimes PAIN is the last part of the injury to appear and the first part of your injury to disappear. During an accident, or any other high impact trauma, the body is thrust either side to side or back and forth, or both. This type of force causes the tendons (tissue connecting the muscles to the bones) and ligaments (tissue connecting bones to bones) to stretch. When such an injury occurs, the body heals by creating scar tissue. If not properly treated, these tendons and ligaments will lose their elasticity thus creating restricted range of motion in the joints.
Some of these accidents have an even more deleterious effect on the body. Located between the vertebrae (spinal bones) are ligaments called intervertebral discs. These discs act as shock absorbers for the spine. Often, during a trauma, these discs bulge or herniate ("slipped disc"). Since the discs are located right next to the spinal nerves, combined with vertebrae out of alignment, these "bulges" may interfere with the nerves.
At Countyline Chiropractic Medical & Rehab, we often treat people involved in accidents. We apply any combination of physical therapeutic modalities such as massage, moist heat, ice, electric muscle stimulation, traction, ultrasound, and rehabilitative strengthening exercises. In addition, we apply chiropractic adjustments (spinal manipulation) to the affected regions. The purpose of these adjustments is to restore proper joint function and thus relieve nerve interference by moving the bones into proper alignment. Once the bones are aligned and the muscles are relaxed, proper healing may begin.

Additionally, we have a medical doctor on staff at all five of our Countyline Chiropractic Medical & Rehab locations in order to supplement the needs of a patient beyond the chiropractic/physical therapy scope. So if you, or anyone you know has had an injury as a result of an auto accident, work-related accident, slip-and-fall, or sports injury, please let Countyline Chiropractic Medical & Rehab help you to heal and prevent further damage to your body.
