Tampa Auto Accidents
Motor vehicle injuries can be devastating both in the short and long term. Whether you received serious injuries or simply woke up the next morning feeling stiff, it’s important to address your auto accident injuries. At Corrective Therapy Pain Relief Center located in Tampa Bay, Frank Pugni can help treat your injury!
Serious musculoskeletal auto accidents that initially require medical attention may end up causing you problems in the future such as chronic pain, early degeneration or arthritis. It’s important to seek follow-up care such as physical therapy for auto accident injuries. Whether your accident occurred recently or many years ago, there is still time to address chronic conditions that stemmed from the accident.
Less serious injuries are often overlooked. Most people do feel very stiff and sore following an auto accident, but rest and over-the-counter medications are often the only recommended treatment. The fact is, there could be a lot going on that needs to be addressed.
Whiplash is a common auto accident injury. When the neck is suddenly forced beyond its normal range of motion, muscles, ligaments and tendons can be strained, sprained and torn. The spine can be misaligned. If whiplash is left untreated, it can lead to whiplash syndrome which may include headaches, dizziness or referred shoulder pain.
Chronic pain, debilitation and limited movement stemming from auto accident may impact your life, and you must address the root causes rather than bandage your pain with pain medicines. This only serves to treat the symptoms, and what you really need are effective solutions that will allow you to be pain free!
At the root of all pain, there is a process taking place that is the body’s normal response to any auto accident injury or degenerative condition. There are three phases to healing, during which time there are specific treatments necessary to promote faster more efficient healing to avoid chronic pain in the future.
The first phase from an auto accident is inflammation, which is the body’s way of attempting to protect an area that is injured. Inflammation, along with nerve entrapment can cause painful compression of the nerves and other spinal components.
As well, proper fluid movement is hampered. This means that nourishing, healing fluids are restricted and toxic fluids from the injury remain in the tissue. Addressing this inflammation is crucial to the healing process. Passive motion should be used at this point to reduce the inflammation.
The second phase is the repair phase where your body attempts to replace the damaged tissue with new collagen. Nutritional supplements such as vitamin C are essential to this process.
The third phase is the remodeling phase in which the new collagen needs to be properly aligned. This new collagen is irregular and in order for it to function properly, it needs a little help being remodeled with the "appropriate techniques and forms of therapy”.
