Everyone knows how important seatbelts and airbags are in protecting motorists from serious injuries or even death. That being said, both methods of protection can be responsible for causing injuries as a result of being in an accident. The severity of the injury will depend on the accident itself. At Mael Chiropractic, serving Allston and the greater Boston area, we provide quality chiropractic care to treat common seatbelt and airbag injuries.
Whiplash
Whiplash is perhaps one of the most common injuries drivers can face in an auto accident, which can wreak havoc on your health. This is because whiplash prevents you from moving properly, which leaves the muscles in that part of the body feeling tight and tense for several days afterward. As if this isn't enough, the jerky motion also pulls on the tendons, causing them more damage than they would normally sustain during everyday use.
Abrasions and Broken Bones
While an airbag can do its job to keep your body in place, the high impact and friction can create burns and abrasions. It is also not uncommon to have a few bruised or broken bones from the force. If there is a substantial amount of force, there can also be bruising of the internal organs, which would be considered a medical emergency.
How a Chiropractor Can Help with Auto Accident Injuries
We specialize in helping our patients regain functionality and mobility after an auto accident. Dr. Mael will create a customized treatment plan involving a variety of modalities to provide pain relief and support the healing process. Best of all, chiropractic care does not rely on pain medication or invasive procedures like surgery to produce results.
