An auto accident can happen quickly, without warning. You can’t predict when an accident will happen, but you do have a choice concerning treatment to achieve pain relief. For injuries causing neck, shoulder pain or back pain, consider chiropractic treatment. These FAQs from us at Newton Chiropractic & Wellness Centre explain more about chiropractic auto accident injury treatment for pain relief.

When it comes to musculoskeletal pain, doctors may resort to prescription drugs for pain relief. Drugs can provide temporary relief of pain and discomfort but might not deal with the source of your pain. Chiropractic care is specifically designed to treat musculoskeletal injuries to give you long-term pain relief. Our treatments are noninvasive and drug free, so there’s no risk of getting addicted to prescription drugs for pain relief. By seeing a Newton chiropractor shortly after your auto accident, you can get help to know whether you have a soft tissue injury and avoid delays in your treatment.

Our chiropractic treatments can provide pain relief and promote natural healing of your injury.

We start with a review of your medical history to get a better idea of your state of health. Afterward, we’ll perform a limited physical exam to diagnose your condition and determine the extent of your injury. This may require digital x-rays or other testing. Once we’ve determined the source of your pain, we can outline a plan for treatment.

A Newton chiropractor on our team can make use of chiropractic adjustments combined with holistic therapies like therapeutic massage, exercises, and lifestyle counseling to help treat whiplash and other auto injuries.

Massage FAQs

Your massage or bodywork session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table specially designed for your comfort.

Your session will be conducted by a professional who has received proper training, often in a variety of techniques. Some massage and bodywork practitioners are licensed by the state, while others are locally regulated. Although no two massages are exactly alike, you may request a certain technique or modality.

Most massage and bodywork techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, you may decide what amount of clothing you prefer to wear for your own comfort. You will be properly draped during the session.

The practitioner will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet.

You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.

You and the practitioner will discuss the desired outcome of your session. This will determine which parts of your body require massage. With the practitioners help and the areas of your discomfort or pain together you can come up with a plan of action to take.

A light oil or lotion may be used to permit your muscles to be worked on without causing excessive friction to the skin. The lubricants used should hydrate the skin and be readily absorbed. Most of the lotions that are used are hypoallergenic and have no scents. If you are allergic to any specific oils or scents please let you practitioner know at the start of your session.

It depends on the techniques used. In a general Swedish Massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes that will help to calm your nervous system and at ease exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax and relieve specific areas of muscle tension. You should communicate with your practitioner immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. Massage and bodywork are most effective when your body is not resisting.

There are numerous types of massage and bodywork. Various techniques utilize different strokes, including basic rubbing strokes, rocking movement, posture and movement reeducation, application of pressure to specific points, and more. Ask the practitioner about the methods she uses.

The average full-body session or bodywork session lasts approximately one hour. We recommend between 60-90 minutes to ensure that areas of the body which are worked on are given enough time to relax enough so that the practitioner can help correct areas of pain or discomfort. Always allow yourself relaxation time prior to and after the session.

Make yourself comfortable. The practitioner will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax. The practitioners prefer for you to refrain from general conversation during your massage so that you let your body fully relax. If at any time you have a question about the technique or massage or if its too much for you please let the practitioners know. Please make sure to also shut off your phone before entering the treatment room so as not to disturb your massage or the practice.

Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity, which can last for days. Since toxins are released from your soft tissues during a massage, it is recommended you drink plenty of water afterward.

Network Spinal Analysis

The specific application of forces used to facilitate the body’s correction of the nerve interference and to restore normal function.

A subluxation is a misalignment of the bones and/or tension of the associated nerve tissue. This tension causes interference in the nervous system, thereby lowering our potential for optimal health and well-being.

During a session in our office the NSA practitioner will be addressing the neurological, bony and muscular components of your problem. Precisely timed gentle adjustments are given which allow the body to release the unhealthy patterns it has developed. During the NSA session the practitioner may also use some massage or manual therapy techniques such as gentle stretching/holding of the muscles in the extremities or spine which are pulling on the spinal structures. This allows for optimal health.

A retrospective study of Network patients conducted within the Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology College of Medicine, University of California reported that 95% of the respondents reported that their expectations had been met and 99% wished to continue care.

When you have an unhealthy pattern in your body there are “layers” of the problem. As you receive adjustments the body structure will be changing. Along the way in creating this unhealthy pattern you developed compensation for an injury, then compensation for the compensations, etc. When you get rid of a tension pattern from the body the movement of your body will help to re-enforce this healthy pattern in you. You may feel sore as you are using different muscles as you adapt. You also may be uncovering something that the surface pattern had been compensating for as you move closer to the core problem. In addition, daily stresses may be creating new stress patterns. As you remove these unhealthy patterns the body is functioning better and you will be less likely to develop unhealthy patterns as the mechanics of the body have improved.

This technique honors what your body needs at any specific moment by carefully analyzing very specific indicators. It works with you to help your system get more independent in self-correcting. NSA utilizes a network of other techniques tailored to your need and works in the most gentle fashion possible.

As you receive a Network treatment the chiropractor will be carefully addressing the area of the body that is creating the most tension or pulling at that moment. By observing different parameters in the body including the leg length,tension on the heels, rotation of the feet, etc. the chiropractor is able to know exactly which area is ready to move at that moment. In addition, as the chiropractor successfully corrects the problem they will observe the parameters change and reveal the next area which should be addressed. The body pattern determines which area should be addressed and with what modality. For example, the forward pulling of the head may be causing stress in the low back as the body is mechanically not operating well. If the doctor only addressed the area that hurt they would not get the best or lasting results.

During your session you will be encouraged to move if you want. As your body unwinds the unhealthy patterns you may feel the urge to lift/stretch, you may begin to breathe more fully into an area that was previously not moving with the breath. This is your body at work healing itself. When this occurs the practitioner may leave you alone to complete that cycle. They may observe your movements to determine what you are working on and use that data to determine what to do next. Due to this process you will be adjusted alongside other patients. This allows the doctor to let you have time to process the work that was done and to also observe you simultaneously. You may observe some of the other patients moving, some of them resting and others may be doing stretches, etc. the doctor has given them. You will be in the adjusting room typically 20-40 minutes. Talking is allowed but this is a time for listening to the clues that your body is giving you and relaxing your mind. The doctor will know your history and be observing your objective findings and getting right to work on correcting them. Please do not make or answer phone calls in the treatment area.

NSA can be utilized to enhance wellness and ultimately that should be the goal. It is also a very good technique for painful and functional problems. Many patients start with the goal of eliminating pain and continue as Wellness patients as they notice they feel better overall when they are regularly receiving Network sessions.

Many insurance companies will cover chiropractic services including Network care. Insurance companies will not cover for wellness or maintenance care. Insurance companies will pay only for initial acute program and in some instances to correct or support a serious structural program. We suggest that you continue on one of our affordable wellness plans when you reach this phase in care to help you reach your optimal state of health and for prevention.

Our chiropractors can evaluate a condition to determine if this care is appropriate for anyone with a painful or structural problem. We will refer you if its not. All individuals can benefit from having their nervous systems “tuned up”. The adjustments are applied to the body in a gentle, non-intrusive way thus allowing us to work SAFELY with patients of all ages and with people with such delicate conditions such as disc herniation and osteoporosis. The research study on Network demonstrated a statistically significant, profound and consistent improvement in health and wellness issues including: improved flexibility, fewer colds or flu, decreased moodiness, temper and angry outbursts, improved ability to think and concentrate, less pain, fewer headaches, more energy, less fatigue (and more).
