Car Accident Doctor in Kingston WA

The first question that pops into your head when you're in a car accident in Kingston WA is….What do I do next?

There usually is a lot of confusion after a motor-call vehicle accident, but the goal is to stay calm and get all the necessary information you need, and get evaluated as soon as you possibly can by a licensed professional who knows how to document these types of injuries.

Usually following an accident you don't feel soreness or pain right after the accident, as shock settles in certain neurotransmitters are released into the body and usually pain is not perceived right away. Over the next few hours, pain starts to settle in and muscle spasms begin. The goal in this phase is to get treatment as soon as possible and take the pressure off your joints and muscles so it doesn't settle in.

Treatment options in Kingston WA:

Chiropractic:
Light mobilization is beneficial in restoring normal joint motion following a car accident. For instance, in whiplash injuries, the neck soft tissue structures get irritated causing a lack of motion in the neck. Chiropractic helps restore the normal function of the neck and restore lost range of motion following an accident

Massage:
Acute muscle spasms can turn into chronic issues if not treated in a given amount of time following a car accident. Massage therapy helps take the pressure off of muscle-tendon junction and helps relax muscles that are in spasm

Acupuncture:
Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years and it is utilized to increase circulation to damaged areas. When soft tissue structures are damaged during a car accident, acupuncture helps restore normal circulation and function to muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments. Also Acupuncturists are very successful at decreasing pain levels and increasing the range of motion in the cervical and lumbar spine.
