Recover From Auto Accident Injuries With Shockwave Therapy
Even a minor car accident can lead to serious auto injuries, ranging from whiplash to herniated discs and more. It’s important to seek treatment for auto injuries right away to accelerate your recovery, manage your pain, and reduce the risk of developing chronic symptoms. At Preferred Family Chiropractic, our chiropractor, Dr. Adrian Williams, invests in the latest technologies to support our patients’ recovery in Clermont, Four Corners, and Citrus Ridge, FL. Shockwave therapy, for example, is often recommended for patients with auto injuries.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge, noninvasive treatment that uses sound waves to promote healing. Often, auto injuries lead to the formation of muscle adhesions and scar tissue, which can cause pain and restrict range of motion. Shockwave therapy creates microtrauma within the scar tissue, breaking it down and prompting the body to heal the area.
This type of chiropractic treatment can also help:
- Improve circulation, which supports the healing process
- Restore range of motion
- Reduce pain
- Activate stem cells and boost collagen production
What Can I Expect From Shockwave in Clermont?
If you’ve never had shockwave therapy before, you may be curious about what to expect. The treatment is noninvasive and doesn’t take long. First, Dr. Williams will conduct a thorough evaluation to ensure shockwave treatments are appropriate for you. Next, he’ll apply a special gel to the treatment area to facilitate transmission of the sound waves. Then, he’ll apply a handheld device to the area, which generates sound waves.
Our patients often experience significant pain relief after just one treatment. However, to best support your recovery, Dr. Williams may recommend additional shockwave treatments. Additional treatments are usually scheduled between three and 10 days apart.
What Types of Auto Injuries Can Shockwave Therapy Treat?
Shockwave therapy can be an appropriate choice for accelerating healing for a wide range of auto injuries. Dr. Williams may recommend shockwave treatment for injuries such as:
- Disc Injuries
- Strains and sprains
- Inflammation (chronic)
- Whiplash
- Neck, shoulder, and back pain
