Chiropractor Helps Patients Recover from Wilmington Auto Accidents Injury

In just seconds, a car accident can seriously impact your health and wellbeing. Even if you are lucky enough to walk away without any broken bones, you may still suffer from a serious spinal injury or whiplash. When this happens, it’s natural to be frustrated with traditional medical treatments that rely on prescription painkillers to “cover up” your pain. While you may experience temporary relief, these medications cannot correct the underlying problem with your spine and truly help you heal. Here at Chiropractic Central in Wilmington, we believe there is a better way. Our chiropractor, Dr. David Lude, uses natural, non-invasive chiropractic alignment to correct from auto accidents injury, including back pain, headaches and herniated discs.

Wilmington Chiropractor Helps Patients Recover From Auto Accidents, Manage Pain

Dr. Lude has been helping patients recover from auto accidents and personal injury for over fifteen years. Thanks to his advanced studies in cervical acceleration/deceleration trauma and whiplash-related temporomandibular joint disorders, Dr. Lude is a leading practitioner in Wilmington on non-invasive treatment of pain caused by auto accidents. Dr. Lude has committed his career to helping patients fully recover from a personal injury or a car accident injury.

Many of the car accident patients Dr. Lude sees are suffering from pain due to whiplash. Whiplash is an injury that occurs to the neck when an individual is struck from behind in a car accident. The force of the impact causes a misalignment of the cervical spine, leading to chronic neck pain, herniated disc, headaches and joint dysfunction. Car accidents can also cause lower back pain when the force of impact causes a herniated disc in the lower back. This misalignment leads to a compression of the nerves, causing pain in the back, neck, legs and buttocks, depending on which nerves are compressed. When a disc is out of place, medications will not correct the problem. Hands-on chiropractic adjustments and non-surgical decompression can restore alignment and ease pain by repositioning the disc so it no longer compresses the nerve. Decompression treatment ensures patients suffer from lasting relief, and protects against future injury.

Dr. Lude’s treatment philosophy is “your needs are central to my care.” This means that the chiropractor does not cover up pain with medication, and that every treatment is tailored closely to the needs of each patient. Every personal injury is different, and Dr. Lude typically creates a personal treatment plan that combines chiropractic care with physiotherapy exercises and spinal adjustments. Corrective exercises can help your recover a full range of motion following a personal injury. These basic exercises emphasize balance, coordination, flexibility, endurance and movement. If pain following an auto accident has caused you to struggle to sit or stand for extended periods, walk up or down stairs, or turn your neck from side to side, these exercises are an important part of the healing process.
