Auto Accident Chiropractic in Palmdale
When you are involved in an auto accident, your body is tossed around and your muscles are overstretched. As part of the body’s defense mechanism, muscles go into spasm to protect the injured area. This in turn creates scar tissue, which results in pain, inflammation and decreased range of motion.
If left unaddressed, your body will do its best to heal from the injury, but the damage creates a cumulative effect that often results in degeneration and arthritic changes in the spine.

Why Chiropractic Care Is Important
Chiropractors are considered the gateway practitioners for musculoskeletal injuries such as those sustained in car crashes. That is because our care is the least invasive and most conservative, so it makes sense to start with us. Most attorneys and insurance carriers want patients to see a chiropractor before entertaining more invasive approaches.
