Put the Brakes on Car Accident Pain and Suffering with Treatments from Kingwood Chiropractor

A car accident can cause damage on several levels, both to your vehicle and to your body. Coy Chiropractic offers several treatments for injuries resulting from auto accidents, with the exact type of treatment plan based on your individual needs. Dr. Jeff Coy has been helping to alleviate pain and suffering as well as correct its underlying cause since our clinic opened in 1988. Several treatments available as part of our chiropractic care are specifically tailored to treat common vehicle accident injuries.

Whiplash: Symptoms Include Headaches,
Back Pain,  Neck Pain, and Dizziness

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries following an auto accident, and the condition is not always immediately apparent. Even if you feel no pain or other symptoms, your neck tendons, ligaments and muscles may have been damaged by a sudden, traumatic jolt. Whiplash can come with symptoms that include back pain, neck pain, and headaches.

Sciatica is another condition that can result from an accident. While this painful condition has several different possible causes, it can also be caused by an auto accident, fall, or other traumatic event. The sciatic nerve runs from your back through your hip and buttock areas and then down the back of the leg. Pressure on the nerve from any cause can create back pain as well as pain, tingling and numbness along the nerve's path.

Other common injuries resulting from a vehicle accident can include sprains and strains, which can also benefit from treatments from our chiropractor. In addition to treatments that focus on alleviating pressure and pain and realigning the spine, our Kingwood chiropractor offers several physiotherapy services that can help healing and the body's restoration. These include percussion massage therapy, cryotherapy, ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, and low level laser therapy, all of which can be part of a comprehensive plan to help alleviate back pain and other injuries.

Low Level Laser Therapy Lights the Way for Relief
at Coy Chiropractic in Kingwood

Low level laser therapy is a non-invasive advanced treatment with a plethora of benefits. At Coy Chiropractic, we utilize this type of therapy to help our patients find pain relief and live well. Certified since 1986, Dr. Jeff Coy has vast experience helping people achieve and maintain optimum health with traditional chiropractic techniques as well as advanced services that help alleviate pain, promote healing and restore the body to its full level of functioning. Low level laser therapy can provide all three of those benefits and has been an effective physiotherapeutic treatment that is part of our Kingwood chiropractic care.

Chiropractor Uses Laser Therapy as Part of Comprehensive Treatment Plans

The therapy works by emitting a single wavelength of light that can penetrate tissue deep into the cellular level. Also known as cold laser therapy, low level laser therapy does not produce any heat, nor does it emit vibration or sound. Although you may not feel anything on the surface, the laser beam is stimulating cell activity, which can help alleviate back pain, neck pain, and other discomfort, decrease fatigue and stiffness, and accelerate healing of affected tissues. Our chiropractor Dr. Coy can use low level laser therapy on its own or incorporate it into a comprehensive plan that treats a number of conditions and ailments.

As a certified chiropractic sports practitioner, Dr. Coy has seen the beneficial effects of low laser light therapy as part of a sports injury treatment plan, and its use does not stop there. He has used it for personal injury and car accident treatment programs, including those that involve sprains, strains, muscle overuse and whiplash. Low level laser therapy has also worked for fibromyalgia, a number of joint ailments and disorders, osteoarthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Various other musculoskeletal disorders can benefit from low level laser therapy, with each treatment plan tailored to each patient to meet individual needs.
