Boise Chiropractic Auto Injury Patients Find Relief

Active Health and Wellness opened in Boise in 2006 with the goal of promoting active, healthy lifestyles for every resident in the Boise area. Part of our mission is to apply natural, non-invasive Boise chiropractic treatments to resolve headache and back and neck pain from injuries, quickly returning patients to optimum health and active wellness. Dr. Jason Watson and his team have helped many Boise residents who have suffered an auto injury by dynamically treating injuries (especially whiplash) and promoting overall health.

What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash is muscle, ligament and tendon damage caused to the neck or upper back resulting from the violent movement of the head during auto accident. Symptoms can include back pain, neck pain and headaches. Chiropractor Dr. Jason Watson wants to put you on the road to complete recovery after an auto accident Injury. Often, symptoms of whiplash are delayed by weeks or months after an auto injury. So if you have been involved in a car accident, have your spinal health evaluated for auto injury by a licensed Boise chiropractor. It is important to know that undiagnosed and untreated whiplash can cause unnecessary chronic pain for months and years.

When we identify and resolve whiplash early with health promoting treatments, you avoid more serious complications and permanent damage to the tissues. Too often, whiplash victims suffer ongoing symptoms years after the accident and insurance claims have been settled. For your health and well-being, do not assume that no immediate pain after an accident means you are fine. A professional examination can save you years of whiplash pain.

Our treatments are customized for each patient and can include non-invasive therapies like cold laser therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, flexion/distraction therapy, cryotherapy, mechanical traction, musculoskeletal manipulation, and power plate exercises. Cold Laser Therapy (also known as LLLT - low level light therapy) provides effective pain relief for neck and back pain. Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) applies low level electrical currents to muscles in a targeted area. Electrical pulses tense and release muscles to increase blood flow and healing. It can also be great for relaxation.

Flexion/Distraction Therapy treatments temporarily increase space between vertebrae relieving tension between vertebrae, relieving pressure on nerves and improving circulation. It also allows slightly increased space for the center of the disc to reset itself naturally (and more comfortably) for patients. Cryotherapy (cold therapy) treats inflammation and swelling with cold to reduce pain and return tissues to more normal function. Mechanical Traction uses a variety of devices to relieve pressure between vertebrae to reduce or eliminate patient pain. Power Plate Exercise is a vibration exercise that passively works all muscle groups for increased flexibility, strength, circulation, and metabolism without stressing joints.

If you have suffered an auto injury or have been in an auto accident, we encourage you to come in for a chiropractic exam from Dr. Watson. Call us at 208-344-5433 today.
