An auto injury chiropractor would be particularly concerned about whiplash, which is when your neck incurs damage from rapidly accelerating and decelerating. Subluxations in your neck can result in pain traveling up into your head or down into your shoulders and arms, which is why expert chiropractic adjustments may be necessary for whole-body relief. In addition to spinal column adjustments, our auto injury chiropractor offers other non-invasive services to speed and improve your recovery. One of these is spinal decompression. Injuries in your neck or lower back can cause ruptures in your spinal discs, which are the cushions between your vertebrae. Leaking disc material may compress nerve roots and trigger an inflammatory response in nearby soft tissues. But by using traction tables, we can create negative pressure in the spinal discs, allowing herniated material to move back into place and taking pressure off the nerves.

Dr. Stark’s Florissant office also provides ultrasound therapy for soft tissue relief. When muscles are overstrained, they tighten, and besides making them sore, this makes them less effective at counterbalancing each other. Ultrasound therapy uses heat to loosen tight muscles, allowing them to regain their strength and flexibility through exercise.
