Even
a minor auto accident in the state of Colorado can have major effects
on your health for years to come if you don't seek out the correct care.
If you have been injured in a car accident in Colorado your auto insurance
will cover your medical massage therapy. We offer massage in Fort Collins, Greeley, Denver, and throughout the state in one of our 24 current locations.
Often right after the accident you do not think you are injured and walk away from the accident "feeling fine". Then you wake up two weeks later and you
can not turn you neck. It is not uncommon for auto accidents
to cause you muscular pain, headaches, even arthritis that can be very
difficult to get rid of for years to come if not treated correctly.
The
evaluations done by emergency room doctors are only meant to ensure you
don't suffer from any serious, immediate injuries like broken bones,
abrasions, cuts, or concussions. They are not looking for muscle tissue
injuries. The whiplash injury to the neck, or cervical sprain/strain,
is the most common injury that results from an auto accident. Sprains
and strains are referred to as soft tissue injuries (soft tissue
includes muscles, tendons, and ligaments) and occur when the head is
abruptly jerked back and forth, and muscles and ligaments can be
injured. These injuries, are invisible on x-rays and often overlooked,
they can cause severe debilitating pain.
In
addition to pain you may also experience symptoms including; blurry
vision, hearing problems, dizziness, pain and tingling in the arms and
hands, headache, decreased ability to turn the neck, and low back
problems. Injured muscles heal with scar tissue in a way that leave
them weaker, less elastic, and prone to re-injury and pain. Worse yet,
if a soft tissue injury is not directly addressed with therapy such as
medical massage, and left untreated and unresolved, the injured muscles
and other soft tissues can end up causing chronic pain for months,
years—even decades after the accident.
