Injury and Accidents

Getting into a car accident can be extremely traumatic experience for your body. Many times, the abrupt movement involved with a collision can cause severe injury to your spine, soft tissue, joints and even your brain. Symptoms of a car accident can show up days, weeks and even months after the accident. That is why we recommend getting checked by a chiropractor as soon as possible after your accident. At Vitality Chiropractic we have the knowledge and equipment to help you on the road to recovery.

Treatments Provided for

Auto Accidents in Sarasota

At Vitality Chiropractic, we provide a variety of treatments to help you recover from your accident. The most common treatments are:

​

Spinal Alignments

Spinal alignments are a technique we use to realign your spine. By adjusting the vertebrae out of place, we can take pressure off your nerves and muscles and help your body recover. Aligning your spine is the core of chiropractic treatments and can help provide wellness even after recovering from your accident.


Myofascial Release

At Vitality Chiropractic, we use vibration therapy and Graston technique to help with muscular tension. Treating muscle tension can reduce pain, increase range of motion, and speed up the recovery time.


Intersegmental Traction

This technique utilizes a mechanical traction table that provides negative pressure to your spine to take the pressure off your discs and vertebrae. Intersegmental traction reduces pain and tension, improves circulation, improves range of motion, and helps get your discs and vertebrae back into place.


Heat therapy & Ultrasound

We utilized moist heating pads and ultrasound therapy to reduce inflammation, improve circulation and reduce muscle tension.


Electrical Stimulation

This type of therapy helps with reducing muscle pain and
spasms at the same time that it keeps muscles active to prevent atrophy after an injury.
