How Car Accidents Injure the Musculoskeletal System
The sudden forces of a car accident compress, stretch, and twist the spine and surrounding structures in ways that routine daily movement never does. The result is a constellation of musculoskeletal injuries — cervical and lumbar facet joint dysfunction, paraspinal muscle guarding, ligamentous laxity — that respond particularly well to chiropractic manipulation and soft tissue techniques.
What Chiropractic Treatment Involves at MAIC
MAIC's licensed chiropractors provide spinal manipulation (manual adjustment of restricted spinal joints), soft tissue therapy including myofascial release, therapeutic modalities including electric stimulation and ultrasound, and structured rehabilitation exercises. All treatment is documented with SOAP-standard clinical notes that include objective range of motion measurements at every visit.
