If you have been in a car accident recently, you should schedule an examination with Dr. Beth Cooper of Sunshine Chiropractic.</p> <p>Many of the hidden injuries in car accidents do not show up for days or weeks after the incident and delaying treatment can increase your recovery time.</p> <p>When most people think of car accidents, they think of lacerations, broken bones and internal and facial injuries that require surgery and stitches. The vast majority of car accidents are at relatively low speeds and do not produce any visible injuries. Instead, the injuries are in the form of back and neck pain, herniated discs and whiplash as well as strains and sprains from the impact and tensing the body.</p> <p>Whiplash is by far the most common injury reported after a car accident, but it can also occur when an individual falls or during contact sports. It causes severe headaches, dizziness, upper back, shoulder and neck pain and loss of range of motion in the neck.</p> <p>Herniated discs can happen when the spine is put under pressure or jarred, which can happen during a car accident. Muscle pulls and sprains and strains are also common during vehicle accidents and can cause moderate to severe back and neck pain.</p> <p>These injuries typically do not get better with time. Instead, the pain, discomfort and headaches only increase in severity.</p> <p>How long should you wait to see a chiropractor after a car accident?</p> <p>It is critical that chiropractic care is sought immediately after an automobile accident since allowing the effects of whiplash to go untreated can induce long-term pain. The seriousness of the physical effects of an accident is not always known or felt immediately following. It can take days, weeks or even months for major symptoms to show up, which is why immediate chiropractic care is essential to maintaining the health of a spine that has been through a trauma.</p> <p>Early care and treatment means full healing and recovery is realized. Even a car crash that is seemingly minor with limited damage to the car itself can cause serious injury to the driver and passengers. Chiropractic treatments are the right step toward restoring the body. They relieve pain, make necessary adjustments to spine alignment and may include massage or other techniques.</p> <p>Contact Sunshine Chiropractic in Ft. Lauderdale to relieve your pain.</p> <p>Sunshine Chiropractic&rsquo;s mission is to adjust, to educate the world about the healing process, to restore benefits of chiropractic, and to remove nerve interference in the body.&nbsp;</p> <p>At Sunshine Chiropractic we treat car accident injury including whiplash, back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines. &nbsp;Dr. Beth Cooper and her staff will help you with pain management and rehabilitation to recover from car accident injury. &nbsp;</p> <p>Contact Sunshine Chiropractic today at (954) 390-1818 for more information to see how you can benefit from their personalized services designed to fit your specific chiropractic needs!&nbsp; Or, you can request an appointment by completing and submitting the <a href=\"https://sunshinechiro.com/page/request.html\">appointment request form.</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> Sunshine Chiropractor in Ft. Lauderdale Can Relieve Your Pain! http://www.sunshinechiro.com/blog/chiropractor-ft-lauderdale/2015/6/9/sunshine-chiropractor-in-ft-lauderdale-can-relieve-your-pain/ Tue, 09 Jun 2015 14:22:35 -0400<p>Are you in need of a chiropractor in Fort Lauderdale?</p> <p>The first thing people think of when you mention visiting a chiropractor is for relief from back pain.&nbsp; But chiropractors treat a broad range of complaints and conditions, from back and neck pain to headaches, arthritis and more.&nbsp; Moreover, you don&rsquo;t need to have a specific complaint or problem to benefit from a chiropractic visit.&nbsp; Chiropractors also focus on preventive and wellness care.&nbsp; Chiropractic care is effective for people of all ages, from infants to the elderly.</p> <p>Chiropractic remains both an integrative practice and an alternative healthcare system. Today chiropractic most often shares a&nbsp;complementary&nbsp;role with conventional medicine. Many people seek chiropractic care based on a referral from informed health professionals who understand the unique skills and perspective of the chiropractor in caring for perplexing problems.&nbsp; The roots of chiropractic are distinctly&nbsp;alternative&nbsp;to the conventional allopathic system of medicine. Chiropractic has a unique philosophy that stresses the body&#39;s innate intelligence and focuses on preventive care as a means to sustained health and quality of life.&nbsp;</p> <p>Understand that chiropractors don&#39;t treat specific conditions or diseases. They detect and remove subluxations, or misalignments of the spine, allowing proper communication between the brain and body, therefore restoring function to the nervous system. &nbsp;As a result, many patients experience improvements in a variety of conditions in addition to musculoskeletal complaints. Below are some of these conditions:</p> <ol style=\"list-style-type:lower-roman;\"> <li value=\"5\">Athletic injuries</li> <li value=\"5\">Allergies</li> <li value=\"5\">Arthritis</li> <li value=\"5\">Asthma</li> <li>ADD/HD</li> <li value=\"5\">Back and neck pain</li> <li value=\"5\">Carpal Tunnel Syndrome</li> <li value=\"5\">Chronic sinus issues</li> <li value=\"5\">Constipation &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</li> <li value=\"5\">Colic</li> <li value=\"5\">Ear Infections &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</li> <li value=\"5\">Gastrointestinal dysfunction</li> <li value=\"5\">Headaches/Migraines &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</li> <li value=\"5\">Herniated/Degenerative Disc &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</li> <li value=\"5\">Hip/Sacro-Iliac Pain</li> <li value=\"5\">Learning Disorders</li> <li value=\"5\">Menstrual dysfunction</li> <li value=\"5\">Menopausal symptoms</li> <li value=\"5\">Neurodevelopmental conditions</li> <li value=\"5\">&ldquo;Pinched&rdquo; nerve</li> <li value=\"5\">Poor immune system function</li> <li value=\"5\">Reflux</li> <li value=\"5\">Sciatica</li> <li value=\"5\">Scoliosis</li> <li value=\"5\">Stress</li> <li value=\"5\">Whiplash</li> </ol> <p>If you have been in a car accident, you need Sunshine Chiropractic.</p> <p>Even car crashes at extremely low speeds can cause a serious amount of damage to your body. &nbsp;Studies show that many injuries take place in accidents under 20 miles per hour. Imagine what could happen if you are involved in a car crash at a high speed! &nbsp;Even if you don&rsquo;t experience immediate pain, it is very wise and highly recommended to visit a chiropractor very soon after a car accident to make sure that your spine hasn&rsquo;t become misaligned and that your body has not sustained any other injuries of which you are unaware at that time.</p> <p>Chiropractic adjustments treat the underlying spinal injury or whiplash injury that can result from a car accident. Adjustments relieve pressure on the nerves and muscles, while also bringing alignment back to the spine. Complementary therapies, including corrective exercises, will help bring a full range of motion back to the body.</p> <p>Contact Sunshine Chiropractic in Ft.

The subluxation causes changes to the structure as well as the nerves. These changes get progressively worse as time is allowed to work on the subluxated area of the spine. These changes take the form of ongoing degeneration known as &quot;subluxation degeneration&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; For this reason early care is vital in stopping and preventing the advancement of subluxation degeneration. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: Georgia\">What types of patients need chiropractic care?<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: Georgia\">People of all ages, from birth to advanced age, can greatly benefit from chiropractic care.&nbsp;
