Motor vehicle accidents are unfortunately all too common, with thousands occurring in our state each year. While some result in only minor injuries, others can have lasting impacts on an individual’s health and well-being. At Denville Medical, our team of functional medicine experts understands the complexities of recovering from a car accident.
Car accidents can cause injuries that go beyond the obvious cuts, bruises or fractures. The jarring forces involved can lead to misalignments in the spine, disrupting nerve function and causing pain and imbalances throughout the body. Whiplash, a common occurrence in rear-end collisions, can result in chronic neck pain, headaches, and even cognitive issues if left untreated.
Our integrated approach addresses the whole person, not just the symptoms. Our chiropractors gently realign the spine, while our physical therapists strengthen supporting muscles and improve mobility. Our acupuncturists and functional medicine practitioners work to restore balance, reduce inflammation, and optimize healing.
Symptoms from a car accident trauma may not surface immediately. Concussions, whiplash, and other injuries can take hours or days to manifest. That’s why we emphasize thorough evaluations, even if you feel fine initially. Our practitioners are trained to identify subtle signs that others may miss.
At Denville Medical, we believe in treating the root cause, not just masking symptoms. Our team collaborates to create personalized treatment plans that combine conventional and alternative therapies. From primary care to targeted therapies like spinal decompression or neurofeedback, we leverage a wide range of tools to facilitate your recovery.
Our approach not only addresses the physical impacts of a car accident but also the emotional and psychological effects that can linger. Our goal is to restore your well-being, so you can get back to living your best life.
Our practitioners have extensive experience working with individuals recovering from car accidents. We understand the unique challenges you face and are committed to being your partners every step of the way. From your initial evaluation to your final follow-up, we’ll be there to support, educate, and empower you.
If you or a loved one has been in a car accident, don’t wait for symptoms to worsen. Schedule a consultation with our team today and take the first step towards comprehensive healing.
Epat Therapy
EPAT therapy is a highly effective treatment method which uses high-energy sound waves to target painful areas of the body.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy uses red light energy to repair tissue, reduce inflammation and significantly reduce pain. The process of which the red light energy is used is known as photobiomodulation.
RADIO PULSE FREQUENCY THERAPY
Used to treat pain from damaged or irritated nerves. This therapy creates a controlled electrical field around an electrode, normally the shape and size of a needle, which is then placed through the skin to a nerve, blocking the pain signals.
ELECTRIC STIM
Decrease pain, Decrease muscle spasm, Decrease swelling.
SPINAL TRACTION
Used to treat sciatica, herniated discs, pinched nerves, Spinal traction is a form of decompression therapy that relieves pressure on the spine.
SPINAL DECOMPRESSION
Therapy used to reduce back and/or leg pain. It stretches and relaxes the spine intermittently in a controlled manner.
SPINAL MANIPULATION
Used to reduce back pain and improve physical functioning. During spinal manipulation, a hand or object is used to apply force to a joint of the spine.
INTERSEGMENTAL TRACTION
Increase spinal mobility, Stretches scar tissue, Increase circulation, Spinal Decompression.
NEUROMUSCULAR RE-EDUCATION
Refers to techniques used to improve balance, coordination, posture, and the sense of the relative position of neighboring parts of the body and the amount of effort being employed in movement. These can be used to help people who have experienced fractures or muscle tears or people with degenerative conditions.
TECHNIQUES
○ Graston Technique
○ Diversified Technique
○ Activator Technique
○ Carver Technique
○ SOT Technique
ISOKINETIC EXERCISE
Rationale: Rule out or confirm muscle weakness and establish baseline from muscle or nerve injury, Monitor treatment progress, maximize improvement or permanent impairment.
Treatment: Exercises, Muscle/Nerve rehab and retraining, Severe sprain may require referral
THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE
Therapeutic exercises are prescribed to correct an impairment, improve musculoskeletal function, or maintain a state of well-being. They have many goals such as improving circulation, coordination and balance.
GAIT TRAINING
Corrects walking impairments, Decreases reoccurrence, Improves biomechanics
IONTOPHORESIS
Medication used with electrical stimulation for pain relief of soft tissue injuries, Decrease swelling.
GEL INJECTIONS
Gel injections are commonly known as hyaluronate (HA) injections. Its purpose is to mimic the synovial fluid of the knee. Synovial fluid, also known as joint fluid, provides a cushion between bones to reduce friction in the joints and serves as a shock absorber for weight and impact.
TRAUMEEL
Traumeel is composed of all natural ingredients and is used to temporarily relieve joint and muscle pain.
