Personal and Auto Injury Physical Therapy in Peoria

Recovering From Accidents Naturally

After a minor auto accident, feeling normal initially is common. However, waking up the next day with a stiff neck and aching back could be a sign of whiplash. If left unaddressed, these issues may lead to chronic pain lasting for months or even years. Senara Health and Healing Center & Spa in Peoria offers natural recovery solutions, focusing on spinal alignment and overall healing for auto and personal injuries.

Auto & Personal Injury

Auto injuries often cause problems in the areas of the body that are most likely to spark pain both locally and throughout your body, including the neck, shoulders, and back. Your central nervous system is deeply tied to your spine’s well-being, so even a slight misalignment can cause pain to radiate throughout other parts of your body. Unfortunately, auto accidents can cause your spine and joints to come out of alignment easily when your body is jolted or jerked during the impact. In addition to alignment issues, auto accidents can also cause strains or other soft tissue damage — soft tissue meaning muscle, ligaments, tendons, and other parts of your body that connect and support your bones and organs. All of this adds up to explain the reason you still feel pain, even weeks or months after an auto accident. 

Likewise, personal injury can often have lingering results that you may not be able to see. Personal injury is a term that encapsulates a wide range of different injury causes but generally refers to an injury to your person caused by someone else’s actions or negligence. This includes problems derived from repetitive actions (like carpal tunnel), or injury from external forces (like slipping on a patch of ice). Many of these causes work similarly to auto accidents in that they are jarring enough to send your bones and joints out of alignment or strain muscle. It’s why you may feel pain without any visible signs like bruising. Senara in Peoria combines chiropractic techniques with physical therapy to address these issues, offering relief and healing.

It’s Not Too Late Or Too Soon

Ideally, seeking a Peoria chiropractor or physical therapist immediately after an injury is recommended. Early assessments and X-rays help identify injuries, even those not immediately felt. This proactive approach aims to prevent minor injuries from evolving into major pain. However, if immediate attention is not possible, it's never too late to seek physical therapy or chiropractic care. Whether you are dealing with flare-ups or ongoing pain months after an accident, the Peoria physical therapy team at Senara can assist.

Physical therapy is designed to treat current body issues and promote healing and strengthening. There's no point at which it becomes too late for a consultation.

If you've recently been in an accident or experience ongoing pain, whether in the neck, back, or elsewhere, consider scheduling a consultation with Senara Health and Healing Center & Spa in Peoria to begin your road to recovery.
