Westwood Family Chiropractic in Winnipeg, Offers Safe Solutions for Car Accident Pain

Westwood Family Chiropractic Uses Blair Upper Cervical Technique and Pettibon System for Car Accident Pain

When you have a car accident, often injuries appear later causing neck, shoulder and back pain. At Westwood Family Chiropractic, they use safe techniques to heal pain after accidents. The chiropractors are trained in the Blair Upper Cervical Technique and Pettibon System. These methods use X-rays and physical exams to determine where the pain is located in the spine. They look at the spine for bones that are misaligned and out of place.

The Blair Upper Cervical Technique involves a physical exam, X-rays, and sometimes neurological tests to determine when the spine is misaligned. The doctor focuses on the cervical spine. It is a technique of adjustment that the chiropractor is trained to do. He manipulates the spine manually back into alignment. The patient lies on an adjustable table and different techniques are used on each patient. This technique relieves pain after serious car accidents and lasts six to eight weeks.

The Pettibon method uses head, shoulder and hip weights to straighten the spine. The patient wears them 20 minutes or during the day. The amount of weight and their placement depends on how badly the spine is misaligned. These weights strengthen the spine and build up the muscles. Each weight is designed for isometric exercise that helps restore muscles and align the spine.

These two techniques used by this Winnipeg chiropractor relieves pain, improve the range of motion and mobility, realigns the spine and improves flexibility. Sometimes the weight are combined with traditional physical therapy. Often the treatments includes specific exercises the patient must perform. Westwood Family Chiropractic focuses on exercise, nutrition, mindset and function to get to the heart of your pain.
