Motor Vehicle Accident/Personal Injury
More than 2.3 million adult drivers and passengers were treated in emergency departments as the result of being injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2009.[1]
The most common injuries from Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA) are:
- Whiplash
- Back Injury
- Head trauma
- Knee damage
How We Are Different
Reduce Dural Tension
The brain and spinal cord cannot have any pressure on it. There is a connective tissue that protects them both, the dura mater or dura, is the outermost of the three layers of the meninges surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The dura surrounds the brain and the spinal cord and is responsible for keeping in the cerebrospinal fluid. The name "dura mater" is derived from the Latin "hard mother" or "tough mother".[2] The dura attaches to the periosteum, the connective tissues of the bone, of the boney protuberances inside the scull and on every level of the spine.
The brain and spinal cord cannot have any pressure on it. So if there is a subluxation in the spine or the cranium and the dural tension is not addressed the subluxation can return again and again in order to keep that pressure off the brain and the spinal cord.
Comprehensive Nutritional Strategies
There are several things to consider when you have had a trauma
1. Your current nutritional status
Our bodies require a variety of vitamins and minerals everyday to function optimally. In the case of trauma, you can cut your healing time in half if you have to right nutrients.
2. The strength
of your immune system
3. Your body’s ability to detoxify
When your body has an impaired ability to detoxify it becomes acid, that environment potentiates inflammation and prevents the elimination of pain.
