Healing After a Car Accident with Therapeutic Massage

The sudden jolt of a car accident can leave you with more than just a damaged vehicle. It often results in deep muscle pain, stiffness, and injuries like whiplash that can significantly impact your daily life. At Accident & Wellness Chiropractic, our licensed massage therapists in Portland, OR specialize in therapeutic massage designed specifically to address and heal auto accident injuries.

Massage therapy is a critical component of a successful recovery plan. We focus on healing the soft tissues—your muscles, ligaments, and tendons—that have been strained and traumatized during a collision.

How Therapeutic Massage Accelerates Your Auto Injury Recovery

After an accident, your body’s natural response is to tense up to protect the injured areas. This leads to muscle spasms, inflammation, and painful "knots" or adhesions. Our targeted massage techniques work to directly counteract these issues by:

  • Relieving Muscle Pain and Spasms: By applying specific pressure, we can release the deep muscle tension that causes pain and stiffness in the neck, back, and shoulders after an accident.
  • Reducing Inflammation: Therapeutic massage improves circulation, helping to flush out inflammatory substances from the injured tissues and bring in nutrient-rich blood to accelerate healing.
  • Restoring Range of Motion: Whiplash and other injuries create stiffness that limits your ability to move comfortably. Massage therapy breaks down scar tissue and adhesions, restoring flexibility to your joints and muscles.
  • Alleviating Stress and Anxiety: The emotional toll of an accident is real. Massage helps calm the nervous system, reducing stress and allowing your body to focus its energy on healing.

Massage and Chiropractic: A Powerful Combination for Healing

At Accident & Wellness Chiropractic, we believe in a comprehensive approach to your recovery. Massage therapy and chiropractic care work together powerfully to provide more complete and lasting relief.

While chiropractic adjustments focus on correcting spinal and joint alignment, therapeutic massage addresses the supporting muscles and soft tissues. A relaxed muscle is less likely to pull a newly adjusted joint out of alignment. By treating both the skeletal structure and the muscular system, we ensure your body heals correctly and efficiently. You will likely find that a combination of these therapies is recommended as part of your personalized treatment plan.
