Car Accident Injury Treatment

car accident injury chiropractic treatments

Automobile accidents are among the most common reasons for seeking chiropractic care. Even a minor fender-bender can cause whiplash, herniated discs, and other injuries.

Dr. Goldman specializes in caring for patients with car accident injuries. He gives every patient a thorough evaluation and provides a treatment plan, referring them to a specialist if necessary. Dr. Goldman advises potential patients to seek a hospital examination as soon as possible after an accident and to seek chiropractic care upon release.

Total Chiro offers a wide variety of treatments to address injuries stemming from car accidents. These include spinal manipulation, trigger point therapy, corrective exercises, lifestyle and ergonomic advice, relaxation therapy, physical therapy, muscle stimulation therapy, massage therapy, and more.


Other Accident Injuries

We treat sprains; strains; joint dislocations; arm, back, neck, and hand pain; carpal tunnel syndrome, and other accident or strain-related issues.


Spinal Decompression

spinal decompression treatment in chiropractic

Spinal decompression is a traction-based treatment that gently stretches the spine, relieving pressure on discs and nerves. This pressure can stem from an injury or normal wear and tear on the spine, causing pain, tingling, and numbness. Relieving the pressure helps to ease these symptoms. Spinal decompression also promotes the flow of oxygen and fluids into spinal structures, improving their health and ability to heal. It can help herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, sciatica, facet syndrome, and tingling or numbness in the hands or feet.


Massage Therapy

Chiropractic Techniques & Services from Total ChiroMassage therapy stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal itself without the use of medication. This safe and effective holistic form of pain management can maintain optimal health by relieving stress and improving circulation. Other benefits may include lowered heart rate and blood pressure, improved immune function, and increased energy.

Total Chiro offers several forms of massage therapy, including trigger point therapy, Swedish massage therapy, and hydro massage therapy. Trigger point therapy involves the use of isolated pressure in specific areas to release knotted muscles. Swedish massage uses kneading, tapping, friction, sliding, and vibration to apply pressure on areas of concern. It can relieve stress, reduce joint stiffness, and drain lymph glands. Hydro massage therapy uses constant, targeted streams of water to release muscle pain and tension and to increase circulation.


Trigger Point Therapy

trigger point therapyTrigger point therapy relieves chronic muscular pain by loosening spasming or “knotted” muscles and tight fascia. When touched, a trigger point may be uncomfortable, sore, painful, tight, or tender. Trigger points can cause muscle shortening, leading to a limited range of motion in the impacted area or to referred pain felt in a different location when the trigger point is touched.

When trigger points are released, either manually or with needles or other tools, blood flow returns to constricted muscles or fascia, and symptoms abate. It is a quick, non-invasive procedure that typically shows immediate results. Trigger point therapy is useful after accidents, misuse, or overuse, and for misalignment, disc problems, and spine issues. It is especially effective for shoulder pain, tennis elbow, chest wall muscular pain, upper or lower back pain, sciatica, knee pain, or ankle pain.


Magnesphere Therapy

magnesphereMagnesphere, or magnetic resonance therapy, uses low-level magnetic fields to rebalance the patient’s autonomic nervous system (ANS). This helps switch off the fight-or-flight response that contributes to chronic stress, which in turn wreaks havoc on the body. Magnesphere therapy restores balance to the nervous system, reducing symptoms associated with chronic stress like inflammation, pain, low energy, weight gain, mood swings, poor sleep, and digestive issues. Magnesphere’s “enhancing relaxation” claim is backed by the FDA.


Cold Laser Therapy

Low-laser therapy chiropractic treatmentCold laser therapy is a form of non-invasive low-level light therapy (LLLT) using infrared light to stimulate cell function. This safe, quick, and painless treatment utilizes a hand-held device applied directly to the injured or painful area of the body. Treatment reduces swelling and repairs tissues by allowing oxygen and nutrients to enter cells and improve their health. Cold therapy also makes cells more permeable, allowing them to release wastes and toxins. Cold laser therapy may be used to treat arthritis, muscle spasms, back pain, neck pain, knee pain, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, sprains or ligament pain, diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, or temporomandibular jaw disorder (TMJ).


Epidural Treatment

doctor administering an epidural shotEpidural spinal injection uses a hypodermic needle to deliver medication directly to the source of back or neck pain, typically caused by inflamed spinal nerves. Steroid medication, compounded with an anesthetic, diminishes inflammation and discomfort, dulling pain experienced in the affected area. Epidural treatment is especially effective for spinal stenosis or a herniated disc. It can help to reduce back pain and decrease or eliminate muscle weakness in the legs, buttocks, or hips. The process takes approximately 30 minutes, and the patient is monitored for up to an hour afterward. Results may not be permanent but can last for months.


Physical Therapy

physical therapyWhen an injury or medical condition impacts mobility or functionality, physical therapy can help patients get back to normal. Where chiropractic treatment addresses the cause of the injury, physical therapy treats its symptoms, such as pain, stiffness, or limited range of motion. Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness offers physical therapy as a complement to chiropractic treatment, providing full recovery services. Physical therapy can decrease or eliminate pain; help patients avoid surgery; improve mobility and balance; aid in stroke recovery; prevent sports injuries; treat diabetic and vascular conditions, and help to manage heart and lung conditions.


Lifestyle Advice

lifestyle advice with your chiropractic treatment planTotal Chiro views each patient as a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach wellness and total health. Lifestyle coaching encourages better habits to ensure the best outcomes. Through recommendations on a combination of diet, exercise, sleep, chiropractic treatments, physical therapy, proper lifting, and movement techniques, the goal is to manage pain as a first line of defense and to avoid surgery and medications whenever possible. Additional benefits of a balanced life include faster healing and an improvement in overall health. Some conditions that can be addressed with lifestyle coaching include aging, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, obesity, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes.


Corrective Chiropractic Exercises

corrective exercise plans and treatments

As part of our holistic approach to care, we teach our patients “blueprint” corrective exercises to strengthen and correct irregularities in their bodies that may cause pain. Targeted stretches and corrective exercises align the skeletal structure, address muscles and connective tissues that are out of place, and complement an overall chiropractic care plan. Corrective exercises can also be effective in managing neck pain, back pain, and headaches.


Nutritional Counseling

nutritional counseling with chiropractic care

Good nutrition is essential for optimal health. Total Chiro offers counseling on healthy food choices and nutritional supplements to help patients achieve total health and balance within their body. We can provide a structured nutritional program based on one’s individual needs and offer recommendations for nutritional supplements.


Spinal and Postural Screenings

spinal and postural screenings

Postural and spinal screenings are used to locate stress points and misalignments within the body. These screenings reveal a wealth of information, pinpointing causes of pain and discomfort, and unlocking the door to improved health and well-being. Total Chiro provides spinal and postural screenings throughout the community, at health fairs, workplaces, and events. Contact us at (631) 447-2299 to have a screening in our office or arrange a screening at your event or workplace.


New York State DOT Physical Exams For CDL

NYS DOT physical exams to receive your CDL

Total Chiro offers physical examinations for commercial driver’s license (CDL) drivers. These exams are required by the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) to ensure CDL candidates or license holders are healthy enough to drive. We are an approved medical examiner and will fill out the required forms, after which an approved certificate will be valid from three months to two years, depending on the patient’s medical history.
