Try Yoga After a Car Accident

If you’ve recently been involved in a no-fault collision, there are several avenues you can take to get yourself back to feeling good. Regular chiropractic adjustments are definitely one of the best paths toward this goal, and you can get there even faster if you make yoga a part of your routine between visits. Try yoga after a car accident if you want to start feeling less pain and less stress in your day-to-day.

Why Try Yoga After a Car Accident?

At Williamsburg Chiropractic, we’ve worked with many patients over the past 20+ years who have struggled with pain after an auto collision. That’s not limited to physical pain caused by hidden injuries, either. A car crash is a traumatic experience that can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being as well.

Yoga is a great tool to push through that pain on all fronts. Some of the best yoga positions—downward-facing dog, cat and cow, and child’s pose—are extremely effective at counteracting pain caused by whiplash. Performing these poses regularly can help reduce nagging pain and strengthen your muscles so that you’ll feel less pain moving forward.

In terms of your stress and anxiety, yoga is hard to beat. All the best yoga positions require focusing on the connection between your mind and your body. By directing your energy toward that synchronicity, you’re able to let go of your thoughts, breathe deeply, and relax. The feeling you get from practicing yoga after a car accident will stay with you, keeping you feeling calmer throughout your day and helping reduce your stress response.

Try Yoga and Chiropractic Care Together

Yoga and chiropractic adjustments have similar upsides for people who have been involved in a no-fault collision. So if you try yoga and pair it with your regular chiropractic care routine, you’ll amplify the results and put yourself in a position (or yoga pose, as it were) to recover more quickly and feel better longer.

The idea of any kind of exercise may not seem easy if you’re going through pain, but regular chiropractic adjustments after a car accident can help you push through. We’ll find the sources of your pain—including hidden injuries that may not immediately manifest after a collision—then relieve that pain and make sure that it stays gone. Once you feel up to being active, opting to try yoga between your visits helps you through the phases of care and gets you back to where you were before.
