Difficulty Swallowing
We Can Relieve Swallowing Issues After an Auto Accident
Swallowing is an essential function. You do it when you consume food, drink water, or clear your throat. It is typically not a bodily function that garners two thoughts. But if you have difficulty swallowing, you can rest assured it will be top of mind until the issue is resolved. There are many reasons why this may occur, and among them is head or neck trauma. Whiplash, neck injuries, or brain injuries following an automobile accident can all lead to difficulty swallowing, otherwise known as dysphagia. Because of the nature of these injuries and their impact on your central nervous system, chiropractic care may be the best way to treat them. The team at Boston Chiropractic Spine & Injury Center is adept at treating these injuries and restoring your health and ability to swallow.

Injuries in Auto Accidents Can Make Swallowing Difficult
The violent nature of car accidents can have long-lasting effects that you may not even notice upon impact. Among those issues is an inability to swallow comfortably. Trauma to your muscles, bones, and ligaments can cause brain and nerve damage that make swallowing difficult. Your neck is largely unprotected – surrounded by only skin, muscles, and cartilage – which leaves it susceptible to injuries. When the impact of an automobile accident jars it in one direction and another, you may suffer nerve damage or spinal misalignment. Each of these factors can contribute to your difficulty swallowing. Additionally, you could suffer vocal cord paralysis. This is especially concerning because your vocal cords prevent food and drink from entering your trachea. Such a condition makes it hard to eat, swallow, and breathe. But chiropractic treatments can help reverse these issues.
