The Iowa City practice uses chiropractic adjustments to relieve chronic neck pain from car accidents and help patients heal following a injury.

By restoring alignment to the body, Dr. Thompson says he is able to correct the underlying injury, helping the body safely heal.
Dr. Kyle R. Thompson announced that his practice, Peak Performance Chiropractic Center, has had great success treating patients for . Dr. Thompson uses chiropractic adjustments to correct the underlying cause for injuries and help patients heal.
"Many patients do not realize that a car accident at speeds as slow as five miles per hour can cause serious damage to the musculoskeletal system," said Dr. Thompson. "Immediately following an accident, patients may feel sore or stiff, especially in the neck, shoulders and back."
Dr. Thompson emphasized that while prescription painkillers can temporarily relieve this stiffness or soreness, without properly treating the underlying injury, back pain will continue.
"Unfortunately, many people think their will just 'go away' over time as the body heals," said Dr. Thompson. "That's simply not the case -- and without proper treatment, patients will continue to experience headaches, neck and back pain throughout their lives."
One of the most common auto accident injuries is whiplash. This injury occurs when the force of a rear impact "whips" the neck backwards and forwards, pushing the cervical spine beyond its normal range of motion. This force can knock the cervical spine out of alignment, causing a herniated disc or other damage to the musculoskeletal system. Many patients experience , migraines and even difficulty concentrating following a .
"Chiropractic adjustments work by restoring alignment to the spine," said Dr. Thompson. "A misaligned disc can put pressure on nearby nerves, preventing the nerves from properly communicating with the brain. This can lead to chronic pain, fatigue, and even increase the risk for future injuries."
In addition to adjustments, Dr. Thompson also uses corrective care exercises to help patients regain a full range of motion and flexibility following an accident.
"When the body is stiff, sore, or injured, it will naturally restrict movement to protect an injured muscle," said Dr. Thompson, "An important part of the healing process is strengthening the body through corrective care exercises."
These include simple flexibility and weight training exercises that many patients can do from the comfort of their own homes.
Dr. Thompson also recommends massage therapy for his patients struggling with chronic pain. The act of massaging a muscle helps to relieve tension and stress while increasing flexibility. This helps the body safely move following a car accident injury.
"As a chiropractor, I believe in a 'whole body' approach to treatment," said Dr. Thompson. "My goal with every patient is not only to treat their immediate pain, but also to help strengthen their bodies to reduce the risk of future injury."
