 Imagine yourself in traffic, driving home after a long day at work. Although you are in the fast lane everyone is at a standstill. You hear sirens in the distance and think to yourself, "A car accident must be causing all this traffic." It never crosses your mind that you're about to be the unfortunate victim of a high speed police chase, which will result in a personal injury case. The sirens quickly become louder, then there is a loud crash and you are thrust forward as a car violently plows into yours. As your brain tries to make sense of what just happened, you see two police officers pulling a man out of the car that just crashed into yours. The perpetrator looks over and you lock eyes with him. The terrifying yet stoic look on his face is imprinted in your mind. Following the accident, you can't sleep and when you manage to get some rest, you have nightmares. Focusing on anything becomes increasingly difficult and depression begins to set in. You essentially experience post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) without being able to shake the memory of the car accident. This is the real-life case of a patient in my practice. Most of us generally relate PTSD to war veterans or victims of of domestic abuse. However, PTSD after a car accident is more common than publicized. Chiropractic care after an accident is vital to the healing, but in the case of PTSD, a person will benefit from taking Vitamin B3, also known as Inositol. Studies have shown that Vitamin B3 in large doses will reduce the symptoms of PTSD. If have been in a car accident and you are experiencing, even mild symptoms of PTSD, we recommend you visit your local chiropractor and add Vitamin B3 to your line of supplements.
