Auto Accident

The Most Common
Auto Accident Injury

Soft tissue injuries can lead to a range of symptoms that may not immediately be linked to a car accident. For example, a persistent headache might not seem related to a crash. It's important to seek medical attention promptly after any serious accident to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.

Whiplash

Whiplash, a frequent result of car accidents, is a type of soft tissue injury that occurs when the neck and head are forcefully jerked. This can strain the ligaments and muscles. While many people recover from whiplash within a few weeks with treatment, some may experience chronic neck pain or other long-term complications. It's essential to seek appropriate specialized medical attention promptly after a car accident to begin treatment and minimize the risk of lasting effects. Seek chiropractic care promptly after a car accident. Early treatment can help minimize symptoms and speed up recovery.

Other Injuries

Signs of spinal cord injury can emerge days or weeks after an accident. Untreated, these injuries often lead to permanent changes in sensation, strength, and bodily functions below the injury site.

Untreated, spinal cord injuries can have profound emotional, mental, social, and physical consequences. Your physical abilities depend on the severity and location of the injury.

Beyond the loss of motor control, other signs of spinal cord injury include:

• Migraine

• Neck or shoulder pain or stiffness

• Exaggerated spasms

• Numbness or tingling

• Back pain

• Cognitive changes

Treatment

To treat whiplash, your Chirorelief chiropractor will use spinal
manipulation techniques to release tension and pain. By gently moving the damaged joint, they can restore normal neck motion and alleviate discomfort.

In addition to spinal manipulation, your chiropractor may use therapy modalities like gentle massage to reduce inflammation. Many patients experience immediate relief after the first session, and pain and
tension typically subside over the course of treatment.

Your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs and may
involve multiple visits. We offer a variety of treatment methods to ensure you receive the best care possible.

If your injury is related to a car accident or work injury, your visit may be covered by your auto insurance PIP coverage or worker's compensation plan.
