If you or a loved one is ever involved in an auto accident, we encourage you to get in touch with us. Our services can help you feel better as soon as possible and help you avoid long-term complications associated with untreated or under-treated auto accident injuries.
Common types of auto accident injuries
- Whiplash — neck pain and stiffness caused by rapid forward and backward movement of the neck; may also cause shoulder pain, shoulder stiffness, headaches, and jaw pain
- Concussion — direct or indirect head trauma can cause headaches, confusion, mental fogginess, and trouble sleeping, with or without loss of consciousness at the time of the accident
- Back pain — often due to direct trauma, connective tissue strain, spinal joint misalignment, and/or disc herniation or bulge
- Shoulder pain — often due to seat belt restraints, brachial plexus strain injury, rotator cuff tear, or dislocation
- Nerve impingement — sciatica or radiculopathy can cause numbness, tingling, and shooting or burning pain in a limb
How we diagnose, manage and treat these injuries
It's important to realize injuries can occur even in seemingly minor fender benders, where you may end up more banged up than your car. Additionally, it can take some time for injuries to reveal any symptoms, since pain-masking hormones often surge during the fight-or-flight response during trauma. The point is: see a chiropractor after an auto accident of any severity, whether you feel “fine” or not. You never know what type of trouble is brewing, and the earlier you seek treatment, the better your chances of a full recovery.
Our natural services to reduce pain, stiffness, swelling, and other auto accident injury symptoms include chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises, massage, and lifestyle counseling such as ergonomics training at work and even in your car.
