What Injuries Can Result From a Car Accident?

Auto accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, including:

• Whiplash
• Neck pain
• Back pain
• Sciatica
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Muscle strains and sprains
• Joint injuries
• Shoulder pain
• Headaches
• Post-concussion symptoms
• Nerve irritation

Because symptoms may be delayed, a thorough evaluation is important even if you feel relatively fine immediately after an accident.

Common Symptoms After a Car Accident

Car accident injuries can present differently from person to person. Common symptoms may include:

• Neck pain or stiffness
• Lower back pain
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Shoulder pain
• Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
• Reduced range of motion
• Muscle tightness
• Fatigue
• Difficulty sleeping
• Pain when sitting, standing, or driving

Many patients are surprised to discover that symptoms can appear several days after the accident itself.

Who Is This Treatment For?

Our approach to car accident injury treatment may be beneficial if you are experiencing:

• Whiplash injuries
• Neck pain after an accident
• Back pain after an accident
• Sciatica symptoms following a collision
• Headaches or migraines after an accident
• Stiffness and reduced mobility
• Ongoing pain despite rest or medication
• Injuries from recent or past auto accidents

Who Is This NOT For?

While chiropractic care can help many accident-related injuries, some conditions require emergency medical care or specialized medical management.

You may not be a candidate if you have:

• Certain fractures requiring immediate stabilization
• Severe traumatic injuries requiring emergency treatment
• Conditions requiring immediate surgical intervention
• Medical emergencies that have not been evaluated by a physician

Every patient undergoes a comprehensive consultation and evaluation to determine the safest and most appropriate treatment plan.
