Why Chiropractic for Auto Accidents?

Receiving the proper care for your injuries after an auto accident should be your number one priority. But in some cases, those injuries aren’t so obvious.

Auto accidents can traumatize the body in different ways, from soft tissue injuries to spinal misalignments. If left untreated, these minor issues can lead to serious health conditions over time.

For head injuries, broken bones, and other serious injuries, it’s important to seek medical attention right away. For all other conditions, including those you might not see or feel right away, chiropractic care is your best option.

Chiropractic takes an in-depth approach to assess your physical health and any underlying issues that might stem from your auto accident. Your chiropractor can recommend the best course of action to help you heal from the inside out and put your accident’s physical trauma in the rearview mirror.

Common Physical Ailments Due To Auto Accidents

Any time your body is suddenly jerked out of its normal state can cause injury, even if you appear to be fine on the outside. From head-on collisions to small fender benders, it’s important that you receive a thorough examination and get on the path to healing as soon as possible.

Benefits of post-accident chiropractic care includes:

  • Reduced Inflammation
  • Minimized Pain
  • Restored Range of Motion
  • Reduced Scar Tissue
  • Non-Invasive Therapies

Examples of physical health concerns after an auto accident include:

  • WHIPLASH
    Whiplash is a type of neck injury caused a sudden back-and-forth movement, similar to the cracking of a whip. It’s one of the most common auto accident injuries we treat here at Active Edge Chiropractic. Symptoms of whiplash include neck stiffness, pain when moving the neck, limited range of motion in the neck, headaches, fatigue, and dizziness. Unlike some auto accident injuries, symptoms of whiplash might not appear immediately following the incident.
  • NECK, BACK, AND SHOULDER PAIN
    Car accidents are usually felt throughout the entire body. Your core often takes the brunt of the impact, which results in neck, back, and/or shoulder pain. While some pain after an accident is to be expected, it should not be considered “normal,” as pain is the body’s equivalent to a car’s “Check Engine” light.
  • HERNIATED DISCS
    The soft cushions that separate your vertebrae may bulge after a car accident. This can cause excruciating back pain, as well as numbness or weakness in the arms or legs.
  • CONCUSSION
    A serious injury that can occur when the head is thrown around, even if the head does not make physical contact with the vehicle or anything
  • SOFT TISSUE INJURIES
    Accidents can cause trauma that affects the skin, tendons, ligaments, and muscles
  • FRACTURES
    The forces sustained after from an impact by another vehicle can cause a crack/fracture in bones, including the spine.
