Common Auto Accident Injuries
Auto accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, some of which are pretty serious. Some of the most common auto accident injuries include:
Whiplash
Whiplash is a common injury caused by the sudden movement of the head, often in a car accident. The force of the impact can cause the tissues and muscles in the neck to stretch and tear. Whiplash can cause a range of symptoms, including neck pain, headaches, dizziness, and blurred vision.
Back Injuries
The force of the impact of an auto accident can cause the spine to compress or stretch, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
Brain Injury
An auto accident can cause a brain injury if your head is hit or jolted violently. Brain injuries can cause a range of symptoms, including headache, nausea, confusion, and loss of consciousness.
Internal Injuries
An auto accident can cause internal injuries if the body is thrown against or within the car. Internal injuries can include organ damage, bleeding, and broken bones.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Auto Injury Victims
Chiropractic care has proven to help auto injury victims recover from their injuries. An auto accident chiropractor specializes in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal problems, providing relief from pain and stiffness, and improving joint function. The following are ways in which chiropractic care helps with auto accident injuries:
Reduces Pain and Inflammation
Chiropractic treatments such as spinal adjustments and massage therapy can help reduce inflammation and pain. They allow you to move more freely and with less pain, which can be especially helpful in the early stages of healing.
Restores Range of Motion
If you've been in a car accident, you may have experienced some loss of range of motion. Chiropractic care can help restore range of motion and improve flexibility.

How The Body Heals
Stages of Healing:
1. Inflammation / Acute Stage
This is the most difficult time for the patient. You are hurting and need relief. We can help you reduce the pain within a short period of time. Understanding soft tissue injuries helps us eliminate pain quickly and effectively.
2. Remodeling of Soft Tissue
This is one of the most important stages and happens after approximately 2 weeks of injury. In this stage, it is important to have the right therapies. Soft tissue that is healed improperly will cause future exacerbations that can be avoided. It is VERY important you seek a facility that does more than just spinal manipulation.
3. Rehabilitation
Once you are feeling better it is time to make sure it last. Rehabilitation should start as early as 4 weeks after the accident. Strengthening exercises are important for stability. Endurance is important for long lasting physical stresses. Range of Motion exercises is important to keep you mobile. By isolating the weaknesses in your spine, arms, legs, etc… we customize a treatment schedule to get you stable as quickly as possible.
