Chiropractic Care for Auto Accidents

Injuries are a typical phenomenon after an automobile accident. Whether the accident was a serious collision or a minor fender bender, the chances of leaving the accident scene unscathed are rare. Regardless of the nature of the accident, it's prudent to see a chiropractor for professional care, even when you have no visible injuries. Treating your injuries immediately after the car accident makes the recovery process easy and prevents the injuries from becoming chronic.

Have you been involved in a car accident in Springdale, AR? Book an appointment with Advanced Healthcare NWA. After diagnosing your auto injury, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that will help you fully recover.

What Are Common Auto Accident Injuries?

During a car accident, you can get injured due to the impact causing you or objects in the vehicle to move around uncontrollably. Common auto accident injuries we see at our clinic include:

  • Soft tissue injuries: The impact during a car accident damages the body's connective tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
  • Whiplash: This condition is caused by a sudden force causing unnatural forward and backward motion of the neck and head. This causes tears in the muscles and ligaments in the upper neck and back. Typical symptoms of whiplash include headaches, dizziness, neck pain, and stiffness.
  • Back pain: Herniated discs or soft tissue injuries can cause back pain after an accident. The spinal cord is susceptible to sudden and unnatural forces in an auto accident, leading to excessive strain and misalignments in the spinal column.
  • Head and neck pain: Damage to the neck and head is also common in car accidents. Head injuries range from a minor concussion to a more severe brain injury. Neck injuries involve the joints, bones, and muscles in the neck.

Since some auto injuries like whiplash may not cause pain or discomfort immediately after the accident, it's one of the reasons you must see a chiropractor after an accident. We can pinpoint the root cause of your symptoms and work with you throughout the recovery process.

How Our Chiropractors Can Help
