Common Car Accident Injuries
Depending on the kind of accident you were involved in—a rear-end
collision, a head-on accident or a side impact crash—you may be dealing
with any number of injuries. Some of the more common car accident injuries
are:
- Whiplash. This injury happens when the car you’re in stops abruptly, forcefully throwing your head forward and then back. Learn More
- Back and neck pain. The force of a car accident can seriously damage your neck or back. Both disc injuries and facet joint injuries may result, and both are painful. Learn More
- A headache can develop at anytime after an accident and requires immediate medical attention, because it may be a sign of concussion.
- Joint Pain. All of your joints—ankles, knees, hips, wrists, elbows and shoulders—are vulnerable to injury during a car accident.
Chiropractic Care After an Accident
Because you want to feel better as soon as possible after a car accident,
Dr. Z. recommends early care and treatment. The sooner you are evaluated, the
sooner he can put a treatment plan together to help you recover.
Even if your accident was only a minor fender-bender, pain from previously unnoticed injuries can show up a few days or possibly weeks later. So see a North Dallas chiropractor soon after an accident in order to avoid later developing pain.
Therapies Our Chiropractor Uses
Dr. Z. may recommend a number of different modalities of treatment to address your pain. These include:
- Spinal Decompression Therapy. If you’re experiencing pain due to a disc injury, then spinal decompression may be used. This treatment gently pulls the vertebra apart in order to create negative pressure inside the disc that promotes healing.
- Chiropractic Adjustment. This therapy is used to improve spinal motion and improve your body’s physical function. Proper alignment of the spine is important when you are healing from a car accident.
- rehabilitation. Muscle injury may occur because of an accident. rehabilitation combines low-impact aerobic exercise with stretching and gentle weight lifting to build strength and tone to injured muscles.
- Massage Therapy. A massage can help relieve pain and muscle stiffness. Areas of discomfort are targeted during massage therapy in order to improve circulation and reduce swelling and inflammation that may contribute to pain and discomfort.
