Auto Accident Injuries

Common Auto Accident Injuries

Auto accidents are a common occurrence and can cause various injuries. While many people may seek medical treatment at a hospital, often, chiropractic care is overlooked. Chiropractic care can be an effective treatment for auto accident injuries and help you get back to your regular routine faster. If you've sustained an auto accident injury, it's crucial to consult with a chiropractor to determine the best course of treatment.

At Buenaventura Lakes Chiropractic in Kissimmee, we provide treatment for auto accident injuries. Dr. Andrés is experienced in treating various injuries and conditions, including shoulder pain, whiplash, and more. Let’s look at some of the common injuries that we can address.

Whiplash

This is one of the most common injuries associated with car accidents. Whiplash occurs when your head is suddenly and forcefully jerked forward or backward, causing your neck muscles and ligaments to stretch and tear. Symptoms of whiplash can include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Visit our chiropractor if you are experiencing any of these symptoms following an accident.

Shoulder Injury

The impact of a car accident can also cause a shoulder injury. This can include damage to the muscles and tendons that surround your shoulder and the shoulder joint itself. Some symptoms of shoulder injuries include pain in the shoulder and upper arm, limited range of motion, swelling, and stiffness. If you cannot move your arm or are experiencing a lot of pain, it's vital to see a chiropractor right away.

Herniated Discs

The force of a car accident can also cause a herniated disc. This occurs when the gel-like center of a disc bulges through the wall of its surrounding material. This can cause nerve compression and severe pain in the neck or lower back. If you are experiencing pain, numbness, or tingling in your neck, back, or extremities, it's imperative to get treatment from a chiropractor.

Headaches and Concussions

Even though you may not have suffered a direct head injury during an auto accident, sudden jerking motions can cause headaches and possible concussions. If you hit your head on the steering wheel or window, this can also happen. If you are experiencing headaches, dizziness, and loss of consciousness following an accident, it is crucial to consult with a chiropractor right away.

Chiropractic Care for Auto Accident Injuries

When you visit our chiropractor, you can expect a thorough examination to determine the source and severity of your pain. Once the underlying cause of your pain is determined, a customized treatment plan will be created to address your specific needs. Some of the chiropractic treatments that may be used to treat your auto accident injuries include adjustments, massage therapy, spinal decompression, ice/heat therapies, and more.
