Being in a car accident is something no one wants to experience. We do our best to avoid car accident injuries and drive safely. When an accident does occur, there are so many things to think about with insurance and getting your car fixed.

It’s easy to overlook your body’s needs by toughing it out or hoping that your symptoms go away or improve on their own. However, your body and its well being should be the first thing on your mind. Going to a car accident chiropractor will allow you to put your body first and recover fully.

Injuries

It’s no secret that a car accident can cause injury to your body. Most car accident injuries do not require surgery or healing of broken bones. Even so, these non-traumatic injuries are still a very real problem for you to deal with.

Whiplash is the most common problem in a car accident, but any part of your body that is jarred harshly can experience soft tissue injuries that stem from over-extended ligaments and muscles, as well as pinched nerves.

Symptoms

If you have the following symptoms you are probably dealing with the results of whiplash from your car accident:

• Neck stiffness with reduced range of motion
• Any type of headache
• Dizziness for days after accident
• Shoulder pain
• Low back pain
• Blurry vision

These symptoms can be greatly diminished by chiropractic treatments. These treatments adjust the spine to alleviate pain and help your body function properly.

Diagnostics

Diagnostics play an important role in determining the extent of your injuries, helping to uncover things like broken bones and torn ligaments or tendons. This provides the correct documentation so you can get the right compensation for your injuries.

Diagnostics consist of MRI, CT Scans and X-rays. A chiropractor will combine what they learn from the imaging with orthopedic and neurological tests to assess soft tissue damage and range of motion, as well as joint and nerve function.
