Wheat Ridge Chiropractor Provides Car Accident Injury Treatment

Anytime you’re in a car accident, you should immediately be checked for injuries. Even in a low-speed automobile accident, the sudden forces on your body can cause injury, particularly to the delicate structures of the neck. The tricky thing about some auto injuries is that the symptoms of the injury may not manifest for hours or even days after the crash. Don’t wait for pain—contact your Wheat Ridge chiropractor at Well Beings for a checkup to catch any injuries before they get worse.

 

Neck Pain and Stiffness after an Auto Accident? Whiplash and Other Injuries:

Whiplash is the most common auto accident injury. It happens when sudden force jolts your head from one direction to another. This strains the muscles, ligaments, tendons and vertebrae in your neck—yet notoriously, the following whiplash symptoms are often delayed.

  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Headaches
  • Vision disturbances
  • Fatigue
  • Trouble concentrating

In addition to whiplash symptoms, a vehicle accident may also cause other injuries that manifest as:

  • Shoulder pain
  • Arm pain
  • Back pain
  • Numbness and tingling in the extremities
  • Sciatica
  • Hip pain
  • Knee pain
  • Foot pain

The longer these symptoms go on, the longer it may take to reverse the damage. So it’s important to schedule an appointment for chiropractic care as soon as you can after the accident. The sooner you can visit your chiropractor for a checkup after any car accident, the faster you can feel better, or possibly even avoid the pain with preemptive chiropractic care. These spinal adjustments release pinched nerves so your nervous system can direct healing resources right where they’re needed after an injury.
