Auto accident injuries

common auto accident injuries

  • Whiplash: A rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck that causes stiffness, pain, and headaches.
  • Back pain: Strained muscles, herniated discs, or spinal misalignment can cause lingering pain.
  • Neck pain: Tension and nerve irritation from the impact can restrict movement and cause soreness.
  • Headaches & migraines: Spinal misalignment and muscle tension often trigger post-accident headaches.
  • Shoulder pain: Seatbelt force or bracing for impact can strain the shoulder muscles and joints.
  • Nerve pain or numbness: Pinched nerves can lead to tingling, burning sensations, or weakness in the arms and legs.

The Importance of Early Treatment After an Auto Accident

  • Detect Hidden Injuries – Some symptoms, like whiplash, can take days or weeks to develop.
  • Prevent Long-Term Damage – Minor misalignments can worsen over time, leading to chronic pain.
  • Improve Mobility & Flexibility – Early adjustments help reduce stiffness and inflammation.
  • Support Natural Healing – Non-invasive treatments help your body heal without medications or surgery.
