Common Auto Accident Injuries We Treat

Auto accidents can affect the spine, muscles, ligaments, and nerves, leading to acute or chronic pain. Our team treats a wide range of accident-related conditions, including:

Whiplash and neck pain from rapid back-and-forth movement
Upper back pain and lower back pain caused by strain or disc injury
Herniated disc or bulging disc leading to nerve compression
Lumbar radiculopathy and cervical radiculopathy causing radiating arm or leg pain
Facet joint disease, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease
Sciatica and neuropathy from nerve irritation
Muscle spasms and ligament sprains
Post-surgical pain following spine or orthopedic surgery
Chronic pain related to previous injuries or inflammation

These conditions are often caused by the sudden forces of impact that strain ligaments, shift vertebrae, or compress spinal nerves.

Symptoms of Auto Accident Injuries

Injuries may not appear immediately after a collision. Common symptoms to watch for include:

Neck or back pain
Stiffness and limited range of motion
Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs
Headaches or blurred vision
Shoulder or joint pain
Muscle tightness and spasms
Difficulty concentrating or fatigue

If symptoms persist or worsen after an accident, a thorough evaluation by a pain management specialist can help prevent long-term issues.

Diagnosing Auto Accident Injuries

Our team uses a combination of advanced diagnostics to identify hidden injuries and determine the most effective treatment plan. Your evaluation may include:

Medical history and physical exam to assess movement and pain patterns
X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to identify bone, ligament, or disc damage
Pain mapping to locate the source of pain
Diagnostic nerve blocks to confirm nerve involvement

This thorough approach ensures accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment for lasting results.

FAQs Auto Accident Injury Treatment

How soon should I see a doctor after a car accident?

Ideally within a few days. Even if you feel fine, symptoms like stiffness or nerve pain may appear later. Early diagnosis prevents complications.

Can chiropractic care and physical therapy help after a car accident?

Yes. These treatments work together to improve spinal alignment, strengthen muscles, and restore range of motion.

Do I need imaging for whiplash or back pain?

Imaging like X-rays or MRI can rule out serious injuries such as fractures, disc herniation, or ligament tears.

What if my pain becomes chronic?

We specialize in chronic pain management, offering treatments like radiofrequency neurotomy, ketamine infusions, and neuromodulation for long-term relief.

Are treatments covered by insurance?

Many treatments are covered. Our staff will review your insurance benefits and help coordinate any necessary documentation.
