Auto Injury

Immediate and Delayed Symptoms

Injuries like fractures, cuts, concussions, and dislocations are usually apparent right after the accident. However, damage to muscles, blood vessels, and nerves may not manifest until months or even years later. These delayed symptoms can lead to significant health issues if not addressed promptly. Insurance companies may not cover treatments for injuries that are not immediately diagnosed, emphasizing the importance of a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional experienced in auto injuries.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers specializing in the musculoskeletal system. They play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating auto injuries, particularly those involving the spine. Whiplash is one of the most common injuries from car accidents, causing strain on the spine, muscles, ligaments, and nerves of the neck and back. Untreated whiplash can lead to chronic pain, headaches, and early degeneration of spinal vertebrae.

Muscular Sprains and Tendon or Ligament Strains

Muscular sprains and tendon or ligament strains typically occur when you engage in activities your body isn't accustomed to or experience accidents. Actions like lifting while twisting or stretching beyond your limits can lead to these painful conditions, often accompanied by swelling and bruising in the affected area. Such incidents can also alter the spine's alignment. Fortunately, back strains and sprains tend to respond well to chiropractic care.
