Auto Accident Injuries and Chiropractic Treatment

No matter how carefully you drive, you cannot dismiss the possibility of getting into a car accident. An auto accident is a traumatic event, both physically and psychologically. Even a minor collision can have a major negative effect on your health. Statistically, almost 2.7 million people get injured in car accidents annually, which is about 5 people per minute. At Walker Chiropractic and Wellness, our chiropractor has years of experience providing Mirmar, FL residents with auto accident injury treatment. 

Most Common Types of Auto Accident Injuries

Here is a list of the most common injuries caused by car accidents:

• Whiplash
• Injuries to internal organs
• Brain injuries
• Chest and neck injuries
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Back injuries

The most common signs of car accident injury include bruising, headache, back and shoulder pain, abdominal pain, ringing in the ears, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.

When Should You See a Doctor After an Accident?

It is important to see a doctor as soon as possible. Even if you do not have obvious symptoms of an injury, you still should see a specialist, who will be able to determine whether you have sustained an injury or not. It is important to remember that the diagnosis of severe car injuries can be delayed because people do not always have symptoms right away.

How Can a Chiropractor Help?

You should consult a chiropractic specialist as soon as possible after being involved in an auto accident. Our chiropractor will evaluate your musculoskeletal system to identify any damage or misalignment. Once the root cause of your pain has been determined, we will create a chiropractic care plan tailored to your needs. Chiropractic adjustments will vary depending on the type, location, and severity of your injuries. We effectively treat all types of auto accident injuries including neck and back injuries, whiplash, post-traumatic stress disorder, and more.
