Auto Accident Injury FAQs

Being involved in an automobile crash can be a difficult event that changes one’s life without notice. While some individuals may face immediate and serious injuries from the car collision, others may not feel pain until days, sometimes weeks, later. We at the Advanced Chiropractic Pain & Wellness Center in Temecula, CA, offer non-invasive treatment options to treat you after an auto accident.  We are here to help.

Which Injuries Are Common after an Auto Accident?

The cause and symptoms of any auto accident injury might vary depending on the specific circumstances. While some injuries present immediately, others may take a sometime to appear. Injuries to the musculoskeletal system are common injuries from an automobile accident. Examples include -

• Whiplash.
• Strained muscles.
• Pinched nerves.
• Torn ligaments.
• Dislocated or herniated discs/bones.

A chiropractor possesses the skills and knowledge required to potentially help reduce pain, improve one’s mobility and range of motion, or any other debilitating consequences of a car crash injury.

What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash might occur when you are a driver or passenger that is in a vehicle that has been hit from behind with great force. The impact of the crash whips your head back and forth in such an intense motion that the tissue and muscles in the area become damaged and inflamed – leading to discomfort, pain, and a loss of mobility/range of motion.

Whiplash Symptoms might include:

• Inexplicable dizziness or lightheadedness.
• Headaches.
• Loss of motion in the neck region.
• Numbness through your arm and hand.
• A loss of motion or inability to move your neck without pain.

Should You See a Chiropractor after an Automobile Accident?

Even if there is no initial pain right away, it can be a good idea for a chiropractor to evaluate your condition because the shock of the crash may cause you to override the natural pain signals of other injuries.
