Car accidents can leave lasting effects on the body, causing pain, discomfort, and reduced mobility. Even minor collisions can lead to musculoskeletal injuries that, if left untreated, may develop into chronic conditions. At Farmington Healthcare & Chiropractic, we specialize in auto injury treatment, providing targeted care for whiplash, back pain, and other accident-related injuries to help you recover safely and effectively.
Understanding Auto Accident Injuries
Many auto accident injuries do not present immediate symptoms. Adrenaline and shock can mask pain for hours or even days after the incident. That’s why it’s crucial to seek medical attention and chiropractic care as soon as possible to prevent long-term complications.
Common Auto Accident Injuries We Treat
- Whiplash
One of the most common injuries, whiplash occurs when the neck is suddenly jerked forward and backward. This can result in:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Limited range of motion
- Muscle tension
- Back Pain and Spinal Misalignment
The impact of a car accident can cause spinal misalignment, leading to:
- Lower back pain
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica (pain radiating down the legs)
- Muscle spasms
- Soft Tissue and Musculoskeletal Injuries
Accidents can damage muscles, tendons, and ligaments, causing:
- Swelling and inflammation
- Reduced flexibility
- Joint pain
- Weakened mobility
- Headaches and Concussions
Even a minor collision can lead to head trauma, resulting in:
- Persistent headaches
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sensitivity to light and sound
