Common Auto Injuries Treated by Chiropractors
Even if you think you haven’t suffered from auto injuries after being in an accident, your adrenaline might be masking your symptoms. Some auto injuries, like whiplash, don’t show symptoms immediately. When you visit us at ChiroConcepts of Allen after being in a car accident, we will do a full physical examination and run diagnostic imaging tests to screen you for these common auto injuries in Allen, TX and surrounding areas.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Even minor car accidents can cause serious or long-term damage to the spinal cord. The cervical spine and lumbar spine are most vulnerable to injury in a car accident. You can suffer from a fracture or break, a slipped or herniated disc, spinal misalignment, or other injuries. Our team will take an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan to look for signs of damage or injury to your spinal cord.
Back & Neck Injuries
The heavy impact and forceful movement experienced in a car accident can damage the delicate structures of the neck and back. Car accidents can cause injury to the nerves, vertebrae, muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the back or neck. Symptoms of back and neck injuries might not show up right away, but may worsen the longer you go without treatment. We will assess your symptoms, discuss the details of the accident, and determine if you have any damage to your back or neck.
Head Injuries & Concussions
Car accidents are the leading cause of head injuries and concussions. Without swift treatment, head injuries can cause serious, even permanent, complications. We will complete a thorough neurological screening to determine if you’re showing any signs of a head injury or concussion. If a head injury is caught early, you are less likely to experience complications like dizziness or vertigo, fatigue, disorientation, memory and concentration problems, headaches and migraines, speech problems, mood swings, and insomnia.
Whiplash Injuries
A whiplash injury occurs when the head and neck are jerked forcefully forward and backward or from side to side. This rapid movement can damage the nerves, muscles, tissues, and ligaments of the neck. It can also damage your cervical spine. Sometimes, whiplash symptoms take days to appear, but we can screen you for whiplash when you visit us after your auto accident.
