Auto Accident Injury Treatment

Auto Accident Injury Treatment from our Garden Grove Chiropractor

Even a minor auto accident is a significant event for your body. The force of the impact can be jarring, and it often causes joints, particularly those in your spine, to shift out of alignment. The intensity of the collision and the strain it puts on your body can also lead to soft tissue injuries, and our trusted Garden Grove chiropractor can treat all of this and more.

Common Auto Accident Injuries

The most common type of injury we see in our auto accident injury patients is whiplash. This is a condition that is caused by the rapid movement of your head back and forth as the result of the collision, and it’s particularly common after rear-end impacts. That dramatic movement can cause a herniated disc in your neck or upper back that may impinge a nerve, and it can also cause extensive soft tissue damage, all of which leads to inflammation.

Symptoms of whiplash include pain radiating from the neck or upper back down the arms, numbness or tingling in the affected area or in the associated extremities, headaches, decreased the range of motion, and more. Some other types of auto accident injuries we can treat are those involving the shoulder, knee, hip and lower back.

The Importance of Prompt Treatment from Our Chiropractor

Even if you don’t think you’ve suffered a significant injury, it’s important to visit our chiropractor as soon as possible after your accident. That’s because symptoms of some types of injuries, particularly whiplash, often don’t show up right away. That doesn’t mean the damage hasn’t been done, though, and getting treatment quickly can help speed your recovery greatly. Without treatment, the kinds of injuries commonly sustained in motor vehicle accidents can lead to chronic and sometimes debilitating pain.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Auto Accident Injuries

Even if you’ve already been treated at a hospital or seen by your regular doctor, there are benefits for seeking chiropractic care for your auto accident injuries. This type of treatment is non-invasive, and it doesn’t rely on prescription pain medications to produce results. While pain medication can temporarily relieve your symptoms, it doesn’t do anything to address their underlying cause, and that’s where chiropractic care can really make a difference.

On your initial visit after you’re involved in an auto accident, we’ll complete a thorough physical assessment, testing for things like strength, reflexes, and range of motion. We’ll also go over the details of the accident with you, as well as your complete medical history. We’ll then put together a treatment program geared towards relieving your symptoms while simultaneously correcting any misalignments that are causing them and also reducing associated inflammation. This combination helps promote your body’s natural healing processes, allowing you to return to your regular routines as quickly as possible.
