Chiropractic Care for Auto Accident Recovery
Located in Henderson, Nevada, we treat a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries resulting from car accidents. Musculoskeletal injuries involve soft tissues such as muscles, ligaments, and joints. It’s important to note that even if you don’t have visible injuries, you may still have significant internal damage. Common injuries include:
- Herniated Discs
- Knee, Wrist, and Hip Injuries
- Sciatica
- Whiplash
Common Car Accident Injury Symptoms
The force from a car accident can cause the discs in your spine to slip out of place, leading to a herniated disc. This can result in back pain, stiffness, and a noticeable loss of flexibility in your back.
Impact with the interior of your vehicle during an accident can affect the joints in your extremities. Injuries to the knees, wrists, and hips often cause pain, swelling, bruising, and a decrease in joint mobility.
Sciatica can occur as a result of a car accident, caused by compression of the sciatic nerve. This condition leads to lower back pain, along with numbness and tingling in the legs.
Whiplash is a common neck injury caused by the rapid jerking motion during a car accident. It can affect the cervical vertebrae, muscles, and ligaments, causing neck stiffness, limited range of motion, and headaches. Some individuals may also experience pain in the shoulders and arms.
