Car Accident InjuryA car accident can injure the neck, back, shoulders, muscles and joints. Some symptoms are noticeable immediately, while others may develop later. Lyn Lake Chiropractic provides chiropractic care for car accident injuries throughout Minneapolis, Golden Valley and the surrounding Twin Cities.
Common Car Accident Injuries
- Whiplash and neck pain
- Back and lower-back pain
- Shoulder pain and muscle strains
- Joint stiffness and reduced range of motion
- Headaches and other soft-tissue injuries
During a collision, sudden forces can make the head, neck and spine move rapidly, stressing muscles, joints and other structures. Your symptoms may depend on the direction and severity of impact, your position in the vehicle and your health history.
Chiropractic Evaluation After a Car Accident
Your chiropractor will discuss your symptoms and medical history and perform an appropriate evaluation to determine whether chiropractic care is right for your condition. Care may include chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue treatment, massage therapy, therapeutic exercise and rehabilitation.
It's not unusual to feel relatively normal right after a collision and notice symptoms later. If you develop new or worsening pain, stiffness or headaches, get evaluated, and seek immediate medical care for serious or emergency symptoms.
