Common Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents can result in a variety of injuries and symptoms, including:

• Whiplash
• Neck pain
• Back pain
• Lower-back pain
• Shoulder pain
• Muscle strains
• Joint stiffness
• Headaches
• Reduced range of motion
• Other soft-tissue injuries

The type and severity of an injury can depend on the circumstances of the accident, including the direction and force of impact.

Why Can a Car Accident Cause Pain?

During a collision, the body can experience sudden forces that cause the head, neck and spine to move rapidly.
This movement can place stress on muscles, joints and other structures.
Your symptoms may depend on factors such as the direction of impact, the severity of the collision, your position in the vehicle and your individual health history.

Chiropractic Evaluation After a Car Accident

At Lyn Lake Chiropractic, your chiropractor will discuss your symptoms and medical history and perform an appropriate evaluation.
The goal is to determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your condition.

Depending on your symptoms, care may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments
• Soft-tissue treatment
• Massage therapy
• Therapeutic exercise
• Rehabilitation
• Other supportive therapies

If additional medical evaluation or diagnostic testing is appropriate, your chiropractor may recommend that you see another healthcare professional.

Don't Ignore New Symptoms After an Accident

It is not unusual for someone to feel relatively normal immediately following a collision and notice symptoms later.
If you develop new or worsening pain, stiffness, headaches or other symptoms after an accident, consider getting evaluated.
Serious or emergency symptoms should be evaluated immediately by an appropriate medical professional.
