The consequences of car accidents can range from minor cuts and scrapes to severe brain or spinal injuries. Some injury symptoms can be delayed for several days, weeks, or even months after the auto accident. That’s why it is critical to visit a medical professional for an examination as soon as possible after your accident. Doing so allows you to receive proper diagnosis and timely treatment. Cleveland Chiropractic and Massage in Garner, North Carolina, can help more than just your back pain. The professional team can also offer treatment plans for those suffering from arm pain, knee pain, whiplash, and other common auto accident injuries.
Common Post-Auto Accident Injuries and Symptoms Include:
****This injury occurs when the neck is suddenly forced forward and backward. This intense movement sprains or strains the neck and can cause neck pain, stiffness, a reduced range of motion, dizziness, blurred vision, headaches, and tingling or numbness in the arms. Our chiropractor will assess your musculoskeletal system to determine whether or not you are suffering from whiplash and provide treatment accordingly.
****The sudden and aggressive impact of a car accident can cause many issues within the body, including herniated discs, muscle strains and sprains, and pinched nerves within your back. These problems cause pain and discomfort in the lower, middle, and upper regions of the back.
****Sometimes, car accidents can damage the spinal cord and the surrounding nerves. An auto accident may also result in inflammation that puts pressure on the spinal cord, resulting in numbness or tingling within the arms, hands, legs, and feet.
****Arm and leg pain can occur due to various injuries such as torn ligaments, fractures, muscle strains, and herniated discs.
****Accident victims often experience a “post-traumatic headache,” which is an excruciating headache resulting from the accident trauma. These headaches may be caused by muscle injuries in the neck and back, spinal or skull fractures, whiplash, pinched nerves, herniated discs, and other injuries.
