Healing Car Accident Injuries

The chances of being in a car accident at least once in your lifetime are sadly pretty likely. We are always on the go between driving to work or school, kid’s activities, and running errands; all it takes is a careless driver or a moment of inattention on the road to be involved in an accident. 

Being involved in a car accident can be overwhelming. From police reports to insurance to car repairs, oftentimes your injuries may be pushed aside, especially if you initially feel okay.  

Most injuries can appear days to weeks following a car accident. Even if you do not feel immediate pain or have immediate injuries, it does not mean you are out of the woods. You should seek care at Chiropractic Naturally for x-rays and ongoing treatment after your car accident. 

Why Should You See A Chiropractor After An Accident 

When your car collides into another vehicle or even a stationary object, tremendous damage can occur to the musculoskeletal system. Common injuries that can occur from an accident include whiplash and injuries to your spinal discs, such as herniated or bulging discs.  

It is recommended to see a chiropractor, if possible, within 48 hours of your car accident. Even if you do not make it to a chiropractor right away, you should still see one as soon as you can. 

When you put off treatment, your injuries can become worse and can be harder to heal as time goes on. At Chiropractic Naturally, we will assess and develop a personalized treatment plan to get you back to where you were before your injuries occurred. 

At Chiropractic Naturally, we focus on healing your body’s injuries through targeted chiropractic adjustments without surgery or drugs. 

If you have been injured in a car accident, you have 14-days to seek treatment. Don’t wait – request an appointment with our Tampa Bay chiropractic doctors. We have the experience you need to help you heal naturally.  

Can Chiropractic Help with Whiplash? 

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries sustained in a car accident. Whiplash is the forceful movement of the body whipping back and then forward—which is not a normal body movement—causing tears in ligaments. An impact at any speed transfers a great deal of force to the vehicle and the occupants.  

As with most car accident injuries, signs and symptoms of whiplash can occur long after an accident. Whiplash can be serious if not treated.  

Symptoms of whiplash can include: 

  • Dizziness 
  • Headaches 
  • Blurred vision 
  • Problems with memory, sleeping or concentrating 
  • Neck and shoulder pain 
  • Lower back pain 
  • Arm pain

When seen immediately, a chiropractor can:
