One of the most difficult aspects of living a healthy life after an auto accident, is the bodily pains that can arise. While they may seem subtle at first, such as a sore neck or back, over the course of time you will gradually start to feel the pain get more severe. We always recommend seeing a chiropractor as soon as you can after an accident not only to begin the pain treatment process, but a chiropractor can document any injuries that you will be able to present to insurance and your personal injury lawyer (if needed).
Trusted San Diego Personal Injury Chiropractor
After an auto accident, most people have one thing on their minds, their vehicle! While this is a completely natural feeling to have, they often forget that they need to take care of their injuries first, no matter how subtle. This can make the difference between long-term pain and allowing the healing process to begin quickly. A common complaint our auto accident injuries patients tell us is that they just don't "feel like their normal selves" afterwards.
Obvious Pains After an Accident Include
Muscle Stiffness
Spasms
Neck Pain
Back Pain
Numbness and Tingling
Difficulty Sleeping
irritability
Fatigue
But not well known is that an auto accident can cause "post-traumatic osteoarthritis". This can cause issues with your posture such as slumping or a hump backed appears, and can cause the discs in your spine to degnerate and create a scar tissue formation that potentially could lead to chronic stiffness.
If the pain is primarily in a part of your back, we will provide x-rays that can allow Dr. Blakely to pinpoint the exact spot in your spine that some damage may have happened and work on the right chiropractic plan targeting this region to start relieving the pain in that specific area. Ultimately the goal will be spinal alignment to help the entire body heal itself naturally.
IMPORTANT NOTE
It’s very important for all car accident victims to be fully examined before settling any claims with their insurance company. Unfortunately, insurance companies often will have a car accident victim sign off and end their case before treatment has been completed. Once an auto accident victim has signed off and accepted payment, any future treatment needs will not be covered.
Whiplash Pain from Auto Accident
Whiplash is the most common pain that patients come to see us for after an auto accident. Whiplash is an injury that is caused by a sudden and forceful movement of the head backward or forward, commonly felt in auto accident situations. Even just the slightest whiplash can damage the muscles in your neck, they just simply aren't used to having a sudden jerk in one direction or the other. This could lead to vertebrae being forced from their normal positions which will result in not only a limited range of motion, but painful symptoms.
Again, if you have been in an auto accident its not only important that you seek chiropractic help quickly, but also that you see a chiropractor who is trained in personal injury cases and works with personal injury lawyers throughout the San Diego region. This will help you not only relieve pain, but also have experts by your side to handle the "not so fun" side of things in the legal and insurance system.
