What are car accident injuries?

Car accident injuries happen when you get in an automobile crash and can affect you whether or not you are at fault. You can get injuries as the driver or passenger during a car accident. Symptoms may set in immediately or sometime after. This is why getting a medical evaluation as quickly as possible after an accident is critical. 

Some of the most common symptoms after a car accident injury are:

• Headaches
• Muscle stiffness
• Muscle pain
• Joint pain
• Limited mobility
• Trouble sleeping

At MiSpine Chiropractic, Dr. Raychouni evaluates your symptoms and locates the source of your pain. He can then provide gentle, personalized care to help you fully recover. 

What are some of the most common car accident injuries?

Countless musculoskeletal injuries can happen in car accidents based on the position you’re sitting in, the speed of the car on impact, and other factors. A few of the most common car accident injuries Dr. Raychouni treats are:

Herniated discs

Spinal discs provide cushioning between the bones that comprise your spine. They typically absorb shock but can rupture and herniate, compressing nearby nerve roots to cause local or referred pain. 

Concussions

Concussions are brain injuries that happen when you bump your head or when it jolts forcefully in a specific direction. Even a mild concussion can cause serious brain damage if you don’t manage it properly. 

Whiplash injuries

Whiplash injuries happen when your neck whips forward, backward, or side to side forcefully. The ligaments in your neck sustain damage that can cause pain and stiffness. 

How does a chiropractor treat car accident injuries?

MiSpine Chiropractic provides personalized care for car accident injuries of all kinds. It’s important to remember that pain in your arms or legs could indicate a spinal injury, such as a herniated disc, even though there is no pain in your back. Dr. Raychouni investigates to give you the best possible chiropractic treatment. 

You can manage car accident injuries with techniques like:

• Chiropractic adjustments
• Corrective exercises
