AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

If you have recently been in a car accident, we can examine your neck, spine and any joint pain to determine if you have any resulting injuries.

Some of the most common types of Car Accident Injuries our Chiropractors at Eastgate Chiropractic Treat:

Auto Accident Injuries: Car accident can cause numerous problems with the spine and neck even if you have no external signs of injuries

Herniated Discs
Sciatica
Spinal Stenosis
Whiplash

Herniated Discs: A herniated disc refers to a problem with one of the rubbery cushions (discs)

between the individual bones (vertebrae) that stack up to make your spine. Issues with the spine can arise and you might not even know it. During a car accident for example, individuals are bounced between seatbelts and the seat back and this can frequently cause arm and leg pain, numbness or tingling and weakness. Fortunately, most of these aliments can be fixed with consistent chiropractic care, and not with surgery.

Sciatica: Herniated or bulging discs can put pressure on the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is

a long nerve that runs from the base of the spine through the buttocks (hips) and down the legs to

the feet. Sciatica can cause pain in the lower back, legs and feet.

Spinal Stenosis: Spinal stenosis occurs when the pathways housing the nerves narrow. This causes the nerve to become compressed and irritated. Spinal stenosis can be agitated during a car accident because injuries to the muscles and soft tissues in the back contribute to inflammation, which further compresses the nerve.

Whiplash: Car accidents are notorious for causing whiplash. This is a loss of the normal

curve in the neck and can be detected on X-ray. When a car impacts another car or an object, the

car abruptly stops. Unfortunately, your body remains in motion until all the excess energy

dissipates. This causes the head to forcefully bounce against the headrest and jerk forward as far

as the cervical vertebrae, ligaments and muscles allow. This misaligns the cervical vertebrae and

stretches all the muscles, ligaments and tendons far beyond their normal range of motion.

Symptoms of whiplash include severe headaches, migraines, neck stiffness, and pain in the neck

and upper back. In extreme cases, individuals can even experience tingling and numbness in

their arms.

Chiropractic Care for Car Accident Injuries

Here at Eastgate Chiropractic Clinic, we offer chiropractic adjustment, therapeutic ultrasound, myofascial tissue release, and dry needling therapy for the neuromusculoskeletal injuries suffered after a car accident. We understand that when you get into a car accident, you want to return to your normal life as soon as possible. That is why we offer natural, non-invasive treatments for headaches, back, neck and joint injuries.

Chiropractic Adjustments: Chiropractic adjustments are very effective at realigning the

vertebrae in the spine. They can help with neck/back pain, herniated discs, spinal stenosis,

whiplash and most importantly, muscles spasms as a result of these injures. Chiropractic

adjustments coupled with therapeutic modalities, help reduce inflammation, alleviates pain as

well as help the nervous system function more efficiently.
