Auto Injury Chiropractor

Following any car accident or collision, seeking a professional medical assessment from a chiropractor is crucial. At Esposito Chiropractic, we can examine the patient and determine if there are any early signs of a severe chiropractic issue. Far too often, people will assume that a minor pain in their neck or back after an accident will be temporary. This is only sometimes the case.

Benefits of Early Auto Injury Treatment:

Many car accident injuries do not show any pain for days or weeks after the accident. With that in mind, we can provide early intervention care that prevents the pain from worsening. As an auto-injury chiropractor, we can help examine the patient for injuries, note any issues for legal reasons, and begin the treatment process.

If you are in a car accident and begin to feel sore, give us a call before the pain gets worse.

Since many possible chiropractic injuries can occur from an auto accident, patients must seek professional chiropractic care, mainly if no outer signs of damage exist. While there may not be visible cuts or bruises, internal damage can occur. Chiropractic injuries can have no outward signs.

With Chiropractic Auto-Injury Treatment, We Can:

  • Examine the patient’s health and well-being after the accident
  • Determine if there are any chiropractic injuries
  • Take down notes and information the patient can use for insurance/legal reports
  • Customize treatment plan to individual patient’s needs
  • Help guide the patient through recovery
  • Teach on exercises and stretches to complete at home to help with recovery

The force of impact from an auto accident can cause internal damage to the spine. The spine, also known as the superhighway of the body, connects everything. Sudden force or movement to specific body areas can also damage the spine. Even if the accident occurred several weeks earlier and the patient is only now experiencing pain, our team can help.

Symptoms to Keep an Eye Out For:

Patients not seeking chiropractic care after an auto accident must watch out for specific symptoms of a chiropractic issue. It is important to note that if open wounds, gashes, or broken limbs exist, the patient must seek emergency medical attention before seeking chiropractic treatment.

Symptoms of an Underlying Chiropractic Injury or Issue Can Include:

  • Neck pain, stiffness, difficulty moving it
  • Back pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Pain sitting or resting in bed
  • Difficulty when standing or walking
  • Fatigue or dizziness
  • Pain in some regions of the body without visible injury

One condition that many people struggle with after an auto accident is whiplash. When a person is in a car accident, there is a chance their neck will snap forward and then backward suddenly. This back-and-forth movement can result in physical pain and trauma. Another symptom of whiplash includes headaches accompanied by pain and stiffness in the neck.

Without professional treatment, people will only continue to experience pain after the accident. Even so, people will wait in the hopes that the pain goes away on its own. Unfortunately, the pain gets worse and makes daily routines more difficult.

Auto Injury Treatment

As an auto injury chiropractor in Carrollton, TX, we can assess the situation, examine the patient, and determine the most effective treatment plan. Our treatment plan will typically focus on treating the pain at its source, not just relieving symptoms. We will help control the pain, restore functionality to the specific body area, and help the patient get back into the routine.

Our treatment will involve:

  • Pain management
  • Physical therapy
  • Medication
  • Specific exercises and stretches
  • Regular appointments to keep recovery on track
  • Follow-up care

People who rely on store-bought pain medication will find that it only temporarily relieves symptoms. While we may include some medicines in the treatment, we will not rely solely on painkillers. Our treatment may involve physical therapy appointments to help promote recovery and correct any misalignment issues.

Non-surgical treatment may be more gradual but less invasive and more natural. With our help, patients can enhance the natural healing process to promote effective and long-lasting recovery. There is no reason to shoulder the pain after an auto accident injury.

If you are struggling with aches and soreness but do not know the cause, call us and schedule an appointment today.
