Auto accident injuries can range from minor to severe and often depend on the force of the collision. Common injuries include whiplash, which affects the neck, and back pain, which can stem from the impact. At Back in Balance Wellness Center in Bangor and Ellsworth, ME, we provide assessments and treatments to address your symptoms and support your recovery.
Common Auto Accident Injuries
Identifying the auto accident injury is important for effective treatment. First, there’s a chance that your symptoms are related to whiplash. Whiplash occurs when your head is suddenly moved forward and backward, which can lead to neck pain, stiffness, and dizziness.
You may also have back or neck pain due to a herniated disc. While a herniated disc is more likely to be caused by lifting heavy objects and constant strain, it may also be from the force of the accident.
Back, neck, and shoulder pain are also common symptoms of sprains and strains. These soft tissue injuries may result from different parts of your body absorbing impact.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Our chiropractors can offer various treatments for auto accident injuries. Chiropractic adjustments are among the most effective treatments available for common auto accident injuries. We can use them to treat your whiplash or herniated disc. They are also effective solutions for sprains and strains. After treatment, you can expect a reduction in back, shoulder, and neck pain.
Massage and acupuncture could also be included in your treatment regimen. These methods excel at alleviating neck and back pain associated with soft tissue injuries. Additionally, our auto accident chiropractors may recommend physical therapy. Physical therapy can improve your strength and mobility, so you can return to your normal routine quickly.
