Santa Rosa Auto Accident Chiropractor

Trauma from a car accident can strain the soft tissues in your neck and back, cause headaches, nerve damage and have long lasting effects on your body.  Whiplash and other acute injuries lead to chronic issues that can impair your future quality of life and even your ability to work.  Structural damage to the natural curvature of the spine is a common part of being injured in a motor vehicle collision (usually in the form of loss of cervical lordosis).  Other times the muscles react so badly that they cramp and stiffen around the joints in the spine so that range of motion is restricted and the nerves get pinched.

Complications of Auto Accidents

Concussions can result after the head hits the back of the seat, the window or the steering wheel and can cause debilitating neurological effects for weeks or even months after the accident.  Dizziness, anxiety, brain fog, difficulty remembering things and difficulty concentrating can be part of the concussion recovery process. Occasionally the intervertebral disc can be damaged in a car accident.  Herniations, bulges, microtears and protrusions can cause problems for the nerves or spinal cord and take longer to heal than other structures of the spine.  Getting treatment for injuries related to an accident sooner rather than later is critical for the recovery process and prevents possible long term effects.

Types of Injuries Often Linked to Car Accidents

  • Auto accidents frequently result in various injuries, with whiplash being a common consequence. The degree of whiplash severity hinges on factors like the angle and speed of impact. Our specialized whiplash traumatology offers effective relief, addressing pain and discomfort.
  • Head injuries are another common outcome of collisions, and injuries to the cervical spine might not manifest immediately post-accident. Often, patients overlook the seriousness of their injury until they experience intense pain days or weeks later.
  • Spinal injuries encompass possibilities like herniated discs or damage to the spinal cord. Such injuries may manifest as numbness, tingling, or weakness in limbs and other body areas. Our diagnostic approach involves X-rays or MRIs, aiding in a comprehensive understanding of your spinal injury for effective management.
