Auto accidents can cause injuries that may not show up for weeks or months to come. Some injuries aren’t as apparent as others. You may walk away from an accident thinking you’re okay, only to experience neck or back pain, stiff joints, or limited mobility due to tears in ligaments or muscles a week or two later. This pain won’t go away on its own. You can save frustration, money, and pain by diagnosing your auto accident injury early on. A checkup from a chiropractor at Lubbock Advanced Physical Medicine can reveal whether or not you have such hidden injuries.

What Kinds of Injuries Can Auto Accidents Cause?

Serious auto accidents can cause broken bones, fractures, and lacerations, which can often be detected at the scene. Mild auto accidents shouldn’t be ignored, even if they don’t produce such devastating results. A mild fender bender may seem like nothing, but can cause such injuries as whiplash, shoulder strain, soft tissue injuries, herniated discs, lower back injury, and more. Lack of treatment can lead to chronic headaches, long term pain, inflammation, and nerve damage. A checkup from your Lubbock chiropractor will uncover an auto accident injury that may be lurking.

Auto Accident Treatment: Exploring Your Options

Chiropractic practices are non-invasive, drug-free treatments designed to relieve pain and its underlying causes. In the case of whiplash, for example, your chiropractor may use heat therapy and massage to relieve pain in your neck and shoulder. Spinal manipulation can help realign displaced bones in your spine to relieve pain and restore flexibility.

At Lubbock Advanced Physical Medicine, we’ll create an auto accident treatment plan customized to heal your specific injuries. This plan may incorporate spinal manipulation, ice and heat therapy, deep tissue massage, rehab exercises, pressure point techniques, and other natural therapies. Our treatments are designed to alleviate pain, improve flexibility, and restore full range of mobility through complete recovery of your injuries.
