Treatment

Auto accidents can happen in the blink of an eye—but their effects can linger long after the collision. Even a seemingly minor fender-bender can result in injuries that disrupt your daily life and long-term health. At Accident and Injury Chiropractic, we specialize in helping patients in Tacoma and surrounding areas recover from auto injuries through personalized, effective chiropractic care.

Common Auto Accident Injuries

Auto accidents often cause injuries that may not be immediately noticeable. Common injuries include:

• Whiplash: A sudden jolt to the neck and spine can strain muscles, ligaments, and joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.
  
  

• Back Pain: The impact from a crash can compress spinal discs or misalign vertebrae, causing acute or chronic back pain.
  
  

• Headaches and Migraines: Tension from spinal misalignment or trauma can trigger frequent headaches following an accident.
  
  

• Soft Tissue Injuries: Strained muscles and inflamed ligaments are common, especially in the neck, back, and shoulders.
  
  

• Numbness or Tingling: Nerve compression or irritation from spinal injuries may result in sensations that radiate into the arms, legs, hands, or feet.
  
  

Why You Need to See a Chiropractor Right Away

After an accident, your body often releases a rush of adrenaline, which can mask pain and injury symptoms for days or even weeks. By the time discomfort sets in, underlying issues may have already worsened, making recovery more difficult and prolonged.

Early chiropractic intervention allows for the detection of injuries before they become chronic or more severe. Prompt care can also speed up your recovery by reducing inflammation, restoring proper spinal alignment, and preventing further complications. Another benefit of early treatment is that it can reduce your reliance on pain medications. Chiropractic care takes a natural, drug-free approach to healing that focuses on treating the root cause of pain rather than masking symptoms.

Additionally, if you plan to file an insurance claim, having accurate medical documentation is crucial. We can provide detailed records of your injuries and treatment, helping to support your case and ensure you receive the coverage and compensation you deserve.
