Auto Accident Injuries, Inflammation
Back pain, neck pain and headaches are typical symptoms that people experience after a car accident. When we are involved in car accidents muscles get strained, ligaments get sprained and inflammation starts to settle in around the injured joints.
As it turns out, inflammation plays a big role in our health following a motor vehicle accident. Inflammation causes the muscles to tighten or spasm in an effort to protect the joint. Inflammation also causes us to feel pain. If the inflammation lasts for more than a few days it will cause scar tissue to form around the joints which also causes pain and decreased range of motion.
Since chiropractic care is so effective in treating the injuries associated with car accidents, I see many of these patients in my San Diego Chiropractic Center. Many of these patients had never been to a chiropractor prior to the care that they will receive because of their accident.
Chiropractic care for auto injuries should involve three separate phases of care.
The first phase of care should be directed toward to relieving pain. Ice packs, electrical stimulation, ultrasound and spinal manipulations all help to reduce pain and tension.
The second phase of care is directed toward improving the range of motion of the injured joints. It is important to “remodel” as much as the scar tissue as possible to help you maintain your full range of motion in the future.
The third phase of care is directed towards building strength and flexibility in and around the injured joints. Strong, flexible muscles that work to move joints that have full range of motion will help you maintain your spinal health in the future.
We would be happy to consult with you regarding care for your auto accident injuries.

Neck Pain from Whiplash-Car Accident Injury
Whiplash is an injury typically seen when you get rear-ended in an auto accident. Rear end car accidents only make up about 25% of all car crashes, yet they account for about 40% of all car crash injuries. Research has shown that subjects can have whiplash injuries in rear end collisions of less than 5 mph, probably slower than you drive in a parking lot.
This is one reason why whiplash injuries make up such a large percentage of auto accident injuries. Almost half of Americans who suffer from chronic neck pain, attribute it to a previous whiplash injury.
Whiplash pain usually involves some or all of these symptoms, reduced neck range of motion, neck pain, muscle pain, or headaches. If you experience any of the symptoms after a car accident then you should see an auto injury specialist immediately.
It is common for whiplash pain to not show up until weeks or months after the accident. Most of these people are the ones who never get help for their pain, and are at much greater risk for developing chronic neck pain in the future.
As a chiropractor that specializes in treating whiplash and other car accident injuries, I can attest to the importance of seeking treatment for a whiplash injury and not just dulling the pain with over the counter or prescription drugs. I have seen both sides of the coin. I’ve had numerous patients come in to see me for chronic neck pain, and in finding out about their history they’ve been in one or more car accidents. On the other side I’ve had people come to see me immediately after a major car accident, and in time able to get them back to 100%.
I have personally received the most extensive training in car accident injuries that is available, in addition to my chiropractic education, and feel that it is very important that you do your homework after being in an accident. Find a doctor who has additional training specific to car accidents.
