Car accidents cause substantial trauma to your neck and spine, even if the car shows very little damage. You might not even notice any pain or stiffness right after the accident. In fact, pain can take days or weeks to surface, during which scar tissue can form. If untreated, this scar tissue can lead to long-term problems like chronic pain, arthritis, stiffness, reduced mobility, and radiating pain in the arms or legs.
Prompt care is essential to avoid these complications.
Our experienced Duval Spine & Rehab chiropractor has been helping auto accident patients recover and heal for over 20 years. He will refer you for necessary X-rays and if needed, MRIs. Then, he'll customize your treatment plan to your specific situation, including chiropractic adjustments and other therapeutic modalities such as flexion distraction for disc injuries, intersegmental traction, shockwave therapy, and more.
