Common Car Accident Injuries 

1. Neck injuries- A common type of injury caused by car accidents is neck injuries. Injuries to the Neck can be less severe, such as Muscle Strains or Whiplash, or more severe, such as damage to discs or muscle tears.
2. Spinal injuries- Damage to the spine can cause significant, sometimes permanent damage. Common symptoms caused by spinal injuries include: loss of control and numbness in their legs, arms, feet, hands, or other body parts. With more severe spinal injuries, patients could become permanently paralyzed.  
3. Back injuries- The lower back is typically the first injury of the back, and can include sprains and strains, fractured vertebrae and/or herniated/bulging discs. These injuries are often result in decreased mobility and severe pain and discomfort. 
4. Brain injuries- Your brain is protected by your skull and the fluid inside. However, when you hit your head hard, or your body is whipped aggressively, your brain can hit against the inside of your skull, causing a concussion. Brain injuries range from traumatic to mild concussions, comas, and in some cases lasting cognitive issues.
5. Headaches- It is common for people to experience headaches after a traffic collision even if they did not hit their head. Our bodies are not designed to withstand the amount of force that is exerted during an accident. Usually, headaches will go away fairly quickly, but in some cases they persist. Always seek professional medical care to ensure your headaches are not due to traumatic injuries or whiplash.  

Chiropractic Care after a Car Accident offers many lasting health benefits. 

The spine can easily be knocked out of alignment during a car accident. With the help of an experienced chiropractor, accident injuries can be healed without the need for invasive surgeries or addictive pain medications.

• Pressure used to manipulate the spine back into its natural alignment.
• Neuromusculoskeletal therapy to help increase joint mobility and range of motion.
• Soft tissue therapy to help decrease muscle tension.
• Ultrasound and Electrical Stimulation to reduce stiffness and calm any inflammation.
• Any additional manual therapies deemed to be beneficial.

Our medical team can offer treatment options based on our patient preferences.

We are dedicated to each individual's comfort with our services and health care assistance.

Incorporating exercise therapy, nutrition, and injury rehab, greatly benefits your overall well-being for a recovery that lasts.  

Common Types of Car Accidents That Can Cause Serious Injuries  

Rear-end Collisions

These are the most common types of traffic collisions. Rear-end collisions usually happen when a vehicle is following (tailgating) the car in front of them to closely.

When the lead vehicle is forced to stop suddenly, the vehicle behind does not have enough space or time to stop, resulting in a crash.

Occupants of the impacted car in a rear-end collision will typically suffer more severe injuries such as Whiplash, even when the vehicles are not traveling at high speeds.

The driver of the car that rear-ends the other car is usually cited for fault by the responding police officer. 

Head-on Collisions

Head on collisions are when the front ends of two vehicles collide. Unfortunately, these types of wrecks often result in very serious injuries or fatalities. 

Head-on impacts are more common on back country roads when a vehicle tries to pass a slower vehicle, and there is not enough time to do so before reaching oncoming traffic.

Side-Impact Collisions

Side impact collisions are also known as "T-bone" accidents. These accidents occur when the side of a vehicle is impacted by the back or front of another vehicle.

The type of damage and severity of injuries sustained from side-impact crashes will largely depend upon where and how hard the vehicle was struck.

Safety features included in vehicles such as airbags, weight and construction of the automobile, including materials, as well as the speed of the vehicles involved in the accident all play a role in the severity of the accident.

Vehicle occupants on the side of impact usually suffer far more damaging injuries than they would in a front or rear-end crash.

Multi-Vehicle Pile-Ups

These accidents involve more than two vehicles, and usually take place on freeways and highways. These incidents often are the deadliest, resulting in heavily damaged vehicles, vehicle fires, and the risk of being hit multiple times.

In some cases, drivers and passengers choose to get out of their cars during a pile-up, which can lead to further injuries.

Single-Car Accidents

These accidents occur when only one vehicle is involved. Young drivers are 2x as likely to be in a single vehicle accident, such as hitting a stationary object, running off the road or rolling over.

Single Vehicle accident will often result in property damage or personal injury. 

Rehabilitation for Car Accident Victims 

Arrowhead Clinic has a team of chiropractors and car accident specialists that utilize the latest corrective technology and procedures to better assess and treat car accident victims. 

Our licensed medical team may conduct:

• Neurological diagnostic evaluations
• Imaging tests (X-Ray, MRI, CT Scan)
• Full body evaluation
• Joint range of motion tests
• Pain and Palpitation tests
• Any further diagnostic measures to pinpoint the source of irritation and pain suffering.

Once we our Chiropractors have analyzed all of your injuries, they will come up with a specialized treatment plan for each patient's individual needs. 

Seeing a chiropractor after an accident is crucial, even if you do not believe you have suffered an injury. 

Not all injuries show immediate symptoms.

Don’t make the mistake of waiting or delaying treatment for your injuries to become worse. 

Gaps in treatment will not only affect your health, but may also affect a potential personal injury claim for compensation if you were not at-fault for the accident. 

Receiving proper medical attention and keeping accurate documentation is what your accident injury lawyer needs to prove your injuries and win your case.
