Should I see a Chiropractor after a car accident in Arlington WA?

The first 24-78 hours after a car accident are crucial. Whiplash and injuries to the neck and back can occur at low speeds. Injuries are often not felt right away. Post-accident stress and adrenaline often masks the pain from the car injury for several hours and even days. 

If you have broken bones, lacerations, or other severe symptoms, then a visit to an emergency room in Seattle is appropriate. It can be a great idea to see a auto injury chiropractor for soft-tissue or musculoskeletal injuries resulting from the accident especially if the injury is less apparent or some time has passed after the accident. 

Auto accident chiropractors specialize in car accident injuries and symptoms by helping your body return to its natural pre-injury state. By treating auto injury symptoms early on, we can help mitigate further injury, speed up the healing process, and restore proper bodily function. 

Symptoms can often be delayed foru days, hours, or even weeks following a auto collision. Getting a professional evaluation as soon as possible is very important. An evaluation will provide you with insight and peace of mind as to the effect of the car collision on your body. 

WHAT INJURIES OR SYMPTOMS ARE COMMON FOLLOWING A CAR CRASH?

Every motor vehicle accident is different. The severity of the crash and type of accident will often determine how the body responds. However, even a minor auto accident can injure the body and should not be taken lightly. 

Whiplash is the most common injury sustained from a car accident. An abrupt stop and resulting thrust don't allow time for the body to properly brace and protect itself, which often results in damage to soft tissue surrounding your skeletal structures in the neck and spine. 

Common symptoms associated with whiplash from a car accident include neck pain, neck stiffness, reduced range of motion, back pain, shoulder and arm pain, migraine headaches, memory loss, insomnia, irritability, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and loss of concentration. 

The most common injuries stemming from auto collisions are:

Whiplash, concussion, neck pain, back pain, hip pain, and shoulder pain or stiffness. Spinal injuries, such as herniated or bulged discs, numbness in the arms, legs, bruising, abdominal pain, brain trauma, trouble sleeping, memory loss, and soft tissue injuries.
