Auto Injury Treatment Q&A

How can I benefit from chiropractic auto injury treatment?

When you’re in an auto accident — even a minor “fender bender” — the shock and fear cause your body to release endorphins. Endorphins dull pain and may keep you from noticing that you’re injured. You also may be distracted by the chaos surrounding the accident, including exchanging insurance information with the other driver and dealing with police.

After your car accident, you may not experience any symptoms for hours, days, or even months. That’s why seeing MyChiropractor after your accident ensures that you get the evaluation and care you need to minimize the risk for serious complications down the line.

What are some signs I need auto injury treatment?

Even if you feel fine after an auto accident, you should remain alert to other possible symptoms that could develop. Troubling symptoms that may benefit from auto injury treatment include:

Insomnia
Fatigue
Head, neck, shoulder, or back pain
Joint pain or stiffness
Tingling or weakness in limbs, hands, or feet
Confusion or brain fog
Changes in mood

You may also develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after your accident. Symptoms of PTSD include reliving the trauma, having nightmares about it, or being fearful of cars.
