If you’ve been injured in a car accident, symptoms don’t always show up immediately. Neck pain, headaches, back pain, stiffness, muscle spasms, and soreness may develop hours or even days after the accident.
At Achieve Health Chiropractic and Acupuncture in Champlin, MN, we help patients recover from auto accident injuries using personalized, conservative treatment designed to reduce pain, restore movement, and help you return to your normal activities.
Injured in a Car Accident?
Even a relatively minor collision can place significant stress on the muscles, joints, ligaments, and connective tissues of the neck and back.
Common auto accident injuries and symptoms include:
- Whiplash
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Lower back pain
- Upper back pain
- Headaches
- Shoulder pain
- Muscle spasms
- Reduced range of motion
- Hip and pelvic pain
- Tingling or numbness
- Soreness that develops after the accident
If you are experiencing new or worsening symptoms after an accident, it is important to have the injury evaluated.
Whiplash Treatment in Champlin, MN
Whiplash commonly occurs when the head and neck are rapidly forced backward and forward during a collision.
Symptoms may include:
- Neck stiffness
- Pain with movement
- Headaches
- Upper back and shoulder pain
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Reduced neck mobility
- Fatigue or difficulty concentrating
Some people feel relatively normal immediately following an accident and begin noticing symptoms later.
An early evaluation can help identify areas of injury and determine an appropriate treatment plan.
How We Treat Auto Accident Injuries
Every accident and every patient is different. Your treatment plan will depend on your symptoms, examination findings, severity of the injury, and how your body is responding.
Treatment may include:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle chiropractic care may help restore normal joint movement, improve mobility, and reduce pain and stiffness following an accident.
Soft Tissue and Muscle Therapy
Muscles often tighten or spasm following a collision. Soft tissue treatment may help reduce muscle tension and improve movement.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture may be incorporated into your treatment plan to help manage pain, muscle tension, and inflammation.
REACT Magnetic Therapy
Our office also offers REACT magnetic neuromuscular therapy, which may be used to help address muscle pain, spasms, and neuromuscular dysfunction. Gentle and effective.
Therapeutic Exercise and Rehabilitation
As your condition improves, specific stretches and exercises may be recommended to restore mobility, strength, stability, and normal movement patterns.
Why Choose Achieve Health Chiropractic and Acupuncture?
Our goal is not simply to temporarily cover up your symptoms.
We want to determine which areas were affected by the accident and create an individualized treatment plan to help you recover.
Our Champlin chiropractic office offers multiple treatment options under one roof, including:
- Chiropractic care
- Acupuncture
- Soft tissue therapy
- REACT magnetic therapy
- Rehabilitation and corrective exercises
- Nutritional guidance
Having multiple treatment options allows us to tailor care to the individual rather than treating every auto accident injury the same way.
When Should You See a Chiropractor After a Car Accident?
If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, headaches, restricted movement, numbness, tingling, or other symptoms following an accident, consider being evaluated as soon as reasonably possible.
You should also seek immediate emergency medical attention following an accident if you experience symptoms such as severe headache, loss of consciousness, significant weakness, confusion, difficulty speaking, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or other severe symptoms.
