About Auto Accident Injury Recovery

Auto accidents can cause significant trauma to the body, often resulting in injuries that may not be immediately apparent. At Chiropractic Connection San Diego, we specialize in diagnosing and treating auto accident injuries with a focus on both immediate pain relief and long-term recovery.

Whiplash, one of the most common auto accident injuries, occurs when the head is suddenly jerked forward and backward, causing strain to the neck muscles and ligaments. Even low-speed collisions can result in whiplash and other spinal injuries that, if left untreated, may lead to chronic pain and limited mobility.

Our comprehensive approach to auto accident injury recovery includes thorough evaluations to identify all affected areas, personalized treatment plans to address your specific injuries, and ongoing support to ensure proper healing and prevent future complications.

Dr. Dana has extensive experience working with auto accident victims and understands the unique challenges these injuries present. She works closely with insurance companies and legal professionals to document your injuries and treatment progress, helping to ensure your medical needs are properly addressed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I see a chiropractor even if I don't feel pain after an accident?

Yes, many auto accident injuries, especially whiplash, may not cause symptoms immediately. Pain and stiffness often develop days or even weeks after the accident. Early evaluation and treatment can prevent these delayed symptoms and complications.

Will my insurance cover chiropractic care after an auto accident?

In most cases, yes. Auto insurance policies typically cover medical expenses, including chiropractic care, for injuries sustained in an accident. We work with most insurance providers and can help verify your coverage and handle the necessary paperwork.

How soon after an accident should I seek chiropractic care?

We recommend scheduling an evaluation as soon as possible after an accident, ideally within 72 hours. Early intervention is key to preventing long-term complications and documenting injuries for insurance purposes.

How long will treatment take for auto accident injuries?

Treatment duration varies depending on the severity of injuries and how your body responds to care. Some patients experience significant improvement after just a few sessions, while others with more severe injuries may require several months of treatment. Dr. Dana will provide you with a personalized treatment timeline during your initial assessment.

Can chiropractic care help with accident-related headaches?

Yes, headaches are common after auto accidents and often result from whiplash, muscle tension, or spinal misalignment. Chiropractic adjustments, along with soft tissue therapy, can effectively address the root causes of these headaches and provide relief.
