Car Accident Chiropractic Care Asheville

Car accidents cause injuries that range from minor to severe. If you’ve just been in a car crash, you need to consult an auto injury chiropractor in Asheville, NC. While some people won’t until they see visible wounds or feel pain anywhere in the body, you’ve got to be sure with a chiropractor.

The effects of a collision vary between incidents, with some people experiencing muscle inflammation, joint misalignment, and disc strain, to name a few. These outcomes don’t give sensations of pain or stiffness right away, making you think your body is okay when it’s not. Your recovery depends largely on the early detection of your real condition and getting chiropractic care before things get worse.

Injuries We Treat

What seems to be a minor road collision is still likely to cause spine injuries, affecting the neck, thoracic, and lumbar regions, the sacrum, and surrounding tissues. Here at Blue Ridge Chiropractic, we treat a wide range of accident-related injuries, whether or not pain and other symptoms exist.

• Whiplash: an injury in the neck that results from your head being suddenly pushed forward and backward during an impact.
• Neck Pain: a mild to sharp sensation of pain in the upper spine, sometimes accompanied by stiffness.
• Back Pain: results from a quick and strong force that compresses the mid and lower back portions of the spine.
• Shoulder Pain: characterized by soreness or stiffness in the shoulders as a result of either a slow or quick impact. It may be caused by the seatbelt tightly pulling the shoulders or by bumping into the steering wheel, side door, or other parts of the car. It could also be a by-product of shoulder bone damage.
• Headache and migraine: any form of discomfort, tingling pain, or throbbing sensation in the head that endures for hours or recurs at intervals. It is caused by numerous factors: neck injury, head injury, nerve irritation, and even emotional stress.
• Paresthesia: the feeling of being pricked by pins and needles in the hands, resulting from being compressed. Usually, it is preceded by numbness.
• Dizziness or vertigo: Due to the force of the impact, drivers may get their neck, head, brain, and inner ear affected. This often causes a feeling of lightheadedness, consequently resulting in loss of balance.

The treatment is performed in a series of sessions intended to gradually repair spinal misalignment, cure muscle strain, and ease nerve tension.
