Common Injury Symptoms After a Car Accident
Certain car accident injury symptoms may not show up for weeks or even months after the accident. Visiting Dr. Joseph Meeting, DC, ART, DNS here at ChiroConcepts of Frisco North after being in an auto accident will ensure that your injuries are fully evaluated and diagnosed, and that you get the auto injury treatment you need to avoid chronic pain and disability. Dr. Meeting can provide chiropractic care to help relieve common car accident injury symptoms, including:
Dizziness and Nausea
Experiencing dizziness and nausea after an auto accident may be a sign that you have a head injury or a concussion. If you also have vomiting, blurred vision, disorientation, trouble concentrating, and difficulty walking or standing, visit a doctor immediately for an examination.
Headaches or Migraines
Headaches and migraines after an auto accident could be a sign of a head injury, but they are also symptoms of less serious injuries. Stress and anxiety after the accident can cause tension headaches, and whiplash can cause neck pain and headaches. Visit Dr. Meeting for evaluation of your symptoms to make sure you don’t have a serious injury.
Neck or Shoulder Pain
Neck and shoulder pain are very common after a car accident and can simply be a symptom of being tossed around in the car or snapped back into your seat by a seatbelt. Whiplash, a very common car accident injury, causes neck and shoulder pain and strain, as well as neck tenderness, loss of range of motion in the neck, and headaches.
Back Pain
The back can easily be injured in a car accident, even a minor one, just due to the force of being pushed or slammed around in your car’s seat. Without the right chiropractic care, back pain can become chronic and can even affect your ability to exercise, walk, work, and take part in activities you once enjoyed.
Numbness, Tingling, or Muscle Weakness
Numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness can be a sign of a nerve injury like a compressed nerve. Dr. Meeting can perform imaging tests like an MRI, x-ray, or CT scan to determine if you have a compressed nerve, herniated disc, or broken bone that might be putting pressure on a nerve.
