Why Chiropractic Care Matters for Car Accident Injuries
Car Accident Injury Treatment
If you’ve been involved in a car accident, it’s important to seek chiropractic care as soon as possible to address any potential injuries to your spine, extremities, and nervous system. Even if you don’t feel pain right away, it’s possible to have underlying injuries that can worsen over time if left untreated.
Chiropractors at Ponte Vedra Spine Center are trained to assess and diagnose injuries to the musculoskeletal system, including the spine, shoulder, and can provide effective treatment to help you recover. They use a combination of manual adjustments, exercise, and other therapies to help relieve pain, restore function, and promote healing. A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics in 2016, showed that patients who received chiropractic care for whiplash injuries after a car accident had significantly improved pain and disability scores compared to those who received traditional medical care alone.
Some common car accident injuries that can benefit from chiropractic care include:
Whiplash
The impact of a car accident can cause injury to the vertebrae, discs, or muscles of your back.
Back Pain

Whiplash and other injuries can also cause headaches.
Stiffness
After a car accident, you may feel stiffness in the neck, back or shoulder due to muscle spasms.
