Common Auto Accident Injuries of the Neck, Back, and Shoulders

The forces placed on the spine during an auto accident can be tremendous, especially if you were rear-ended. The neck is most prone to injury since it is virtually unrestrained. The back and forth motion between your seat and seat belt caused by the impact of the crash can forcefully extend your neck beyond its normal range of motion, causing whiplash. You may also develop a herniated disc in your neck or lower back due to the forced placed on your spine, and the shoulder harness can result in a shoulder injury.  If you think you have a car accident injury, it's important to get seen by our chiropractor in Joliet, IL as soon as possible.

Chiropractic Care for Auto Accident Injuries

Dr. Lisa Rubis offers chiropractic care for auto accident injuries. Your treatment program starts with an initial consultation and examination that may include x-rays of your spine. Depending on the type and severity of your injuries, our chiropractor in Joliet may recommend manual or activator adjustments, massage therapy, cold laser therapy, kinesiology tape and/or physical therapy with our physiatrist, Dr. Varma.

Chiropractic adjustments are beneficial in treating whiplash, herniated discs, and shoulder injuries. Massage therapy can help reduce muscle and soft tissue pain while improving circulation. We often recommend massage therapy along with chiropractic adjustments.

Cold laser therapy can help heal soft tissue injuries and help reduce localized inflammation. If your injury had caused muscle instability, we may recommend kinesiology tape, and physical therapy can help rebuild the strength of your injured muscles.
