Have you recently experienced a car crash? Auto accidents are common and can often lead to serious injuries that impact every aspect of your life. Even a minor fender bender can leave you shaken and needing medical assistance. It’s wise to seek medical treatment promptly and then gain the assistance of an auto accident chiropractor if necessary.
Not every injury is immediately noticeable or causes pain right off the bat. In some cases, you might be clearly injured, but discomfort or pain may start to appear gradually in others. It’s common for an injury to take weeks before you notice pain or discomfort from an injury sustained during the accident.
At Trident Health & Chiropractic, our auto accident chiropractor specializes in assessing your condition post-accident. It's vital to proactively manage your injuries to prevent long-term complications and promote prompt healing.

Auto accidents can lead to a wide range of injuries, some of which are immediate and severe, while others may take a while to develop. The symptoms from a car accident injury will develop gradually over time.
Here's a brief list of common types of injuries that occur from an auto accident:
- Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries
- Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Broken bones and fractures

Benefits of seeing a chiropractor after an accident
Most personal injury lawyers will encourage you to seek medical care from a specialist chiropractor after an auto injury. In fact, it is often a requirement of certain insurance companies. Chiropractic care can help you better cope with any long-term problems that might occur as a result of the accident.
Seeing a chiropractor after a car accident can offer several benefits, especially if you are experiencing pain, discomfort, or reduced mobility.
- Pain Relief: Chiropractic care can help ease pain so you don’t have to worry about using opiate drugs or other prescription medications. You can start returning to the activities you love and enjoy without discomfort.
- Reduction of Inflammation: Chiropractic adjustments can ease painful inflammation.
- Improved Mobility: Injuries from car accidents, such as whiplash, can reduce mobility. Simply turning your head can become a painful chore. Chiropractic care can help restore mobility by realigning the spine and joints.
- Long-Term Healing and Health: Chiropractic care focuses on long-term healing so you can return to normal activities quickly.
- Non-Invasive Treatment: Chiropractic adjustments are a non-invasive treatment option so in many cases you can avoid surgery and other invasive treatments.
- Targeted Treatment Plans: Chiropractors can provide personalized treatment plans focusing on your injuries.
- Reduced Buildup of Painful Scare Tissue: Chiropractic care can help break down scar tissue that may form in muscles from an auto injury.
- Improve Blood Flow: Ongoing rehabilitation and chiropractic care will improve blood flow and ease the tension in the body so you can start to heal mentally and physically.
