Sustained Car Accident Injuries? Let Senft Chiropractic of Atlanta Help You!

Here at Senft Chiropractic of Atlanta, we know that a car crash can leave you injured and in pain. Your body has been thrown in various directions due to the impact of the crash and this may have caused issues with your muscles, tendons, tissues, and joints. An auto injury chiropractor, such as us, can help to naturally treat these injuries, decreasing the pain you experience and helping you to heal. Here are a few of the common injuries you may sustain after a car accident. 

Whiplash Injury

One of the most common injuries that people sustain in car accidents is whiplash. Whiplash occurs when your head and neck are forcefully thrown forward or to the side in a car accident. The motion of your head moving forward or to the side causes you to overexert your muscles, tear tendons and cause injury to the soft tissue surrounding the area. 

Neck Injury

While whiplash is one form of a neck injury, there are many other neck injuries that people sustain in a car accident. Many times, these neck injuries cause stiffness to the neck and shoulder areas or pain. They can also cause headaches. If you have pain in your neck or shoulder region following a car accident or are experiencing headaches, you likely have a neck injury. 

Back Injury

A car accident can cause injuries to your back. Some people sustain upper back injuries, while others sustain lower back injuries. The sciatic nerve can also be pinched or injured, which can cause shooting pain in the back or up and down one or both legs. 

Leg and Knee Injury

The last type of injury that is common with car accidents is leg and knee injuries. Your legs and knees can be thrown forward into the dashboard when an accident occurs, or you may tense up if you see it coming, causing your legs to stiffen and tighten. Your legs and knees can experience swelling, muscle tenderness, tissue damage and tendon damage due to a car accident.
