Car Accident Care
In Dallas, TX
After a car accident, you and your injuries come first. Get checked soon, even if you feel fine.
Signs to Watch For
After a Crash
Some people notice signs of whiplash right away. Others are injured and feel nothing at all.
Signs that can show up right away
Blurred vision, headaches, shoulder pain, dizziness, reduced range of motion and arm pain can all be signs of a whiplash injury.
Damage you may not feel yet
Whiplash can also cause back, muscle, ligament and disc injuries. A crash that seems minor can injure a disc, and it may show up months or years later as a bulging or torn disc.
Why sooner is better
Left untreated, neck and back injuries can become serious and nag you for the rest of your life. Prompt evaluation and care can help prevent lifelong problems.

Why See a Chiropractor
After a Car Accident

Specialists in soft and hard tissue
Chiropractors treat the neck and back injuries that follow auto accidents and can help relieve the intense muscle pain and stiffness that keep you from moving normally.
Finding what you cannot feel
Chiropractors are experts at uncovering underlying issues after an accident, so problems you cannot feel yet can be found and treated.

Treating pain or whiplash should never be secondary to taking your car to the mechanic or working with your insurance company.
