Accident Injury Treatments in Escondido

Common Injuries from Car Accidents

When a collision occurs, your body can be thrown between the seatbelt and seat, causing whiplash. Hands gripping the steering wheel or gear shift may suffer sprains or strains, while knees can hit the dashboard, resulting in bruising or injury. Shoulder injuries may result from seatbelt pressure, and herniated discs can affect your neck or lower back.

Signs You Might Need Chiropractic Care After a Car Accident

Symptoms vary depending on your injury. Whiplash can cause headaches, neck stiffness, and sensitivity to light or sound. In more severe cases, you may notice upper back pain and tingling sensations in your arms. Joint injuries in the knees, wrists, or shoulders often bring pain, swelling, and limited movement. Herniated discs may cause localized pain and radiating discomfort into your legs.
