Auto Injury Treatment at ChiroMend Natural Health Center
Understanding Auto Injuries After a Car Crash
Auto injuries, from high-speed collisions to seemingly minor fender-benders, can leave behind serious damage. Even when the crash seems minor, ligament sprains, spinal restrictions, and nerve injury may follow. Early intervention is key to preventing chronic pain and long-term disability.
At ChiroMend Natural Health Center in Glenview, IL, we understand that trauma may not show symptoms immediately. Some patients feel fine after an accident, only to develop stiffness, headaches, or back pain days later. Thorough assessment and prompt care are essential.
Typical symptoms include:
- Neck pain, stiffness, or decreased range of motion (often whiplash)
- Back pain, hip or sacroiliac discomfort
- Headaches, dizziness, or light sensitivity
- Shoulder, arm, or leg pain from nerve irritation or misalignment
- Muscle tension, scar tissue, or reduced mobility
- Chronic or recurrent pain if untreated
Common types of auto injuries:
- Whiplash – sudden forced motion of the head/neck
- Soft-tissue sprains/strains – ligament and tendon overload
- Spinal mechanical disruptions – vertebral restrictions impinging nerves
- Nerve impingement or irritation – from inflammation or scar tissue
