Our clinic near welcomes you for compassionate accident injury treatments.
Auto collisions can cause injuries that may not show symptoms immediately after the event. These include sprains, strains, herniated discs, and whiplash. Many patients tell us that early care makes a big difference. At RNS Physical Therapy, we offer tailored treatments for auto accident injuries whether your collision was recent or happened some time ago.
Common Injuries from Car Accidents
When a car accident occurs, your body can be jolted violently between the seatbelt and seat. This often results in whiplash. If your hands were on the steering wheel or gear shift, wrist sprains and strains are common. Knees may hit the dashboard causing bruises or more serious injury. Shoulder injuries can happen from the seatbelt’s restraint, and herniated discs may develop in the neck or lower back.
How to Recognize Car Accident Injuries That Need Care
Symptoms vary based on the injury. Whiplash can cause headaches, neck stiffness, and sensitivity to light and sound. Some patients also notice upper back pain or tingling sensations in their arms. Joint injuries in the knees, wrists, or shoulders often cause pain, swelling, and limited movement. Herniated discs typically produce localized pain plus radiating pain down the legs or arms.
Accident Injury Treatments at RNS Physical Therapy
Our skilled team offers hands-on treatments for whiplash, joint injuries, and herniated discs resulting from auto accidents.
Adjustments and Care
We use gentle adjustments to correct joint misalignments in the spine and extremities, helping to reduce inflammation, speed healing, and restore motion.
Targeted Massage Therapy
Massage therapy relaxes muscles and tendons, easing pain and improving blood flow. Many patients find it helpful both before and after chiropractic care.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
For herniated discs and pinched nerves, spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to widen spaces between vertebrae, allowing discs to retract and heal.
