Car Accident Chiropractor in Lafayette, CA

Car accidents can place sudden stress on the spine and surrounding tissues, even in low-speed collisions. Symptoms may not appear immediately and can develop hours or days after the accident.

At Village Chiropractic in Lafayette, care focuses on evaluating and treating injuries related to motor vehicle accidents.

Common Injuries After a Car Accident

Auto accidents can lead to:

• Whiplash

• Neck pain

• Back pain

• Headaches

• Disc injuries

• Sciatica

• Muscle strain

Whiplash and Neck Injuries

Whiplash occurs when the head is rapidly forced backward and forward. This motion can strain the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck.

Symptoms may include:

• Neck pain and stiffness

• Headaches

• Reduced range of motion

• Shoulder pain

How Chiropractic Care May Help

Treatment focuses on restoring normal movement and reducing irritation in the spine.

Chiropractic adjustments may help improve joint motion, while soft tissue therapy and mobility exercises may help reduce muscle tension and improve function.

Care is tailored to the individual and based on the specific injuries involved.

When to Seek Evaluation After an Accident

Even if symptoms are mild, it is important to be evaluated after a car accident.

Early assessment can help identify injuries and guide appropriate care before symptoms become more severe.
