Injuries our Chiropractor Treats

Whiplash

Whiplash is one of the most frequent accident injuries. It occurs when the neck is violently thrown backward and forward in a rapid, snapping motion. It’s especially common in rear‑end collisions.

Symptoms:

Neck pain
Neck stiffness — difficulty turning your neck.
Headaches — typically starting at the base of the skull.
Shoulder or upper‑back pain — soreness radiating from the neck.
Reduced range of motion — trouble looking over your shoulder or tilting your head.
Tenderness — muscles and ligaments feel sore to the touch.
Dizziness — often due to soft‑tissue strain.
Fatigue — feeling tired.

Stiffness and Neck Pain

Neck pain and stiffness are very common after accident in Augusta. Even when the crash happens at low speeds and is considered a minor crash. The sudden force of impact can strain the muscles, ligaments, and joints in your neck. This can leave you sore, tight, and unable to move comfortably.

These symptoms can develop immediately or within the next 24–48 hours.

Back & Spinal Injuries

Back and spinal injuries occur when the impact forces your spine to move unnaturally. These injuries can affect the lower back, mid‑back, or even the nerves that run down your arms and legs This leads to a wide range of symptoms you shouldn’t ignore.

Symptoms of Back & Spinal Injuries After a Crash

Lower back pain — dull, sharp, or radiating pain that gets worse with movement.
Mid‑back pain — often caused by muscle strain or joint irritation.
Muscle strains — tightness, spasms, or soreness along the spine.
Nerve compression — pressure on spinal nerves that may cause: Numbness, tingling, and radiating pain down the arms and legs.

These symptoms can appear immediately or develop over the next few days.

Herniated Discs & Bulging Discs

Herniated and bulging discs are caused when the force of the crash causes the soft discs between your vertebrae to shift, tear, or become compressed. When a disc moves out of place or presses on nearby nerves, it can trigger a wide range of symptoms

Symptoms:

Back pain — sharp, aching, or radiating discomfort in the lower or mid‑back.
Stiffness — difficulty bending, twisting, or standing upright.

Treatments

Chiropractic care — spinal adjustments to reduce pressure on the affected disc and improve alignment.

Pain management — options may include anti‑inflammatory strategies or other doctor‑guided approaches to reduce discomfort. (injections)
