18 Wheeler Accident Doctors in Houston

Tractor-trailer accidents can cause devastating, life-changing injuries because of the enormous size and weight. Every day, thousands of semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and other commercial vehicles travel through Houston on Interstate. They use 10 (I-10), Interstate 45 (I-45), Interstate 69 (US-59), Interstate 610 (Loop 610), Beltway 8, and the Sam Houston Tollway. A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, making crashes with passenger vehicles far more likely to result in serious injuries.

Our doctors have over 20 years’ experience treating injuries caused by commercial truck accidents. Our Houston accident clinic provides comprehensive care, including chiropractic treatment, physical therapy, diagnostic imaging, and referrals to orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and pain management specialists. We focus on helping you recover while thoroughly documenting your injuries for your attorney.

Because of the tremendous force involved in a truck accident, injuries are often much more severe than those sustained in a typical car crash. Common injuries include:

Whiplash and neck injuries
Herniated or bulging discs
Back injuries
Shoulder injuries
Knee injuries
Soft tissue injuries
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries
Broken bones and fractures

Commercial truck accident claims are often more complicated than standard accident cases. Liability may involve the truck driver, trucking company, cargo loading company, and multiple insurance companies. You may need an attorney to help you out after being involved in one of these crashes. We offer free attorney consultations to anyone who wants one.

If you’ve been injured in a tractor-trailer accident in Houston, our team is here to help. We offer same-day appointments, accept Texas PIP auto insurance and attorney liens. Our goal is to help you receive the treatment you need and get back on the road to recovery as quickly as possible.

Injuries our clinic 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. 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.
Numbness — loss of sensation in the arms, hands, legs, or feet.
Tingling — “pins and needles” caused by nerve irritation.
Weakness — trouble lifting objects, gripping, or walking normally.
Radiating pain — discomfort that travels down the arms or legs (sciatica).

These symptoms can appear immediately or develop over several days as inflammation increases.

Treatments

Chiropractic care — spinal adjustments to reduce pressure on the affected disc and improve alignment.
Physical therapy — targeted exercises that strengthen the spine, improve flexibility, and reduce inflammation.
Pain management — options may include anti‑inflammatory strategies or other doctor‑guided approaches to reduce discomfort. (injections)
Spinal decompression — non‑surgical traction that helps relieve pressure on compressed nerves.
Massage therapy — reduces muscle tension and improves circulation around injured tissues.
Heat and ice therapy — helps manage swelling and stiffness in the early stages.
Activity modification — avoiding movements that make pain worse.

Concussions & Headaches

Symptoms

Persistent headaches — dull, sharp, or throbbing pain that doesn’t go away.
Dizziness — feeling lightheaded or unsteady.
Nausea — sometimes accompanied by vomiting.
Sensitivity to light — bright lights worsen discomfort.
Confusion — trouble thinking clearly or feeling “foggy.”

Physical therapy — exercises that restore neck strength, reduce stiffness, and improve posture.
Pain management — treatments to reduce headaches, neck pain, and inflammation.
