Why Choose our Rideshare Accident Doctors

Rideshare accidents can cause a lot of confusion with the claims process. Doctor Milhous knows how to help you get the treatment and the services you need after one. Keep in mind that some injuries do not cause pain the day of your rideshare accident. We recommend you come see us immediately. In some, not all cases, pain may not start until hours or days after the collision. This is due to adrenaline. After the adrenaline wears off, that’s when the pain and inflammation start.

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 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 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.

  • 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.”
  • Difficulty concentrating — challenges focusing on tasks or conversations.

Treatments

  • Rest and activity modification — limiting screen time, bright lights, and strenuous activity while your brain and neck recover.
  • Chiropractic care — gentle adjustments to relieve neck tension and improve mobility.
  • Physical therapy — exercises that restore neck strength, reduce stiffness, and improve posture.
  • Pain management — treatments to reduce headaches, neck pain, and inflammation.
  • Massage therapy — helps relax tight muscles contributing to headache pain.
  • Cold or heat therapy — reduces swelling and muscle tension in the neck.
  • Cognitive rest — avoiding overstimulation to help reduce confusion, dizziness, and concentration issues.

  • Pain and tenderness — soreness in the neck, back, shoulders, or other affected areas.
  • Swelling — inflammation around strained muscles or ligaments.
  • Bruising — discoloration from damaged blood vessels.
  • Stiffness — difficulty moving the injured area.
  • Muscle spasms — involuntary tightening or cramping.
  • Reduced range of motion — trouble bending, twisting, or lifting.
  • Numbness or tingling — often caused by inflammation pressing on nearby nerves.

  • Rest and activity modification — avoiding movements that cause increased pain while allowing gentle mobility.
  • Ice and heat therapy — ice reduces swelling; heat relaxes tight muscles.
  • Chiropractic care — helps restore alignment and reduce strain.
  • Physical therapy — targeted exercises to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.
  • Massage therapy — reduces tension and improves circulation.

Seatbelts usually cause this type of injury. You may experience sprains, strains, rotator cuff injuries, joint damage, or reduced range of motion. Symptoms may be pain, weakness, swelling, or difficulty lifting your arm.

Otten occurs during side-impact and front-end collisions. The force can cause sprains, fractures, tendon injuries, bruising, or damage to the joints and soft tissues of the feet and ankles. These injuries can make standing, walking, and driving difficult.

Hand, elbow, and wrist injuries occur as occupants instinctively brace for impact.
