Auto Accident Injury Treatment
Injured in a car accident? Get evaluated now—early treatment can prevent long-term pain and complications.
Auto Accident Injury Treatment at Spring Spine Center
Even minor accidents that seem minor can have major effects on your body. At Spring Spine Center, we specialize in treating whiplash and other auto accident-related injuries, helping patients recover safely and effectively—whether the accident happened yesterday or years ago.
Many car crash injuries don’t produce symptoms right away. Whiplash, for example, can take days or even weeks to cause noticeable pain or stiffness. This delay often leads people to underestimate their injuries, missing the critical window for early intervention. Left untreated, these injuries can worsen over time and may lead to chronic pain, joint dysfunction, and long-term mobility issues.
Don’t Wait for Symptoms to Appear
After an accident, adrenaline and shock can mask symptoms of soft tissue damage, disc injury, or joint misalignment. You may feel “fine” at first—but beneath the surface, your body may be dealing with:
- Strained or torn ligaments and muscles
- Misaligned vertebrae
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Inflammation around joints or nerves
The sooner you’re evaluated, the better your chances of avoiding long-term complications.
Understanding Whiplash and Auto Accident Injuries
Whiplash is the most common injury following a car accident. It occurs when the head is suddenly and forcefully thrown backward, forward, or sideways—placing intense strain on the muscles, ligaments, discs, and joints of the neck and upper back.
Common symptoms of whiplash and auto accident injuries include:
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Headaches, often starting at the base of the skull
- Shoulder and upper back pain
- Dizziness or blurred vision
- Fatigue or difficulty concentrating
- Reduced range of motion
Unfortunately, many people ignore these symptoms until they become more severe—or permanent. Studies show that nearly half of whiplash victims still report ongoing symptoms years after settling their insurance claims.

Old Injuries Can Still Be Treated
Many patients don’t realize that the chronic pain they’re experiencing today may be the result of an untreated auto accident injury from years ago. Hidden disc damage, scar tissue, and joint instability can continue to cause discomfort long after the incident.
If you’ve had a car accident—even if it was months or years ago—and you’re still dealing with pain, stiffness, or limited range of motion, it’s not too late to get the help you need.
Why Chiropractic for Auto Injuries?
According to the Insurance Research Council, nearly one-third of all auto injury claimants seek chiropractic care. Chiropractors are specially trained to treat musculoskeletal injuries—particularly those related to whiplash, spinal misalignment, and soft tissue damage.
At Spring Spine Center, we have experience with both acute injury care and long-term rehabilitation, making us a trusted provider for accident victims seeking natural, effective pain relief. Our doctors have advanced postdoctoral certifications in Whiplash Traumatology and Biomechanics from the Spine Research Center of San Diego and have extensive experience in expert testimony for auto injuries.
Get Evaluated. Get Relief. Get Documentation.
If you’ve been in a car wreck, the most important step you can take is to see a doctor immediately—even if you’re not in pain yet. An early evaluation helps:
- Identify and treat hidden injuries
- Prevent complications from delayed care
- Create official medical documentation, should you need legal support
We work with both insured and uninsured patients and can coordinate with your personal injury attorney if needed.
