Auto Accident Chiropractor in Pleasanton, CA

Fact is, most of the injuries sustained in a car accident are below the surface of the skin. Car accidents typically involve a sudden violent impact, causing a significant amount of trauma on the body, even if you can’t see it. For most patients, we can see swelling, inflammation, and damage to soft tissue for weeks after the accident. Patients often suffer from a stiff neck, headaches, sore muscles, blurred vision, reduced range of motion in their legs, feet, arms, or hands, and so much more. Sadly, most people just associate this with a “normal” feeling after a car accident and that it will subside with some ibuprofen. Unfortunately, these injuries can often lead to more serious injuries down the road as your body looks to compensate for the pain that you are experiencing. Over time, we see patients develop limps, they lean to one side or the other, they suffer from chronic headaches, they have a limited range of motion, and they simply stop enjoying the activities they once enjoyed. When a patient waits to get treatment, these injuries become much more difficult to correct and treat.
