If experience an auto accident, it's important to receive treatment for any injuries that you may have, as these injuries can cause further damage and become chronic. An auto accident injury can be caused by your airbag or seatbelt, which can result in pain, stiffness, and poor range of motion in your cervical spine. At A Family Practice & Wellness Center in Cartersville, GA, Dr. Eric Fromm and Dr. Scott Habers provide treatment for patients who may be suffering from an auto accident injury. We will examine the condition of your spine and the surrounding tissues in order to help relieve any discomfort and improve your range of motion.
Common Injuries from Airbags and Seatbelts
Airbags and seatbelts are designed to protect you from damage if you are in an auto accident. However, these safety systems can cause a variety of common injuries. The impact of an airbag can leave you with soft tissue injuries, pulled muscles, headaches, shoulder pain, and a sore neck. Wearing a seatbelt during the impact of a collision can lead to whiplash, cervical pain, lower back pain, or tissue damage.
Chiropractic Treatment
Your treatment after an auto accident injury may involve chiropractic adjustments, decompression techniques, hot or cold therapy, massage therapy, or ultrasound therapy. The methods used will depend on your needs and will require several sessions a week during the early stages of treatment. As you begin to heal, your appointments will be less frequent.
