A car accident can change the lives of many people in just a few seconds. But far beyond the instant damage that the accident causes, the impact of a car crash can cause long-lasting effects that begin as subtle and can complicate over time.
It’s important to visit a Coral Springs Car Accident Chiropractor as soon as possible following a car accident to ensure we treat your injury early so it doesn’t develop into something more serious. You may feel fine at the time of the crash, and begin to have symptoms like numb or tingling extremities long after the accident that can be attributed to the car crash.
Injuries caused by car accidents can be very devastating. Some are lucky enough to only suffer mild injuries and survive the traumatic experience without a single bruise. However, only a few surpass accidents without pain whether it is in the neck, shoulders, back and lower extremities.
After an automobile accident, it’s wise to seek help from a professional Coral Springs car accident chiropractor.
Most of the trauma that is experienced during a car accident is lumped under the category of soft tissue damage.
This can be hard to diagnose at the site of a car accident, as the damage is often discovered much later once the swelling and other secondary issues related to the injury reach their peak. There are many things that can be described as soft tissue damage. Here are some of the most common:
Whiplash: This is by far one of the most common and most serious examples of soft tissue damage. Whiplash is the injury of the spinal column caused by a severe jerk of the head. The largest danger with whiplash comes when the swelling around the site of the injury begins to pinch the spinal column, causing a number of different nerve issues.
Disc compression: This is what it sounds like. The vertebral discs are compressed together due to either micro fracturing or compression of the cartilage in between the vertebrae.
Sciatica: The nerve issues involved with sciatica come from swelling or misalignment of the lower back, which creates reduced nerve function along the sciatic nerve. Shooting pains and numbness down one leg or the other are common signs of sciatica.
