Auto Accident Injuries and Whiplash

A car accident impacts your health in unexpected ways. While you may expect some discomfort immediately after an accident, some injuries persist and complicate your life. You may also notice neck pain, back pain or other complications that impact your ability to engage in your favorite activities. At Cole Chiropractic Clinic, we offer treatment to Tulsa residents who get into an auto accident and want to address their injuries.

Injuries Our Chiropractor in Tulsa Treats

Our chiropractor in Tulsa, Dr. Cole, treats a variety of injuries that may occur in a car accident. Depending on your auto accident injury, we may develop a variety of treatment strategies to help with your goals.

The common injuries that may occur include:

  • Whiplash or related neck injuries
  • Herniated discs in your spine, which cause back pain
  • Pinched nerves, such as sciatica
  • Scoliosis, or a curvature to the spine
  • Car seat belt injury, which may range from minor bruising to pain while breathing or moving
  • Neck pain
  • Back pain
  • Injuries to your extremities, like your legs and arms

The severity of your injuries depend on the accident and the angle of the impact. In some cases, you may not notice injuries immediately after the accident. Some injuries, like whiplash and strained muscles, may not cause clear symptoms for a few hours to a few days after the accident.

Why Seek Treatment from a Tulsa Chiropractor?

Seeking treatment from our Tulsa chiropractor, Dr. Cole, allows you to address the injuries and identify the underlying complications that may interfere with your health. At our clinic, we take an auto accident injury seriously and always use up-to-date diagnostic tools like an x-ray to determine the severity of your injuries. Depending on the injuries, we recommend a treatment process. In some cases, we may suggest medical care due to a broken or cracked bone that may require additional treatment. We take the time to identify your injuries and clarify your situation before developing a natural strategy for pain relief.

When Should You Seek Help?

As a general rule, seek treatment from Dr. Cole immediately after the accident. Early detection and treatment of your injuries allows you to prevent worsening the discomfort. If you do not seek treatment immediately, then talk to us when you notice pain. 

Some injuries, like whiplash or muscle injuries, do not cause obvious symptoms. Early treatment helps prevent long-term discomfort by encouraging healing and helping you strengthen your body with corrective exercises. We also offer solutions for car seat belt injury that may take time to heal and help with pain management while your body recovers from the accident.

An auto accident impacts your entire body. Depending on the severity of your injuries, a treatment plan at our clinic may offer the tools you need to recover without harsh side effects.
