Treating Car Accident Injuries

Automobile accidents can be very detrimental to your health, particularly to your spine. Dr. Timothy Knuuttila is a Chiropractor in Bridgeton that specializes in treating injuries caused by automobile accidents.

The most common injury sustained in a car accident, is whiplash. Whiplash is a rapid back and forth movement of the head and neck that can occur during a car accident, causing damage to the neck.  A car accident can cause many other injuries to areas of your body including injuries to the mid back, low back, chest, ribs, arms and legs.    

How do most victims feel following a car accident? Most people feel only mild symptoms directly following the accident. The typical progression of symptoms following injuries sustained after an accident, will start with mild symptoms and then develop into neck pain, tightness, muscle soreness, headaches, back pain, reduced range of motion and in some severe cases, burning, tingling, numbness, and shooting sensations.

What should you do directly after an accident?   Make an appointment with a Specialist in the field, as soon as possible to get an evaluation.  I specialize in treating car accident victims and after a thorough consultation and examination, you will be treated with the utmost care for your injuries with a plan for recovery.
