Automobile accidents can potentially cause significant injuries—from whiplash to fractures to sprains—to drivers, passengers, and individuals who happen to be walking or riding a bike nearby. At Cronk Chiropractic in Spokane, WA, Dr. Daniel Cronk and his staff of professionals offer complementary chiropractic and nonsurgical techniques that can help relieve intermittent or chronic pain resulting from an automobile crash.

Auto injuries can be tricky to detect because sometimes the symptoms may not manifest until hours or even days later. This delay is due to the adrenaline rush during the accident, which can temporarily mask the pain from an injury. That is why seeking a medical assessment after an accident is vital, even if you have no apparent signs or symptoms of an injury caused by the accident.

Common Injuries from Vehicle Accidents

Auto accident injuries vary and may range from minor bruising or cuts to severe or life-threatening conditions. The musculoskeletal system is often the area most affected by common auto accident injuries, which include the following -  

• Whiplash.
• Tears to ligaments.
• Tension headaches and migraines.
• Strains.
• Dislocation of joints.
• Shoulder and arm pain.
• Neck and back pain, among others.

Chiropractic Techniques to Treat an Auto Accident Injury

Dr. Cronk utilizes evidence-based treatment methods, incorporating advanced techniques such as Continuous Motion Adjustment, which his father, Dr. Ronald Cronk, developed over forty years ago. Continuous Motion adjustment provides gentle and specific treatment for back pain with powerful results. Other complementary approaches to managing symptoms and underlying conditions include -

• Therapeutic Laser.
• Trigger Point Therapy.
• Massage, Heat, and Cryotherapy.
• Whole Body Vibration.
• Mechanical Traction.

Remember, you may be asymptomatic or unaware of an injury or its extent or intensity. Choosing a chiropractor’s guidance and expertise after an automobile accident provides you with the opportunity to address an existing but yet-to-be-manifested auto accident injury.
