Auto Injury

Car accidents are very scary and stressful situations. People often experience whiplash, where the head is suddenly and violently jolted forward, backward, or to the side. Many times traditional doctors don’t do enough to heal such an injury. At Carolina Chiropractic Center, located in Florence, SC., Dr. James Huggins Jr. will work with you to fully relieve your pain and symptoms.

 

Soft tissue injuries often go overlooked after a car accident. But these injuries can be just as bothersome as others. As mentioned, whiplash happens when the head is suddenly thrown forward, backward or to the side. This is commonly seen in rear-end car accidents. The result is a destabilization of the spine. A variety of symptoms arise from this. The most common are blurred vision, headaches, dizziness, shoulder pain, reduced range of motion in the neck, arm pain, neck stiffness, and low back pain. This is not a life-threatening injury, but left untreated will result in chronic pain.

 

Dr. Huggins Jr. can evaluate you after an auto accident. From this evaluation and your symptoms, a treatment plan can be created. In most cases, spinal adjustments can be made. Physical therapy can be utilized, with our staff giving you exercises that will help improve healing and range of motion. Massage therapy has also proven to be beneficial. Early detection is key to preventing and determining any problems before they have a chance to develop.
