Common Auto Accidents Our Chiropractor Treats
Being in a car accident can affect your physical and mental health. Our patients often don’t even realize they are injured until the adrenaline wears off and they are trying to get back to their regular routine. At Back 2 Health Chiropractic, Dr. Brent Fetzer is committed to helping his patients overcome pain and discomfort associated with auto injuries in Lebanon, TN. Here is a look at the most common auto injuries he treats.
Head Injuries and Concussions
When you visit our office for auto injury treatment, Dr. Fetzer will immediately screen you for signs of common auto injuries like whiplash, head injuries, and concussions. He will do a neurological screening to see if you show any warning signs of a head injury or concussion, and he will work with your primary care physician to coordinate concussion treatment. Ignoring symptoms of a concussion, or not getting swift treatment after a car accident, can increase your risk of complications.
Neck Injuries and Whiplash
Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when your head or neck is jerked forward and backward or from side to side, injuring the nerves, muscles, tendons, or cervical spine. You might develop worsening neck pain and stiffness, loss of range of motion in the neck, numbness and tingling in the neck and arm, tenderness or pain in the shoulders, headaches and migraines, trouble sleeping, and irritability. Dr. Fetzer also treats other neck injuries, like herniated discs, cervicogenic vertigo, and neck strain.
Back Injuries and Herniated Discs
Dr. Fetzer can address back pain, muscle tightness or stiffness, trouble sitting or standing, numbness and tingling, sciatica, and other back injury symptoms. A herniated disc can occur if you suffered trauma to your back during the accident, causing one of the discs in your spine to break open or shift out of place. You may develop back pain and sciatica symptoms, including nerve pain that radiates from your back down one leg, numbness and tingling, a pins and needles feeling, muscle weakness, and trouble standing and walking.
Stress, Headaches, and Migraines
Many of our patients experience chronic stress and anxiety after being in a car accident. Stress can lead to aches and pains, headaches, migraines, sleep issues, loss of appetite, depression, trouble at work, and difficulty maintaining relationships with friends and family. Dr. Fetzer can help you develop stress management techniques that offer relief and improve your overall health and wellness.
