Many injuries from an auto accident stem from the impact, so the severity varies significantly based on the speed of the vehicle and the speed of the other car or object. For example, a high speed in your vehicle may result in more extensive injuries like a concussion or a herniated disc. Accidents occurring at a low speed may result in less extensive injuries, like whiplash, but it still impacts your health.

Common injuries from an accident in your vehicle include:

• Broken bones
• Bruises and cuts
• Head injuries, including a concussion
• Headaches from whiplash or other muscle strains
• General hip pain
• Back injuries and back strain
• Injuries to your neck, including whiplash
• Injuries to internal systems, like internal bleeding or bruising

Whether you have a neck injury or a broken bone, you want to work with a professional to ensure that your treatment process works for your goals. A chiropractor in our clinic provides treatment for an auto accident injury based on your needs and situation. We use diagnostic tools, like an x-ray, to evaluate the injuries and identify an appropriate treatment strategy for your goals.

When you visit a chiropractor in Jacksonville, you want to understand the process of identifying and diagnosing an injury. At our clinic, we use an x-ray and similar diagnostic tools to determine the extent of your injuries. A key reason for the diagnostic strategy is an effective treatment strategy. For example, pain in your back may stem from a back strain or it may relate to a cracked or bruised bone. You might have a herniated disc or a minor neck injury causing the discomfort.

By evaluating the severity of your injuries with appropriate diagnostic tools, we prevent further injuries from inappropriate treatment. We manage your health by identifying the right tools and then working on reducing your pain. We also take the time to ensure you have appropriate solutions for hip pain, whiplash and even chronic headaches stemming from your accident.

When necessary, we recommend medical treatment for your injuries. For example, if we discover a broken or cracked bone, then we may suggest visiting a medical doctor for a cast. We focus on treatment strategies for your specific needs and we develop a customized plan of action.
