After a car accident, the most useful thing you can do is get your spine checked within a few days, even if you feel fine. Adrenaline masks pain, and the stiffness, headaches, and back pain from a collision often show up a day or two later. At Limitless Chiropractic in Ballantyne, we evaluate you promptly, document the injury with 3D imaging, and start gentle care before small problems settle in.
A collision loads the spine in a way everyday life never does. Your head moves forward and back faster than the muscles can react, which is how whiplash happens, and the seatbelt and seat transfer that force into your mid and low back. The damage is often to ligaments and joints, which standard X-rays do not show.
Get emergency care first if you need it. Once the hospital or urgent care has ruled out fractures and anything urgent, we are the next step for the neck and back pain that follows.
Injuries we see after car accidents
- Whiplash, neck pain, and stiffness
- Headaches that start at the base of the skull
- Mid back and lower back pain from the seatbelt and seat
- Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs from a pinched nerve
- Shoulder pain from bracing against the wheel
- Dizziness after the impact
Why documentation matters
Our 3D imaging records the position of your vertebrae shortly after the crash, and thermography shows where your nervous system is under stress. That gives you an objective record of what the accident did, which is useful for you, your other providers, and your attorney if you have one.
We give you clear copies of your findings and are glad to share records with the rest of your care team.
