Car Accident Injury Recover in Addison, TX

Auto Accidents

A car accident can be a tragic event that can lead to serious injury. Car accident injuries won’t get better on their own, so it's a good idea to be evaluated as soon as possible. An auto accident chiropractor can help you heal naturally, quickly and effectively.

While chiropractic is often recommended after a car accident because it helps bring the spine back into proper alignment after whiplash or other accident-related injuries, at our office we offer chiropractic and other non-invasive therapies for car accident injuries that can accelerate healing, soothe pain, and support you along your healing journey.

If you have recently been involved in a car accident and experience discomfort because of your injuries, receiving care from a chiropractor could be beneficial to you and we are here to help.


We understand you or someone you know may have had injuries in the past that healed on their own in only a few days. When it comes to auto injuries, such as whiplash or herniated discs, recovery could take months. Don’t ignore your injury; address it as soon as possible! Schedule an appointment​ and we will work with you to drastically improve your rate of recovery and maximize your healing after your accident. Why live with pain, stiffness, and dizziness longer than you need to?

Chiropractic is a smart choice for auto injury care, and for good reason: Chiropractic is an efficient way to get you back to peak health after an auto collision. There are a myriad of advantages to seeing a chiropractor after a car accident, but to start, these three studies exhibit a few reasons why you'll want to get checked as soon as possible. 

50% Drop in Headaches with Chiropractic:
Headaches claim the well-being (and maybe even the sanity) of countless auto injury patients. That dull or sharp sensation above your eyes or at the back of your neck is not your imagination. Cervicogenic headaches are extremely common after a neck injury like whiplash caused by a car accident. Fortunately, a study shows that patients under chiropractic care are more likely to experience at least a 50% reduction in the frequency of headaches, allowing them to cut their pain medication usage by 33%.


Chiropractic Curbs Jaw Pain and TMJ Disorders:
Who knew that an injury from a car accident could spark a wave of problems in your jaw? For those of you with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, you'll be happy to know that chiropractic patients were significantly more likely to see a dip in pain compared to patients in a control group in one recent study.


93% of Whiplash Patients Improve with Chiropractic:
The painstaking truth is that nearly half of all whiplash patients are plagued with chronic symptoms. That means they could be forced to endure months or even decades dealing with the nagging results of their car crash injury. With chiropractic however, you don't have to live in the shadow of your accident forever. A landmark study showed that up to 93% of individuals with whiplash have decreased symptoms after receiving chiropractic care, including those who were treated four years after their injury. A so-called "incurable" condition was resolved with chiropractic care. Now that's something to be thankful for.
​

Whether you were hurt yesterday or five years ago, auto injuries can wreck havoc on your health and happiness. To get through the mayhem and get out of pain after a car accident, you'll need a guide who understands the problem and knows how to fix it. That's where our team come in. Together, we have successfully treated thousands of patients in the Addison and North Dallas area. So don't let an auto injury rule your life. Call Functional Health & Chiropractic Care right now to get checked. 

What causes whiplash?
Whiplash occurs when the anterior longitudinal ligament in your neck is stretched or torn. Rear-impact car accidents are amongst the most common causes of whiplash, as the head is suddenly and violently jerked forward and back. Reports show that over 1 million whiplash injuries occur each year as a result of an auto accident. This number does not shock us in the chiropractic community. In fact, we know that this number would be much larger if all whiplash injuries were reported.

What are the symptoms of whiplash? 
Symptoms of whiplash vary depending on severity, but the most common symptoms are pain, stiffness, and discomfort in the neck, back, jaw, or shoulders, as well as frequent headaches and blurred vision.

Can whiplash heal on it’s own?
As the old saying goes, time heals all wounds. Occasionally, this saying can be applied to mild cases of whiplash, but when it comes to severe whiplash, it is always best to seek the advice of a professional. If treatment is delayed or avoided more serious complications can occur.

Can chiropractic care help me with other auto injuries?
Absolutely. Chiropractic care has been known to eradicate spine misalignment, postural issues, and muscle tension, as well as reduce mental stress. 

I was just in a car accident; when should I go see a chiropractor?
We recommend that you schedule an appointment to see a chiropractor as soon as you can. As is common with minor car accidents, those involved are greatly concerned about the condition of their automobile. We understand your sense of urgency to return your vehicle and life back to normal as quickly as possible, however, repairs to your vehicle can be put off without much consequence, your body, on the other hand, needs immediate attention if damage is to be reversed.

I don’t have health insurance; will my car insurance cover my treatment costs?
If you were not at fault and if you have comprehensive auto insurance, chances are your medical bills will be covered. Dr. Lizie Pilicy is accepted by most major insurance companies in Texas and our staff is extremely experienced with the insurance claims process. If you have questions regarding your insurance policy please do hesitate to ask us.

I already went to the emergency room, why should I go to a chiropractor too?
It is always a wise decision to pursue medical attention directly after an automobile accident. But, as is the case with many auto accident injuries, neck and back symptoms don’t immediately express themselves. We trust that your medical doctor in Addison has performed a thorough assessment of your condition, and if required, has recommended the necessary supplements. However, chiropractic care aims to address problems that will occur days or weeks after the incident.

Should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?
Here are a few reasons to call our chiropractic clinic in Addison following an auto accident:


Chiropractic Care Can Deliver Instant Relief
Chances are, right after an auto accident, you will start feelings some aches and pains, stiffness, and both neck pain and back pain. This is because even small fender benders can put a lot of pressure and strain on the body. Most people start to feel those aches and pains right away, and particularly the next morning following the accident. Your family chiropractor can help you get out of that immediate pain and help you get on a path to recovery right away. With regular adjustments, ice, heat and other treatments you can start feeling like yourself again after your accident.

Some Injuries Take Weeks or Months to Appear
Did you know what whiplash injuries often take weeks to present symptoms? Whiplash is the most common injury caused by car accidents. In some cases, it can take months for you to start feeling the neck pain and back pain associated with whiplash injuries. Visiting your chiropractor right away for an exam and x-rays can help you stay on top of the injury, diagnose it early and start with treatments so that pain doesn’t creep up on you in the future.

Minor Auto Accidents Can Lead to Major Injuries
If you find yourself in a small fender bender, you might not be thinking too much about big auto injuries. However, sometimes even the most minor fender benders can cause substantial physical pain. Even auto collisions that happen at relatively low speeds can cause trauma to your muscles, tendons, bones and ligaments. It can also cause a serious misalignment. Even if a car is only traveling a few miles per hour, that is a lot of force going through your body. This is why it is always better to be safe instead of sorry and visit your chiropractor right away.

It Can Deliver Peace of Mind
There are some people who get in major car accidents and come out without any substantial injuries while others can be in the smaller fender bender and have serious auto injuries. This is why it is so important to get yourself checked out by a doctor even if you aren’t sure. Visiting your local car accident chiropractor can help you get that much-needed peace of mind.
