Signs You Need Chiropractic Auto Injury Treatment
After an auto accident, you may be stressed, overwhelmed, and confused. Your adrenaline might be affecting your ability to make decisions or properly assess your auto injuries. Adrenaline can actually mask symptoms of injury and lead you to believe you’re fine. Dr. David Waldrop at Texoma Wellness Center recommends that his patients see him as soon as possible after a car accident. He can provide a thorough examination, test for hidden auto injury, and design a personalized injury rehabilitation plan. Here are some of the signs you need auto injury chiropractic care in Whitesboro, TX.
Persistent or Worsening Pain
If you feel sore for a few days after a car accident but the pain subsides with rest and over-the-counter pain medication, you likely don’t have a serious injury. However, if your pain persists or worsens even after rest and medication, you may have an underlying injury that requires professional attention.
Neurological Symptoms
Without treatment, some auto injuries like whiplash, head injury, and concussion, can cause serious neurological symptoms. Make an appointment right away if you are experiencing any of these symptoms after a car accident, especially if you hit your head:
- Worsening headaches or migraines
- Vision problems or changes in vision
- Tinnitus or a ringing in your ears
- Dizziness or disorientation
- Loss of consciousness
- Numbness or tingling in your arms or legs
- Vertigo or balance problems
- Intense fatigue
- Mood swings
- Trouble swallowing
Trouble Walking or Holding Objects
Nerve damage can cause a range of symptoms, including sharp or burning pain that radiates from one part of the body to another, muscle weakness, a pins and needles feeling, and numbness or a tingling sensation. These symptoms might make it hard for you to walk, hold or carry objects, or complete simple tasks. If you have any of these symptoms, you should make an appointment right away.
Trouble Sleeping, Mood Swings, Stress, or Anxiety
Dr. Waldrop offers chiropractic care for more than just physical injuries. He can also help you overcome emotional and mental side effects from being in a car accident. Chiropractic care, massage therapy, dry needling, infrared sauna therapy, and vibration therapy can all alleviate stress and tension, improve sleep and mood, and help you overcome anxiety.
