I Was Hurt in a Car Accident: Can You Help?
Experiencing a car accident can be a traumatic event that leaves you with lingering physical and emotional pain. Our experienced team at Neuropathy & Pain Centers of Texas is here to help you recover and reclaim your life.
We offer a range of effective treatments, including trigger point injections, MLS® laser therapy, nutrition counseling, and chiropractic care.
Let's explore common car accident injuries and how medical pain relief can give you the relief you need and promote your overall well-being.
Common injuries
Car accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, some of which may not immediately manifest symptoms. It's important to be aware of the common car accident injuries that can occur, especially in the neck and back regions.
The following symptoms and conditions may be immediately apparent, but they can also develop over the hours and days after your accident:
- Whiplash
- Back injuries
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Muscle strains
- Joint pain in the shoulders, hips, and knees
Other injuries, such as lacerations, fractures, head injuries, and crush injuries, are immediately apparent and require emergency medical care. These are often addressed by first responders or in the emergency room.
Even if you don’t have any immediate signs of soft tissue issues, it’s a good idea to consider chiropractic care after your accident to get ahead of the “delayed onset.”
How we can help
At Neuropathy and Pain Centers of Texas, our dedicated team of health care professionals specializes in addressing these common car accident injuries. We offer a range of treatments and therapies designed to alleviate pain, promote healing, and restore function, enabling you to recover and regain control of your life.
They include:
Trigger point injections
Trigger points are inflamed, knotted areas in your muscles caused by tight fascia. They often result in localized pain and can restrict your range of motion.
At Neuropathy and Pain Centers of Texas, we offer trigger point injections that directly target these knots to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief. By injecting a solution into your trigger point, your muscle relaxes and returns to its normal function, allowing you to experience long-lasting relief from your car accident-related pain.
MLS laser therapy
MLS laser therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that harnesses the power of low-level laser light to promote healing and reduce pain. This noninvasive therapy stimulates cellular activity, enhances circulation, and reduces inflammation, allowing your body to heal faster and more effectively.
MLS laser therapy is particularly beneficial for neck and back pain resulting from car accidents, providing you with a nonsurgical and drug-free solution for pain management.
Nutrition counseling
Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in your overall health and recovery from injuries. Our dedicated team of experts provides personalized nutrition counseling to ensure proper fueling for your body with the right nutrients to support healing and reduce inflammation. For example, nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruit, and lean protein can help support your body as it heals.
Optimizing your diet can aid in the recovery process, strengthen your immune system, and enhance your overall well-being.
Chiropractic care
Car accidents can cause misalignments in your spine and lead to persistent neck and back pain. Our skilled team specializes in diagnosing and treating these misalignments through gentle adjustments and manipulations.
By realigning your spine, chiropractic care can alleviate pressure on your nerves, reduce inflammation, and improve your range of motion. Whether you're suffering from whiplash or other accident-related injuries, our team provides a tailored treatment plan to address your specific needs and support your recovery.
