What is an auto accident injury?

Your body is made up of a complex system of bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and organs. When you experience the sudden impact seen in an auto accident — even a minor fender bender — this delicate system can sustain significant damage.


Approximately 2.35 million people are injured or disabled in car accidents each year in the United States. When you’ve been in an accident, your injury may not be apparent immediately. It’s essential to make an appointment with Dr. Cohen and her team of experts at Washington Integrative Health for a comprehensive physical evaluation as soon as possible.

What types of injuries are caused by car accidents?

Dr. Cohen and her experienced team offer safe and effective treatment for numerous car accident injuries, such as:


  • Whiplash
  • Soft-tissue injuries
  • Pain in the back, neck, or shoulder
  • Herniated discs


You can also find therapies for spinal cord injuries.

What are the symptoms of an auto accident injury?

The symptoms of a car accident aren’t always visible and sometimes take hours or days to occur. Common auto accident symptoms include:


  • Numbness in the arms or hands
  • Headaches or dizziness
  • Neck strain
  • Pain or stiffness in the back or body
  • Panic attack or anxiety symptoms


During your physical evaluation, Dr. Cohen and her team can identify auto accident injuries and design a personalized approach to restore your health.

How does chiropractic medicine help with auto accident injuries?

In order to heal quickly, it’s crucial to identify auto injuries as soon as possible. When ignored, these issues can become a source of chronic or long-term pain.


Dr. Cohen and her providers use on-site diagnostic tools, like X-rays, to assist in their diagnosis of your injury. Based on their findings, they might suggest a variety of treatments, such as:


  • Massage therapy
  • Chiropractic manipulation
  • Spinal decompression
  • Physical rehabilitation
  • Trigger point injections


Your provider designs your treatment to manage your inflammation, relieve pain throughout your entire body without medication, and to restore your range of motion.


Receiving chiropractic care after a car accident also reduces your risk of scar tissue and chronic pain. Throughout your auto accident treatment, your provider documents your condition and therapy in case you pursue an insurance claim in the future.


For your convenience, Washington Integrative Health accepts auto accident attorney claims and works with your insurance company.
