Did you know car accident injuries can often be hidden in the initial aftermath of the accident and many in fact go untreated resulting in unnecessary long-term pain and discomfort?

As an experienced auto accident chiropractor, Dr. Stakes has helped hundreds of patients recover from injury. After a car accident, it is important to schedule a visit. Even a slight “tap” can jar your neck and spinal column as well as move your sternum due to the pressure of the seat belt. Whether you are in a serious accident that requires a visit to the ER or hospitalization, or a “minor” crash, your body  has just accelerated and decelerated at a rate of force that has caused slight to significant movement in the spinal column, neck, ribs, hips, elbows and/or shoulders. You may feel relief and determine “you feel fine” and decline going to the emergency room, or you may have extensive injuries that are immediately apparent. Either way, the medical care you receive typically does not “reset” structural shifts in your body that occur in accidents. You should seek immediate emergency medical care if you feel anything after the accident because of the possibility of concussion, brain injury and other serious conditions that may require emergency intervention even hours after the accident. Once you are out of immediate danger, seek a chiropractic evaluation of your post accident condition because hidden injuries that are not an immediate threat can still result in pain, stiffness and disease years down the road.

Hidden Injuries You Can Experience

Hidden injuries can feel like a slight unsettled feeling, a slight headache, a migraine, sore neck, elbow, shoulder or chest pain related to a sternum injury. Accidents happen so quickly it is unusual to “know” exactly what went where during the crash. This is why xrays are important after any accident. Even if you feel nothing out of the ordinary, you may not even realize there is something affecting you that is related to the accident, but xrays and a thorough chiropractic examination can uncover even small changes that can result in stiffness, pain and complications even years later.

Return Your Body to Pain-Free Living

Get in to see Dr. Stakes as soon as possible after an accident so he can work with you to return your body to full functional capacity, get rid of your symptoms, remove the pain from your body and get you back to pain-free living. Chiropractic care removes interference that occurs due to subluxations in the nervous system which interfere with your body’s natural healing power.

Immediate Relief is Possible

Because Dr. Stakes uses only the most modern methods for gentle, precise adjustments, even the most painful spots can respond quickly. Most if not all patients report immediate relief. Combined with other in-office car accident therapy your healing can be accelerated to bring comfort back quickly too.
