Are you suffering from Neck Pain and seeking a solution?

After a car accident, neck pain is almost never an isolated problem, it’s often a symptom of something happening elsewhere along your spine. That’s why our chiropractors start with a full-spine evaluation instead of just examining where it hurts, at any of our clinics across Texas.

What Happens at Your First Visit:

  • Full-Spine Evaluation: We check your entire spine, not just your neck, to catch issues you might not know about.
  • A Plan Built Around You: Your lifestyle and daily habits shape your treatment plan.
  • Hands-On Assessment: A detailed physical exam to pinpoint exactly where your neck pain is coming from.
  • Imaging When Needed: X-rays or MRIs to confirm a diagnosis and rule out more serious injury.

Your treatment plan may combine several hands-on techniques, chosen based on what your exam reveals:

Flexion-Distraction: A gentle, table-assisted technique using a slow pumping motion on the disc instead of direct force, often used for disc-related neck pain.

Instrument-Assisted Adjustment: A hand-held tool delivers a controlled, low-force adjustment without any manual thrust into the spine.

Specialized Manipulation: A precise, low-force thrust technique used to restore full mobility to a restricted joint.

Neck Pain Injury Treatment Frequently Asked Questions

Neck pain can be caused by various factors such as sleeping in the wrong position, car accidents, or prolonged use of electronic devices. Stretching exercises may help loosen the muscles, but if the pain persists, seeking chiropractic care is recommended. Chiropractors can treat common neck pain conditions such as cervical intervertebral disc injuries, cervical sprain injuries, degenerative joint syndrome of the neck, facet joint sprain, and whiplash. Patients experiencing neck pain may have difficulty moving their neck with full range of motion, making chiropractic care a viable option.

Chiropractic adjustments may cause some worry among potential patients due to the loud cracking noises made during the adjustment. However, as long as the chiropractor is licensed and trained, like all of the doctors at Accident Centers of Texas, there is no need to worry. Chiropractic treatment is generally safe and effective.

Chiropractic care is a recognized long-lasting treatment for neck pain, particularly after an auto accident. The majority of neck pain patients can feel and see results after their first appointment, although the pain may persist until the end of the treatment plan.

If you have been involved in an accident, seeking chiropractic care immediately after the incident can help prevent any long-lasting injuries. Even if symptoms do not immediately surface following an accident, any subsequent neck pain should be examined by a chiropractor. It is important to seek care as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

Neck pain often overlaps with other injuries. Learn more about our care for whiplash, headaches, and back pain, or contact us to schedule an evaluation.
