Chiropractic Care for Car Accident Injuries
Seeking chiropractic care is important for any car accident victim with injuries. The sudden jarring motion of a vehicle collision can cause major impact to your body. Internally, you could experience misalignment of your spine or damage to your nervous system, organs, or muscles. Chiropractic adjustments from our chiropractor Dr. Allan DellaBella can help realign your body to help you begin the healing process. A couple of the most common injuries from car accidents include:
Whiplash
Whiplash causes severe neck pain along with a reduction in mobility with your head and neck. You may also experience shoulder pain and upper back pain due to your whiplash. The sooner you see your Boca Raton chiropractor at the Shadowood Chiropractic Center to treat your whiplash the faster your neck muscles can heal effectively.
Herniated and Slipped Discs
These spinal conditions occur due to the sudden impact of the auto crash. Your vertebrae can become dislodged or out of alignment as a result of the impact. In the instance of a herniated disc, this can cause pressure on surrounding nerves, leading to back pain. A slipped disc can make mobility and walking a major problem. Dr. DellaBella uses spinal decompression as part of a chiropractic adjustment to realign your spine and end your back pain caused by your auto accident injury.
Immediate Care for Auto Injury
If you are diagnosed with whiplash or have pain after an accident, this could be a sign that something is wrong internally. By going to your chiropractor as soon as possible following an accident you can get the natural care you need for your injury. In many cases, especially when auto insurance companies are involved, timing is crucial when in receiving coverage for your auto accident injury.
For example, you may have only two weeks in which to report injuries to your auto insurer in order for your injuries to be covered. Contacting our Boca Raton chiropractor at the Shadowood Chiropractic Center as soon as possible ensures your injuries will be diagnosed in a timely manner.

Rather than depending on painkillers to mask your pain, Dr. DellaBella will address the source of the pain through chiropractic care. Through spinal adjustments and spinal decompression he is able to relieve the swelling and inflammation causing you pain. Once the source of the pain is discovered we can provide treatments that will allow you to experience natural pain relief.
Common Car Accident Injuries
Soft tissue injuries limit mobility and may cause debilitating pain. Headaches, soreness, stiffness and tenderness throughout the body often result from the adrenaline release. Our chiropractor will complete a comprehensive exam; then recommend a treatment plan to help your body naturally restore proper functionality, eliminating the source of your pain so you can return to a normal lifestyle faster.
Based on our auto accident chiropractor’s examination, treatment plans for accident related injuries typically include a combination of chiropractic, massage, and physical therapy services.
Headaches: Headaches after a car accident stem from misalignment of the cervical vertebrae. Our chiropractor may perform manual adjustments and/or utilize computerized spinal decompression techniques to restore normal alignment and elongate the spine.
Soft Tissues Injuries: Deep Tissue Massage therapy targets precise areas in the body experiencing trauma induced stress. Deep, firm pressure breaks down muscle tissue and adhesions facilitating natural healing. This treatment is especially helpful for our Boca Raton patients would have delayed seeking medical attention because rigid scar tissue often forms after an auto accident. These scars prevent normal circulation, impair flexibility and increase inflammation. Breaking down the adhesions reduces pain.
Stiffness and Weakness: Managing pain improves mobility, but restoring full function after an accident sometimes requires physical therapy. Our chiropractic team will recommend patients follow an at-home exercise plan to get them back in shape faster. When combined with massage and manipulation therapies, exercise strengthens core muscles necessary to support spine health, which is the key focus of living a healthy, post-accident lifestyle.
Knees, Ankles and Other Joint Injuries: Our clinic uses the Cox Adjustment Technique, which is a gentle, precisely controlled adjustment protocol that gradually restores the spine to normal alignment utilizing a specially designed table that balances chiropractor applied hand pressure and table motion.
Car Accident Injury FAQ
Answers from Your Car Accident Doctor
When you are suffering from pain, immobility and other devastating symptoms in the wake of an auto accident, you may know you need immediate treatment — but from whom? Let’s look at the answers to some frequently asked questions about why and how a chiropractic car accident doctor can prove the ideal choice for helping you get back on the road.
At what point should I visit your chiropractor in Boca Raton?
Your first move should be a trip to the emergency room so the staff there can deal with severe bleeding, fractures, shock, concussion et cetera. Your second move should be a visit to a chiropractic clinic for a detailed spinal evaluation.
I don’t feel injured. Why do I still need an evaluation?
Many auto accident injury symptoms “hide” at first due to the combination of shock and adrenaline. This may cause you to neglect getting evaluated for very real injuries that could be getting worse and worse. You should always get a post-accident spinal examination, whether you feel okay or not.
What auto accident injury symptoms does your chiropractor in Boca Raton treat?
Dr. DellaBella, our Boca Raton car accident chiropractor, can treat a variety of problems associated with auto accident injuries, including:
- Whiplash
- Sciatica
- Extremity joint pain

My pain is in my leg, not my back or neck. How can a chiropractor help?
Leg pain following an auto accident is often caused by sciatica, impingement of the leg’s sciatic nerve roots from a herniated disc or swollen tissues. We can administer the Cox Technique to realign the lumbar spine and massage therapy to relieve tissue swelling.
Can you treat knee pain sustained in an auto accident?
If you have injured your knee if a car accident, we can perform sophisticated diagnostic imaging to view the extent of the injury, then administer extremity adjustments and/or soft tissue therapy to relieve pain and promote healing.
