Auto Accident Chiropractic in Tustin
When you are involved in an auto accident—even a minor one with minimal vehicle damage—your body absorbs tremendous force from the impact. People often don’t feel pain for a few hours or even a few days because the adrenaline masks the discomfort.
But even if you don’t feel pain right away, it’s important to be checked out by a chiropractor to identify the extent of your injuries and ensure that all the proper diagnostics are done so you can begin to heal as quickly as possible.
Whiplash and Other Injuries
The most common auto accident injury is whiplash, which occurs when your spine—from your neck to your low back—goes through a “whipping” motion in one direction and then the opposite direction, overstretching the ligaments. Injuries to muscles, nerves, and discs are also common, as are sprain/strain injuries to other joints of the body.
Fractures and concussions are other injuries that require a proper diagnosis.
Our Approach
Dr. Azizi will sit down and talk with you about the accident and your injuries. Then, he will conduct a thorough examination, including orthopedic and neurological assessments and X-rays. If he determines that additional imaging, such as specialized X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans, is needed, he will refer you out for those.
Based on your exam and images, Dr. Azizi will create a customized care plan to address your injuries and get you back to your pre-accident status or as close as possible. He will also work with your other providers, including physical therapists, orthopedists, neurologists, and pain management doctors.
