Benefits of Our Treatments for Car Accident Injuries

We offer chiropractic care and other care options for people who have been injured in accidents. By calling us, we can connect you with our in-house clinic of various medical professionals, all who are committed to helping you recover as efficiently and comfortably as possible.

If you get personalized care for your car accident injuries, you can appreciate its many benefits, such as:

• No medication: Most of our treatments, including chiropractic care, are great choices for anyone who needs pain relief but does not want to use a medication, especially not a strong painkiller or opiate.
• Noninvasive: Are you worried about invasive medical techniques like surgery? We focus on noninvasive treatments like spinal adjustments.
• Mobility improvement: Many patients notice an improvement in mobility after just a few chiropractic care sessions.
• Recovery improvement: Did you know that chiropractic care can improve blood flow and reduce pressure and irritation? In doing so, it can also help improve your body's ability to heal.

After-Accident Care Options We Offer

1st Health Inc. is a trusted health partner in Aloha, Oregon. We take the time to understand the type of injuries you suffered in your accident, so we can plan which care options would be the most helpful for you.

Treatments that might be helpful for you include:

• Diagnostic testing and imaging: We can use state-of-the-art technology like X-rays and MRIs to get a detailed look at your injuries, including underlying damage.
• Medical examinations: If you want a second opinion about your injuries, ask about our medical examination services. Oftentimes, we recommend starting any treatment plan with an examination from our professionals, even if you are satisfied with your doctor’s original opinion.
• Chiropractic care: Most people who come to us include at least one type of chiropractic care in their overall treatment plan.
• Physical therapy: Different types of physical therapy can be used together to improve your mobility, reduce daily pain, promote healing, and more.
• Pain management: Spinal adjustments are one of our most popular and effective ways to reduce day-to-day aches and pains caused by the lingering symptoms of accident injuries, but many other treatments could also be helpful to you.
• Therapeutic modalities: Ultrasound therapy, electrical stimulation, hot/cold therapy, and more can be used as part of your care plan to encourage speedy healing.

Common Accident Injuries Treated by Our Specialists

Common accident injuries that chiropractors can help treat:

• Whiplash: Whiplash is a neck injury that commonly occurs when the head is suddenly jerked forward and backward, usually in a rear-end collision. It can cause neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and dizziness.   
• Neck and back pain: The force of a car accident or a fall from a short height can strain the muscles and ligaments in the neck and back, leading to pain and limited mobility.   
• Herniated discs: A sudden impact can cause the discs between the vertebrae to bulge or rupture, putting pressure on nerves and causing pain.   
• Shoulder injuries: The force of an impact can strain or injure the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the shoulder, leading to pain and limited range of motion.   
• Headaches: Our comprehensive and holistic approach to treating you might be just what you need to start lessening the headaches you have endured since being in an accident.
• Muscle strains and sprains: The sudden jolting motion of a car accident can strain or sprain muscles and ligaments throughout the body.

Symptoms of Underlying Injuries

After an accident or traffic collision, you might not feel injured right away. Even as hours or days pass, you might only feel subtle aches or pains when moving your body in a specific way. Please be aware that such aches could be the first symptoms of an underlying injury that requires medical attention and that might be treatable with our care options.

Symptoms and signs of underlying injuries after an accident include:

• Neck pain and stiffness
• Back pain
• Headaches
• Shoulder aches
• Numbness and tingling sensations
• Reduced range of motion
• Bruising and swelling
• Dizziness or loss of balance
• Fatigue or insomnia
