At New Heights Chiropractic & Wellness in Bensalem, PA, we understand the unique nature of auto accident injuries and are dedicated to providing the specialized chiropractic care you need for a complete recovery.

Our goal is to help restore your body’s natural alignment and function to relieve pain and promote healing. We treat many types of injuries, but these are some of the most common after a car accident.

• Whiplash: This is one of the most common injuries experienced after a car accident. It occurs when your head is suddenly jolted back and forth which can cause severe neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and even blurred vision. We gently work to restore proper motion to your neck and upper back.

• Strains/Sprains: These injuries involve damage to muscles or ligaments anywhere in the body. They often occur in the back, neck, or shoulders due to the sudden forces of an impact. Our chiropractic treatments help reduce inflammation and support healing.

• Muscle Spasms: Often a protective response to underlying injury or misalignment, muscle spasms can cause intense, involuntary muscle contractions and significant pain. We address the root cause to alleviate the spasms and improve comfort.

• Contusions: While often superficial, deep bruising to muscles and soft tissues can cause pain, swelling, and restrict movement. Chiropractic care can help improve circulation to the injured area, aiding in the healing process.

• Disc Herniations, Bulges, and Protrusions: The discs between your vertebrae can be severely affected by the impact of a car accident. Whether it’s a bulge, protrusion, or a full herniation, these conditions can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness radiating into your arms or legs. We utilize gentle chiropractic techniques to reduce pressure on these discs and the surrounding nerves.

• Joint Injuries: Beyond the spine, other joints like shoulders, knees, wrists, and ankles can sustain trauma during an accident. These joint injuries can result in pain, reduced range of motion, and instability. Our chiropractic adjustments aim to restore proper joint mechanics and alleviate associated discomfort.
