Auto Injury Chiropractor in Bensalem, PA

Chiropractic care is a popular form of treatment often associated with recovery from an auto accident. These injuries are caused by the force created during the accident and it can cause your head and neck to move rapidly. This often results in whiplash or soft tissue injury. Depending on the severity of the accident, you may also begin to experience pain in your back, neck or shoulders.

At New Heights Chiropractic & Wellness, we specialize in treating injuries resulting from car accidents. Whether you’re experiencing whiplash, back pain, headaches, or limited mobility, our team provides targeted chiropractic care to relieve pain, restore function, and promote long-term healing. 

We create personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific injuries, helping you recover quickly and safely while also working with your attorney or insurance provider as needed.

Which Car Accident Injuries Do We Treat?

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.

What Can You Expect At Your Appointment?

Dr. Stef will determine your treatment plan based off of the initial exam findings. These include orthopedic exams, the patient’s history, and mechanism of injury. It is not always an adjustment at the first visit depending on the injuries obtained from the accident. If any red flags are found during the examination, Dr. Stef will recommend an x-ray, MRI, or both immediately before starting treatments. After receiving the results, we proceed with treatments depending on the injuries. Treatments typically last for 3-6 months depending on the severity of the injury.
