Broward County car crash injuries can result in pain and stiffness.  A person injured in a car accident can receive treatment for the their injuries from a skilled Broward County chiropractor.

There are many different types of Broward County car accident injuries that include:

TMJ
Temporomandibular joint is known as TMJ. This is the area in front of the ear on either side of the head where the upper jaw and lower jaw connect. A TMJ injury can occur when the jaw is injured in the joint and ligaments.

In a Plantation car crash, the force of a vehicle hitting you is similar to a whiplash, but it affects the jaw. It is caused from the acceleration and deceleration of a car crash.  

Back Injury
An injury to the back from a car accident is very common.  The lower back and mid- back are the common places an injury will occur.  Most people who suffer from a neck injury will also experience low back pain.

A passenger who is broadsided by another vehicle in many instances will end up with a back injury.  The impact from the crash can cause ligaments and muscles to be injured.  Compression fractures and disc bulges in Broward County car accidents can also occur.

Muscle Injuries
Muscles, ligaments, and tendons are common in Broward County auto accidents.  These are referred to as soft tissue injuries such as strains and sprains.  

A soft tissue injury may not be felt for several days after the accident and do not appear on an x-ray.  Without proper treatment, a soft tissue injury can cause severe pain and last for several months or longer

Shoulder Injury
A shoulder injury is very common in a Plantation car crash.  Many shoulder injuries are caused from a seatbelt with the shoulder harness, or from the impact on the side of the vehicle the crash occurred.  

A shoulder injury can also appear several days after the accident and surface with a sharp or burning pain, to a dull pain. If left untreated it can result in a frozen shoulder or develop into an impingement syndrome.

Knee and Hip Injury
A driver or passenger in a car accident can injure their knees by either slamming into the dashboard or hitting the back of a seat.  Depending upon the force of the impact, it can then cause an injury to the hip.

With the help of an experienced Broward County chiropractor, treatment for each of these common Broward County auto accident injuries can bring healing and relief from the pain.

When you make an appointment with a Plantation chiropractor, x-rays will be taken to see what damage has taken place.  A program will be designed for treatment.  The doctor will also work with your insurance company to help with any medical records needed if you are filing a claim.
