Auto Injury Treatment

Auto & Car Accident Injuries

After a car accident, particularly one involving whiplash, it’s common for individuals to experience chronic neck pain if left untreated. At League City Spine & Sports Medicine, we specialize in identifying risk factors through detailed history and exams to determine if you’re more susceptible to long-term pain following a whiplash injury.

Whiplash, a term commonly used to describe neck injuries from car accidents, especially rear-end collisions, can have lasting effects if not addressed properly. Those who are hit from behind in a car accident are at the highest risk for this type of injury.

In House Treatments for Whiplash

Treatment for whiplash injuries is tailored to each individual and the specific dysfunctions identified during the exam. This approach often involves a combination of the following treatments:

• Spinal Manipulation – Targeted adjustments to relieve pain and improve mobility.
• Moist Heat/Ice – To reduce inflammation and alleviate discomfort.
• Muscle Stimulation – Helps reduce muscle spasms and promote healing.
• Rehabilitation Exercises – Designed to restore strength and range of motion.
• Ergonomic and Lifestyle Changes – To prevent further injury and aid recovery.
• Digital X-Ray – To assess the extent of injury and rule out fractures.

Referral Treatments

If necessary, we may refer you for additional treatments to support your recovery, including:

• Massage Therapy – To relax muscles and ease tension.
• MRI – For detailed imaging of soft tissue injuries.
• Orthopedic Surgeries – If surgery is required for more severe injuries.
• Pain Management/Injections – For additional relief and accelerated healing.

Our goal is to help you recover fully from your auto accident injury, restoring your mobility and quality of life.
