CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Auto Accident Injury
Chiropractic treatment for car accident injuries in Mount Pleasant, SC.
26+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Care After a Collision
Before opening Mount Pleasant Neck & Back Center, Dr. Randy ran a personal injury and sports injury practice, treating motor vehicle accidents (MVAs), slip-and-falls, and other personal injury cases for over 26 years. Once the initial distractions of an accident fade, accident-specific injuries like whiplash — the hyper flexion and extension of the cervical spine — begin to make themselves known.
Delayed Onset Is Real
Strain, aching, and even sharp pain can appear right away, a few hours later, or even days after a crash — known as delayed onset. Some neck and back injuries show up on x-rays during an emergency exam, but others, like soft tissue damage, require a hands-on physical assessment from Dr. Randy to diagnose. That's why it's important to seek chiropractic care after an MVA to protect your overall health.
WHY EARLY CARE MATTERS
Addressing the Underlying Issues
The jarring impact of an auto accident can worsen former neck or back injuries and turn them into painful conditions that damage your daily quality of life. Problems that may start painlessly - like herniated discs - can become far more serious after a collision, and MVAs can speed up the degenerative process, especially when left untreated.
Subluxations
During a collision, vertebrae get pushed and pulled into positions they aren't accustomed to. These misaligned bones can put pressure on nerves and cause problems throughout the body.
Sprains & Strains
The muscles surrounding the spine can be sprained and strained in an accident, keeping the spine from moving correctly and accelerating the degenerative process.
Disc Injuries
Herniated and bulging discs that may have been painless before a crash can flare into serious, ongoing pain if they aren't addressed early.
The Sooner You're Treated,
the Better Your Recovery
While the body has a remarkable ability to heal itself, chiropractic care can support and speed up that process. Don't wait for pain to settle in — early treatment gives you the best possible outlook.
