Auto Accidents Q & A

What are some common injuries related to auto accidents?

Whiplash Injury
Muscle Spasms – the trauma from the accident cause your muscles to be overstretched when they are not prepared for the force caused by the crash. This leads to muscle fiber tears that can cause muscle spasms right away, or they can develop weeks after. It is important to seek treatment immediately after an accident to treat and prevent these muscle spasms.
- Areas commonly prone to muscle spasms: neck, back, shoulders, legs and feet
Cactus Medical Center has a team of providers that work together to treat muscle spasms. Typical interventions include: trigger point injections into and surrounding the muscles, physical therapy to stretch and relax the muscle tension, and spinal and soft tissue adjustments to help improve joint alignment and decrease the spasms and massage therapy. Often times braces and electrical stimulation are used as well to help manage the muscle spasms and pain without medication.

What is whiplash?

It is difficult to predict how severe a whiplash injury will recover. However, if left untreated, severe neck pain and headaches can last for years.
You are at higher risk for severe whiplash injury if you have had whiplash before, over the age of 55 and had neck or back pain prior to the accident.

The healthcare team at Cactus Medical Center offers integrated treatment options for your body as a whole, free of the side effects related to pain medications or invasive surgery. Through gentle spinal manipulation, pressure-release methods and rehabilitation therapy, the team at Cactus Medical Center can restore your mobility and reduce your pain.

Physical medicine specialists assess your entire body. Using in-house X-Ray this process ensures that other injuries you may not be aware of aren’t going undiagnosed or untreated.

Being proactive about your health and receiving a physical medicine evaluation following your auto accident can help your body heal and recover as quickly as possible. Call Cactus Medical Center today or request an appointment online.
