Auto Injury Treatment in Murrysville, PA
Helping You Recover After a Car Accident
Even minor auto accidents can place significant stress on the body. In many cases, symptoms do not appear immediately and may take hours or even days to develop. What initially feels like mild soreness can gradually become persistent neck pain, back pain, headaches, stiffness, or other musculoskeletal complaints.
At Depretis Chiropractic and Total Wellness, we help patients recover from auto accident injuries by identifying the source of their symptoms and developing individualized treatment plans designed to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve function.
Whether you've recently been involved in a car accident or are still dealing with lingering symptoms from a previous injury, a thorough evaluation can help determine the most appropriate treatment options.
Common Auto Accident Injuries
Every accident is different, but some of the most common injuries we evaluate include:
Even low speed collisions can create forces that affect muscles, joints, ligaments, and other soft tissues throughout the body.
Why Symptoms Often Appear Later
Many people walk away from an accident feeling relatively normal only to notice symptoms later that day or several days afterward.
Inflammation, muscle guarding, joint dysfunction, and soft tissue injuries can take time to develop, which is why it is important not to ignore symptoms simply because they weren't immediate.
Early evaluation can often help identify issues before they become chronic problems.
How We Evaluate Auto Accident Injuries
Every patient begins with a comprehensive examination designed to understand both the injury and how it is affecting overall movement and function.
The goal is to identify the structures involved and determine the best path forward for recovery.
How We Treat Auto Accident Injuries
Treatment recommendations are based on the individual's symptoms, diagnosis, and goals.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Auto accidents frequently create restrictions within the spine and extremity joints. Chiropractic adjustments may help improve mobility, restore motion, and reduce mechanical stress affecting injured areas.
SoftWave Therapy
Many accident related injuries involve damage or irritation to muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other soft tissues. When appropriate, SoftWave Therapy may be incorporated into treatment plans to support the body's natural healing response and complement other treatment approaches.
Physiotherapy Treatments
Depending on the injury, treatment may also include:
- • Electric muscle stimulation
- • Cervical decompression
- • Lumbar decompression
- • Flexion distraction therapy
These therapies are often utilized to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support recovery.
Rehabilitation and Movement
As symptoms improve, treatment may include exercises and movement strategies designed to restore function and help patients safely return to their normal activities.
Whiplash and Auto Accident Injuries
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries associated with motor vehicle accidents. While neck pain is often the primary symptom, whiplash can also contribute to:
- • Headaches
- • Shoulder pain
- • Mid back pain
- • Reduced mobility
- • Muscle tightness
- • Dizziness
Because every injury is unique, treatment recommendations are based on a comprehensive evaluation rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
