According to the Maryland Highway Safety Office, more than 41,000 auto accident injuries occur yearly.1 Common auto accident injuries can often result in the following types of injuries:
- Post-Traumatic Headaches
- Concussion
- Muscle Strains
- Ligament Sprains

Chiropractors Treat Soft Tissue Injuries
Many auto accident injury victims elect to use chiropractic care for injury therapy and treatment of their injuries. Frequently, chiropractors will undergo extensive training to increase their knowledge and skills on how to manage complex injuries that were caused by auto accidents, work-related and sports.
Early Chiropractic Intervention Can Mean Better Outcomes
Early intervention is key to recovering from auto accident-related injuries such as whiplash, muscle strains, ligament sprains, and more. Chiropractors take a conservative approach to treating soft tissue injuries. In addition to treating joint problems such as immobilization or joint inflexibility; chiropractors often provide physical therapeutic procedures such as hot/cold therapy, manual therapy, exercise and stretch programs, and more to not only relieve pain but to promote healing and tissue recovery.
Chiropractors with Other Healthcare Providers
Recovery from soft tissue injuries such as those listed above, often requires the healthcare team may consist of medical physicians and specialists (e.g. an orthopedist, neurologist, radiologist, etc.), chiropractors, physical therapists, and mental health therapists (in some cases).
Chiropractors play an essential role in treating common musculoskeletal complaints and will work in collaboration with other healthcare providers to ensure patient healthcare needs are addressed.
