Common Car Accident Injuries Treated By Orthopedic Doctors

LinkedInFacebookInstagramXPinterestYoutube

When accidents occur, our bodies produce a large amount of adrenaline and because of that, the impact of the crash may not become apparent right away. Adrenaline is a pain killer for the body and that pain one would feel is masked by the trauma of the accident and therefore the pain isn’t felt until much later when the adrenaline has worn off.

Common Injuries from auto accidents

Injuries don’t just occur at fast rates of speed, as injuries to the neck and back and even concussions can occur at slow rates. Even moving slowly, the seat belt can cause shoulder injury as well as whiplash. Injuries to the back can result in herniated discs as well as the discs slipping out of place causing chronic pain. Spinal cord damage is also possible and can be associated with head trauma and disorientation.

Serious injury possible without pain

Statistics show that the worst injuries from accidents are from delaying treatment making the injured person suffer chronic pain that may not have been severe had they seeked medical treatment sooner. This chronic pain can make your life increasingly difficult and have long lasting effects.

After auto accidents, it is highly recommended that one seeks medical treatment to rule out any injuries that may not be present right away. Typically after an accident, a trip to the Emergency Room is your best course of action as X-Rays and exams can be conducted ruling out severe injuries or receiving care to injuries that may have occurred. However, if nothing is serious looking on the surface, most are sent home with medication and told to come back if anything else presents as alarming but most are unsure about what to look for.

If you find yourself in this period of waiting or are unsure if you have sustained an injury that was not diagnosed at your initial trip to the Emergency Room, contact our Atlanta orthopedic doctors at (404) 592-1186 today so we can answer your questions and provide you with the care you deserve!

Yesterday was my last day at AICA College Park since my accident in December, there is so much to say about the people who work here and the level of customer service, care, attention, friendliness, and overall amazing atmosphere that they provide. Location is perfect in College Park, right off the highway and in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The entire staff, from the front desk girls, to the physical therapy girls, to the chiros, and the medical team are AMAZING! I feel like I just lost my friends not being able to visit them twice a week every week. I will definitely miss coming here. All the smiles and warm welcomes received. The physical therapy - asking about my day, if everything is okay and helping my back and neck get better. I had the pleasure of having Dr. Hector as my chiropractor, he is awesome, was very helpful in the healing process and also a native Spanish speaker which is a plus for those of us who do speak Spanish. Before coming to AICA, I tried another injury clinic in ATL and walked out after 5 mins - so impersonal and cold. I am so glad that I found AICA in College Park. Trust me, if you are injured and need some healing and TLC you NEED to come to this clinic! Highly recommend to everyone. Thank you again to the guys and girls at AICA - xo Ms. Colon
