How Car Accidents Affect the Body

Even low-speed collisions can cause significant stress to the spine, muscles, and joints. Rapid acceleration and deceleration can lead to injuries such as whiplash, joint strain, muscle tension, and spinal misalignment. These changes can interfere with how the body moves and heals after an accident.

Common Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents may result in a variety of physical issues, including:

  • Whiplash and neck strain

  • Lower and mid-back pain

  • Shoulder and arm injuries

  • Headaches and dizziness

  • Hip and pelvic discomfort

  • Joint stiffness and reduced mobility

​

Some symptoms may not appear right away, which is why early assessment is important.

Symptoms After a Car Accident

After a collision, many people experience:

  • Neck or back pain

  • Headaches or migraines

  • Muscle stiffness or soreness

  • Reduced range of motion

  • Tingling or weakness in the arms or legs

  • Fatigue or discomfort with movement

These symptoms may worsen over time if movement patterns and posture are not addressed.

How Chiropractic Care Supports Recovery

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring healthy movement patterns and supporting spinal alignment after injury. For car accident patients, chiropractic care may help:

  • Improve neck and back mobility

  • Reduce muscle tension and stiffness

  • Support joint movement

  • Promote better posture and balance

  • Encourage more comfortable daily movement

Care is designed to support the body’s natural healing process rather than simply masking symptoms.

What to Expect at McIntosh Chiropractic

Dr. Ian McIntosh begins each visit with a detailed assessment of posture, movement, and spinal function. This allows him to understand how the accident has affected your body and to create a care plan tailored to your specific needs.
