Are all injuries after a car accident as obvious as a broken leg or cut on the arm? While most people would answer “yes”, the answer is “no”. There are many injuries that can occur within the body that can be just as concerning as the those on the exterior. The aches and pains that are often felt days, weeks, and months after an accident are the body’s way of signaling something is wrong. Unfortunately, far too many people think that these minor symptoms are insignificant and will simply go away on their own.

The truth is, even minor injuries from a car accident can turn into chronic conditions and sources of pain and discomfort well into the future. This is why it’s important to receive the most comprehensive care possible by seeing a chiropractor in Columbus, GA. A chiropractor’s in-depth approach and knowledge of the body as a whole will ensure you address any sources of pain in an effective manner.

Where’s your Pain?

Some of the most common pains chiropractors help their patients with after car accidents include:

Neck Pain
Jaw Pain
Headaches
Arm/Wrist Pain
Back Pain
Shoulder Pain
Leg Pain
How Dr. Overton Can Help

With any of the pains listed below, a chiropractor will do a full evaluation to determine the root cause of the problem. Only once they have that information will they develop a treatment plan to help address the issue in an effective and drug-free manner.

Arm and Wrist Pain

Arms and wrists can suffer sprains, fractures, and nerve injuries from car accidents. This can result in limited ability to move, severe pain, and man other conditions if left unaddressed.

Back and Neck Pain

The impact of a car accident can hurt the joints, muscles, and the spine, resulting in stiffness, swelling, memory loss, and limited movement. If not treated, these will get worse well into the future.

Headaches

Even mild headaches after a car accident can be signs of brain swelling or internal bleeding from concussions, trauma, or spinal disc compression.

Jaw Pain

Jaw pain is often caused from temporomandibular joint pain, otherwise known as TMJ. This is common with those who have suffered whiplash from a car accident. It can lead to limited jaw movement, tenderness, ear aches and difficulty eating.

Joint Inflammation and Tissue Fibrosis

Trauma and the impact of the accident can cause tissue and joint injuries. Tissue fibrosis in particular occurs when the body scars as it heals itself. Treatment for this is important, as not addressing the issue can lead to a chronic condition.

Leg Pain

Leg pain after a car accident can be due to trauma, ligament tears, dislocated knees, broken bones, or even spinal injuries. When not addressed, this can result in chronic pain and even arthritis.

Shoulder Pain

Rotator cuff tears, bruising, fractures, and inflammation are common causes of shoulder pain. When not addressed, this can lead to numbness, restricted movement, and severe swelling.

Whiplash

When the neck is forced back and forward in an accident it can cause many injuries to the spine and muscles. Leaving this unaddressed can lead to irritation, pain, dizziness, and even vision problems in the future.

Customer Reviews

I’ve been seeing Dr. Overton for approximately 5-6 years and he has really helped me with my back. Dr. “O” listens and works to make it all better. I highly recommend him.

I haven’t officially been adjusted yet (was too swollen and will go back tomorrow) but this office was amazing. The staff was great and attentive (Lauren was awesome!) They literally worked me into the schedule as a new patient within 30 min of calling.

I learned a lot and how to better deal with my neck pain besides toughing it out or stretching incorrectly. They were informative and Dr. Overton did X-rays to make sure he saw the whole picture. Feeling a bit better already and can’t wait for my adjustment tomorrow!

I cannot say enough about Dr Overton’s office. From the office staff to the Dr himself. The very first time I walked in the office my son and I were treated like were Royalty. The staff greeted us in the most friendly manner I have ever been greeted in.

I went in barely able to move and they helped me and my son who is normally terrified of doctors regardless of the profession. When we did get to seen by Dr Overton and the other Doctor on his staff, they both took time with us after xrays explaining what would be happening.

He has since then been treating us and we couldn’t be happier. I would recommend him to anyone .. I am trying to find and share my original review of him. Everyone needs to know what an AMAZING Dr he is…

Dr. Overton gets the highest recommendation from me. I have never believed in a Chiropractor until I meet Dr. Overton. He corrected my wife problems in being able to walk normal again.

Now he has started on my pains to my back and legs with a detailed plan of action but not until he asked detailed question about my pain and medical history with proper X Ray’s. He is always tentative to my concerns and my pains. There many chiropractor’s in the Auburn area but only one Dr. Overton. Thanks for helping the health of our family.

Dr. Overton is the epitome of excellence! The staff are friendly and genuinely care about you. My son has scoliosis and Dr. Overton has been able to help him feel like new again. In addition, we were able to avoid surgery with Dr. Overton’s help and my son is able to play sports again.

I can’t tell you all of the amazing things in this short note about Dr. Overton but if you have chronic pain and your life is less than it use to be then he is a MUST SEE!! This entire office goes above and beyond the standard to give superb service unlike no other.

Dr. Williams Is The Best Of The Best! She Takes Her Time In Making Sure You’re Feeling Just Right. I Have Had The Pleasure Of Working With Her And It Has Been A Pleasure Being Under Her Care.
