Chiropractic Care for Car Accident Injuries
Motor vehicle accidents can place significant force on the neck, back, joints, muscles, and other soft tissues. Some injuries cause immediate pain, while other symptoms may become more noticeable hours or days following a collision.
At Eastside Medical Group, Dr. McKeigan evaluates and treats a variety of conditions commonly associated with car accident injuries, including:
- Whiplash and neck pain
- Lower back pain
- Mid-back pain
- Herniated and bulging discs
- Radiating arm or leg pain
- Sciatica and nerve-related symptoms
- Headaches associated with neck injuries
- Shoulder pain
- Hip pain
- Knee pain
- Joint and extremity injuries
- Soft tissue and musculoskeletal injuries
Treatment recommendations are based on each patient’s examination findings, symptoms, medical history, and individual needs.
NCV and EMG Testing for Nerve-Related Symptoms
Car accident injuries involving the spine or extremities can sometimes produce symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, burning sensations, or radiating pain.
Dr. McKeigan has advanced training in Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) and Electromyography (EMG) testing, which may be used when clinically appropriate to evaluate certain nerve and muscle-related conditions.
Electrodiagnostic testing can provide additional information when determining whether symptoms may involve peripheral nerve or muscle dysfunction and can help guide appropriate care or referral.
Spinal Decompression for Neck and Back Conditions
Dr. McKeigan also has experience with non-surgical spinal decompression for appropriately selected patients with certain neck and lower back conditions, including some disc-related problems.
When clinically appropriate, spinal decompression may be incorporated into a broader treatment plan designed to address pain, mobility, and function.
Not every patient or spinal condition is appropriate for decompression therapy. Treatment recommendations are made following an evaluation of the patient’s condition and individual needs.
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Personal Injury Care
Car accident injuries can involve more than one area of the body and may require multiple forms of evaluation and treatment.
Dr. McKeigan works as part of the integrated healthcare team at Eastside Medical Group, where patients can receive coordinated care based on their accident-related injuries and recovery needs.
When additional evaluation or treatment is necessary, patients may also be referred to appropriate specialists, including:
- Pain management providers
- Orthopedic specialists
- Neurologists
- Other medical specialists
This collaborative approach helps ensure that patients with more complex car accident injuries receive appropriate evaluation and continuity of care.
