Neck Pain and Stiffness Relief After a Car Accident in Tucson
Restore Motion, Reduce Inflammation & Get Natural Relief from Crash-Related Neck Injuries
Neck pain is one of the most common symptoms people experience after a car accident, especially in sudden stops or rear end collisions. Even if there are no visible injuries, the force of the crash can strain muscles, shift vertebrae, and limit your ability to move comfortably.
At Ornelas Chiropractic, we provide targeted, non-invasive chiropractic care to relieve neck stiffness and pain caused by seatbelt trauma, whiplash, or rapid deceleration injuries.
What Causes Neck Pain After an Accident?
During a collision, your head can snap forward and backward quickly, even at low speeds. This motion strains the soft tissues in your neck and upper back, often resulting in:
Muscle tightness
Ligament sprains
Joint misalignment
Nerve irritation or compression
Localized inflammation
These injuries may not show up on X-rays, but they can cause long-term issues if left untreated.
Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore:
Stiffness or difficulty turning your head
Sharp or aching neck pain
Headaches starting at the base of the skull
Shoulder tension or upper back soreness
Dizziness or visual disturbances
Pain that worsens with motion or activity
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Our neck pain treatment plans are customized for post-accident recovery and focus on realigning the spine, relieving pressure, and restoring motion, all without invasive procedures.
Our treatments may include:
