Car Accident Injury Treated By Our Thousand Oaks Chiropractor

Car Accident Injury can permanently change your life. Even if you walk away from an car accident with just a few visible bruises, the invisible, internal injuries to your musculoskeletal system can cause chronic neck and back pain for years to come.

Unfortunately, traditional medical care covers up this pain with prescription painkillers rather than actually treating the underlying problem. This can lead to debilitating whiplash, neck and back pain, headaches and even difficulty concentrating on work. If you are struggling to heal from a car accident injury, our Thousand Oaks chiropractor, Dr. Sharon Dollase, can show you a better way back to health. She has successfully treated car accident injury in Thousand Oaks patients, and she can help relieve your pain, too.

Massage Therapy and Pain Management for Whiplash, Migraines, and Neck Pain and Back Pain

A car accident injury can cause serious trauma to the musculoskeletal system. For example, whiplash is one of the most common auto injuries. Whiplash occurs when the force of an accident impact “whips” the neck backwards and forwards. Even if the accident is just a minor fender bender, your cervical spine can still sustain significant damage, resulting in a misalignment. When the spine is not properly aligned, vertebrae can compress nearby nerves, causing chronic pain. Many whiplash sufferers experience chronic neck pain, back pain, headaches, migraines and difficulty concentrating. Victims may also struggle with sore or stiff muscles and connective tissues in the neck, making it painful to turn the neck or move the head up and down.

While prescription medications can temporarily relieve pain, all the pills in the world cannot restore your cervical spine to proper alignment. A skilled chiropractor, however, can use chiropractic adjustments to gently restore alignment and relieve pressure on nearby nerves. Dr. Dollase may also recommend massage therapy, which can relax muscle tension and promote internal healing, restoring a full range of motion and movement to your neck.

The majority of auto accident victims do not experience chronic pain until weeks or even months after their accident. Unfortunately, this means that many have delayed treatment for their injuries and already settled with insurance companies. Dr. Dollase encourages all car accident injury victims to receive an immediate diagnostic evaluation from a chiropractor following an accident.

This is essential to determining the extent of a car accident injury. Prompt treatment also reduces the build-up of scar tissue, which can complicate healing and exacerbate pain. If you have sustained significant internal injuries, we can also work closely with attorneys on your behalf for patient claims. Dr. Dollase and our team are committed to ensuring you receive the compensation for which you are entitled.

As a registered nurse and licensed chiropractor, Dr. Dollase understands what it takes to help the body heal following an accident. She recognizes that each patient has unique injury and wellness needs and creates customized treatment programs to help each patient heal. We serve the entire Conejo Valley including Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park and Westlake Village, and our wellness team had helped hundreds of car accident injury victims lead full, active lives without dependency on prescription painkillers.
