Auto Accidents
What are common auto-accident injuries?
Auto-accident injuries are common and can occur even if you’re driving slowly and wearing your seat belt. Some of the most common types of auto-accident injuries include:
- Whiplash
- Sprains and strains
- Fractures
- Head injuries
- Internal organ injuries
- Cuts and scrapes
Whiplash is a common rear-end auto accident injury that damages the soft tissue in your neck. In addition to pain and stiffness in your neck, whiplash can lead to other symptoms, such as headaches or blurry vision.
You should seek medical help immediately following an auto accident. Even if you don’t think you were injured. In many cases, your pain may be masked by your adrenaline and you may not realize that an injury has occurred.
What can I expect during an auto accident evaluation?
Dr. Weinberg specializes in the management of auto-accident injuries and conducts comprehensive evaluations when you come in for care. During your evaluation, Dr. Weinberg reviews your medical history and symptoms and conducts a physical exam, paying special attention to your injury and source of pain.
To confirm or rule out a diagnosis, Dr. Weinberg may recommend X-rays or other diagnostic tests, which may help direct his treatment plan.
What are the treatments for auto accidents?
Dr. Weinberg customizes your treatment plan based on the type of injury incurred, your symptoms, and your medical history. His goal is to reduce pain, improve health and function, and help you recover from your auto accident so you can get back to your usual activities as quickly as possible.
Your treatment plan may include:
- Traditional chiropractic care

Dr. Weinberg is board certified in physical therapy modalities and may incorporate various techniques to aid in your recovery, such as ultrasound, electrotherapy, or flexion/distraction.
