Chiropractic Care & Harrisburg Auto Accident Settlements

Each year in Pennsylvania there are over 100,000 reported auto accidents, most involving some type of bodily injury. At Skocik Chiropractic, Dr. Skocik treats many patients with pain resulting from auto accident injuries. Some accident victims sustain traumatic injuries that involve a hospital stay and an extensive amount of rehabilitation. Others may not feel any pain initially, but begin to experience discomfort or pain relating to the accident weeks and even months after the event.

Common Auto Injuries

The most common auto accident injuries affect the neck and back. A common neck injury is whiplash. Whiplash occurs when the head is jolted forward and backward during the accident. It can affect soft tissues in the neck, impair movement, and cause intense headaches. Back injuries can involve a bulged disc, herniated disc, back strain, or a pinched nerve that can cause considerable pain. On a more severe level, an auto accident may also involve some type of spinal cord injury. Damage to the spinal cord can affect the ability to move, as well as the performance of other organs in the body. Some accident victims incur broken bones which may require physical therapy to restore full range of motion.
