Even a minor collision can cause significant injuries. Many patients feel fine immediately after an accident, only to develop pain, stiffness, headaches, or mobility issues hours or even days later. Prompt evaluation is the best way to protect your health and avoid long-term complications.
At Permian Basin Accident & Injury Clinics, our chiropractic and medical team specializes in diagnosing and treating car accident injuries. Whether you experienced a rear-end collision, side impact, or low-speed crash, our providers ensure you receive safe, timely, and appropriate care.
Common Auto Accident Injuries
A car crash can injure more than just the neck and back. Impact forces may affect joints, nerves, and soft tissues throughout the body. Some injuries are immediately noticeable, while others may take days or weeks to appear.
Spine & Soft-Tissue Injuries
• Whiplash
• Muscle sprains and strains
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Neck and lower back pain
• Joint misalignment
• Sciatica or radiating pain
• Muscle spasms
Upper Body & Extremity Injuries
Arms often tense against the steering wheel or dashboard during impact.
• Shoulder pain or rotator cuff strain
• Elbow pain
• Wrist sprains or pain
• Hand pain
• Numbness or tingling in arms or hands
Lower Body & Extremity Injuries
Braking force or door impact can injure the legs and hips.
• Knee pain or ligament injury
• Hip pain
• Foot and ankle injuries
• Leg pain or weakness
Head & Neurological Injuries
Not all serious injuries are visible. Some occur without direct head impact.
• Concussion
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Post-concussive symptoms
• Headaches or migraines
• Dizziness or balance problems
• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
• Sleep disturbances

Even without losing consciousness, a concussion is possible. Early documentation is critical for appropriate care. We take a whole-body approach—evaluating the spine, joints, and neurological system to ensure hidden injuries are not overlooked.
