Auto Accident Injury Care in Round Rock
Expert Care When You Need It Most: Auto Accident Recovery
Auto accidents can be frightening and confusing, especially when you’re trying to understand what happened to your body. Dr. Harris, as one of the few Gonstead practitioners in Round Rock, brings specialized expertise to help you understand and recover from these injuries. Even seemingly minor accidents – those happening at just 8.2 miles per hour – can cause significant damage to your soft tissues, particularly in your neck and back.
Think of your body like a carton of eggs during an accident. If the carton looks fine on the outside but absorbs all the force, there’s a good chance the eggs inside are damaged. Similarly, vehicles that show little damage often mean all that force went through your body instead of being absorbed by the car.
The Hidden Reality of Whiplash
Whiplash injuries happen faster than you might realize and can affect you in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. When your car is struck from behind, your body moves forward while your head whips backward, tearing ligaments in the front of your neck. Then, as momentum stops, your head snaps forward, damaging the ligaments in the back of your neck. This creates instability that can lead to headaches, neck pain, numbness, and tingling in your hands and fingers.
Dr. Harris’ Gonstead training allows him to precisely identify and correct these spinal misalignments, addressing the root cause of your pain rather than just masking symptoms.
We Handle the Insurance Complexities
Dealing with insurance companies shouldn’t add stress to your recovery. Our team works directly with PIP coverage, third-party claims, and legal documentation to protect your case. We understand the importance of thorough documentation and will coordinate with your claims adjuster to ensure you receive the care you need. Bring any police reports, contact information for your adjuster, and as much documentation as possible from the accident scene.
Your Path to Recovery
Every accident and every person is different, which is why Dr. Harris creates personalized treatment plans for each patient. Minor to moderate injuries often take 2-3 months to heal properly, while more severe injuries may require 3-6 months or longer. We’ll use advanced techniques including spinal adjustments, and when appropriate, shockwave therapy to accelerate your healing and reduce inflammation.
Recovery time can be affected by pre-existing conditions, so we’ll discuss your complete health history to set realistic expectations and develop the most effective treatment approach.
Protecting Yourself for the Future
Dr. Harris strongly recommends installing a dash cam in your vehicle. These devices provide crucial evidence that can protect you from being blamed for an accident that wasn’t your fault. Take as many photos as safely possible before moving your vehicle, and always prioritize your safety over documentation if you’re in a dangerous location.
