pedestrian injury

Many people are injured in pedestrian accidents every day involving trucks, cars, motorcycles, and other automobiles. Like auto accidents, pedestrian accidents can also cause severe traumatic injuries that need special checkups and examination done by a car accident chiropractor. Quality chiropractic care plays a vital role in the treatment of pedestrian accident injuries and to speed up the recovery process of the patient. If you have been involved in a pedestrian accident, you should immediately seek chiropractic care even if you have no visible injuries or you seem to be fine. 

pedestrian accident injury care


If you are a pedestrian who was involved in an accident with a car or another motor vehicle, you may suffer from mild to severe injuries; therefore, chiropractic care is immediately required to diagnose the intensity of injuries and make a customizable treatment plan for you. Sometimes, pedestrian accident injuries could turn into serious injuries and fatalities in case a person collides with a heavy vehicle such as a truck or car. Whether you are standing in a parking lot, crossing the street, or walking on the sidewalk, a pedestrian accident can have life-altering implications. Pedestrian accidents are more intense and severe than auto accidents because, in the case of an auto accident, both people involved in the accident have the luxury of being enclosed inside a vehicle, while in a pedestrian accident, a person is completely exposed to in front of a vehicle. Therefore the results of pedestrian accidents are often damaging or even catastrophic.

Some of the most common pedestrian accident injuries that can we treat at Metro Atlanta Injury & Wellness Center are as follows:

Spinal Injuries


Spinal injuries can be dangerous and life-threatening injuries that can occur as a result of a pedestrian accident. This type of injury could lead to the misalignment of the spine, compression of the spine, and sometimes even malfunctions of the spine. Consider chiropractic care from our best chiropractor. At Metro Atlanta Injury & Wellness Center, our best chiropractors are experts in treating spinal injuries.  They perform manual adjustments of the spine to restore its alignment and functions and decompression of the spine using modern chiropractic techniques. 

Head Injuries


Head injuries are a type of injury that occur when the head is subjected to a sudden blow, bump and jolt, or rapid back and forth movement of the head. The brain shakes rapidly in the skull as a result of a brain injury, due to which the brain stops functioning properly temporarily. Concussions and other head injuries are common in pedestrian accidents. These injuries can be mild to severe and even life-altering sometimes. 

Common signs and symptoms of Head Injuries are as follows:

  • Loss of Consciousness
  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Fatigue
  • Drowsiness
  • Difficulty in speaking
  • Sleep problems
  • Loss of coordination
  • Mood swings
  • Vomiting
  • Anxiety 
  • Depression 
  • Short attention span

Muscle Sprains & Strains 


Pedestrians involved in a collision with a vehicle frequently injure their legs, shoulders, hands, wrists, and arms. In severe cases, there is a huge impact of pedestrian accident injuries on the spine and back. Serious muscle injury can also occur in case of colliding with a heavy vehicle. Muscle sprain and strain injuries are often extremely painful conditions, and they have severe long-term complications as well. Rehabilitation may be required in some severe cases. At Metro Atlanta Injury & Wellness Center, you can get top-notch chiropractic care for muscle sprains and strains. 

Soft Tissue Injuries


Soft tissue injuries have a wide range of implications and complications including contusions, sprains, strains, tears, lacerations, and dislocations. Although soft tissue injuries are not severe as compared to other pedestrian accident injuries and they are easy to heal as well, these injuries can cause scars, severe pain, and long-term mobility problems. Our chiropractic care for pedestrians can be very helpful in removing all sorts of scar tissues from the body to speed up the recovery process so you can get back to your routine life as soon as possible. 

Herniated Disc


As you know, there are fluid-filled discs in the spine of our body that act as cushion pads during bending or sudden back and forth movement of the body. A sudden striking force as a result of a pedestrian accident can cause the dislocation or bulging of a spinal disc. This condition is known as a herniated disc and it is very painful. Our pedestrian chiropractors are trained in assessing herniated discs to provide better care for the spine. 

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents


Most pedestrian accidents occur in urban areas due to the high pressure of traffic. Pedestrian accidents occur at night times a lot of times, due to the lack of daylight. Some of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents are as follows:

  • Crosswalk Collisions

Crosswalk Collisions are the most common cause of pedestrian accidents. Many pedestrians are hit in crosswalks by vehicles particularly making left-hand turns. The drivers of vehicles are simply unable to see the pedestrians at night times. Sometimes, vehicles' drivers could be a guilty party when they are distracted by phones or music, etc. 

  • Parking lot accidents

Drivers pulling into or backing out of parking lots sometimes fail to make sure it's clear and end up striking or backing over unsuspecting pedestrians. Parking lot accidents are common in metropolitan areas where parking is located alongside roads or walking areas. 

  • Hit-and-Run Accidents

Although these accidents have different circumstances and situations, they are considered pedestrian accidents. In this type of accident, a person walking on the road or in the street is struck by a drunk driver, distracted driver, or a driver who is texting while driving. This type of pedestrian accident can also lead to severe bodily injuries that need high-quality chiropractic care. 

  • Bad Weather or Slippery Conditions

Bad weather conditions can also be a cause of pedestrian accidents because in such a situation it is not easy to control a vehicle. A slippery road might make it difficult to impossible for a vehicle to stop in time to let a pedestrian walk across the road. In these situations, vehicles can strike pedestrians that could lead to life-altering and painful injuries.

The chiropractic care you receive at Metro Atlanta Injury & Wellness Center can offer promising results for bone, ligament, muscle, and more importantly musculoskeletal injuries that can occur after a pedestrian accident. Fortunately, if you are involved in a pedestrian accident, our top chiropractors can help you in many ways.

We use special instruments and manual adjustments to manipulate joints of the patient’s body. Our best chiropractors are specially trained to treat many conditions related to pedestrian accidents such as low back pain, muscle pains, neck pain, and strains/sprains in the body.

To speed up the recovery and healing and get you back to your normal routine life after being injured in a pedestrian accident, our Chiropractors use the following advanced treatment techniques:

Soft Tissue Injuries


Soft-Tissue Therapy is a very important treatment tool to relax tight muscles, release tension and relieve spasms particularly in the fascia (a surrounding tissue against all body muscles). This therapy is very helpful in removing scar tissues from the body and reducing inflammation. It also serves as a natural treatment for muscle pain and aches. 

  • Manual Adjustments

Our Chiropractors perform manual adjustments of the spine to restore its normal alignment. It is also necessary to restore the body's range of motion after a pedestrian accident injury. Manual adjustments are also performed to fix back the bulging or herniated disc to its original position. 

  • Joint Taping/Bracing

Joint bracing is a Chiropractic technique that is utilized to support sprained joints or muscles as they heal. Through this technique, the movement of affected muscles and joints is restricted to allow them to heal perfectly. 

  • Manual Therapy

Manual Therapy is performed to relieve pain in different parts of the body. It is considered one of the best pain-relieving chiropractic techniques in the case of a pedestrian accident injury. Chiropractors are highly experienced in performing manual therapy to make you feel comfortable and calm before moving to other treatment techniques. 

  • Corrective Exercises and Stretches

Personal injury chiropractors at Metro Atlanta Injury & Wellness Center help you by doing highly beneficial corrective exercises that not only speed up your recovery process but also save you from the long-term effects of the injuries. These exercises and stretches are also very important to restore your body's mobility and normal range of motion.
