When a car accident happens in Hudson County—whether it’s a rear-end collision on Kennedy Boulevard in Jersey City or a side-impact crash near Hoboken—the first stop for many people is the emergency room. While ER visits are essential for ruling out life-threatening injuries, they often miss a common problem: musculoskeletal injuries that can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility for months.
At NJ Injury Center, led by Dr. Jorge De La Torre, we specialize in treating the injuries the ER can’t always detect. Our chiropractic and rehabilitative care focuses on helping Hudson County residents fully recover—so they can return to their lives without chronic pain.
Why You Might Still Hurt After the ER Visit
Emergency rooms are designed to treat immediate, critical conditions like fractures, concussions, or internal bleeding. But many car accident injuries don’t show up on X-rays and may not be painful right away. This is why patients often leave the ER with pain medication but no real long-term treatment plan.
Some of the most common post-accident injuries we see include:
- Whiplash – Neck strain from sudden back-and-forth motion
- Spinal misalignment – Vertebrae out of place, irritating nerves and muscles
- Soft tissue injuries – Strains, sprains, and inflammation in muscles and ligaments
- Herniated or bulging discs – Damaged discs pressing on nerves, causing tingling, numbness, or weakness
Without proper care, these injuries can develop into chronic issues that impact work, sleep, and daily activities.
How Chiropractic Care Complements Your Recovery
At NJ Injury Center, we approach post-accident care differently. Instead of just masking symptoms with painkillers, we address the root cause of your discomfort. For our Hudson County patients, treatment may include:
- Gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore spinal alignment
- Soft tissue therapies to relieve muscle tension and reduce inflammation
- Targeted exercises to rebuild strength and improve flexibility
- Postural training to prevent further injury
Our focus is on restoring normal function to your body, so you can heal fully—not just temporarily feel better.
