Truck Accident Injuries in Westminster, CA
Severe impact injuries, spinal compression, and multi-region trauma from commercial truck collisions require specialized chiropractic rehabilitation.
Collisions involving commercial trucks, 18-wheelers, and delivery vehicles generate significantly more force than standard passenger-car accidents due to the massive weight differential. A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh up to 80,000 pounds — roughly 20 times the weight of an average car — meaning the occupants of the smaller vehicle absorb a disproportionate share of the impact energy. This frequently results in severe spinal compression, multiple disc herniations, ligament tears, and traumatic joint dysfunction that require months of structured rehabilitation rather than a few weeks of pain medication.
Dr. Craig Petersen at Sycamore Chiropractic in Laguna Hills has extensive experience treating the complex, multi-region injuries that truck accidents produce. The I-5, I-405, and SR-73 corridors that run through Orange County see heavy commercial truck traffic daily, and our office regularly cares for patients involved in collisions on these routes. From the initial diagnostic workup through the final stages of functional rehabilitation, Dr. Petersen builds a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses every injured structure — not just the area that hurts the most — so that hidden injuries do not become chronic problems down the road.

Evidence-Based Care
How Chiropractic Treats Truck Accident Injuries
Truck accident injuries require a methodical, multi-phase approach. In the acute phase, Dr. Petersen uses gentle, low-force adjustments and instrument-assisted techniques to stabilize the spine without aggravating inflamed tissues. As inflammation subsides, treatment progresses to manual diversified adjustments, flexion-distraction therapy for disc injuries, and spinal decompression to relieve compressed nerve roots. Cold laser therapy is applied to accelerate tissue repair, and a phased rehabilitation program rebuilds core stability, joint strength, and functional movement patterns. Throughout the process, Dr. Petersen monitors progress with periodic re-examinations and adjusts the plan to match your body's healing trajectory.
