Garland is one of the largest cities in Dallas County, with heavy daily traffic flowing along I-635 LBJ Freeway, President George Bush Turnpike, US-75, Broadway Boulevard, and Northwest Highway. With thousands of commuters traveling between Garland, Dallas, Mesquite, and surrounding communities, auto accidents are unfortunately common.
Even minor collisions can cause significant stress to the spine, joints, and soft tissues. Many accident injuries do not produce immediate pain, but symptoms such as stiffness, headaches, neck tightness, and back pain may appear hours or days later.
If you have been involved in a car accident, early evaluation from a qualified accident doctor serving Garland is critical to identifying injuries and preventing long-term complications.
At Texas Spine and Joint Rehabilitation, Dr. Daniel L. Pennell, D.C. provides comprehensive accident injury evaluation and personalized treatment plans designed to restore mobility, reduce discomfort, and support recovery.
During a collision, the body absorbs sudden force that can disrupt spinal alignment and strain muscles and ligaments. Even low-speed crashes can result in:
Herniated or bulging discs
Lower back injuries
Mid back strain
Soft tissue injuries
Joint inflammation
Many injuries involve soft tissues that may not appear immediately but can progressively worsen without proper care.
Early evaluation helps identify these injuries before they become chronic conditions.
