Auto Accident
Common injuries after a car accident
Whiplash is the most common injury caused by an automobile accident. Whiplash occurs when the head and neck are thrown or “snapped” back and forth very quickly. The painful result is injury to the ligaments, soft tissue, and discs of the neck and spine. Whiplash also causes impingement, stretching, or irritation of the nerves and the spinal cord.
Whiplash symptoms can manifest at the time of the accident or even days later:
- Headaches after auto accident
- Numbness
- Back pain
- Neck pain, neck stiffness, decreased range of motion around the neck
- Pins and needles in the face, chest, arms or hands
- Anxiety
- Ear ringing
- Shivering
- Hearing loss and/or blurred vision.
Why go to a chiropractor after an auto accident?
Even a minor auto accident can have major effects on your health! When one automobile is struck by another, thousands of pounds of force are exerted on the neck & spine.
Too many people who have been in a traumatic automobile accident do not receive Chiropractic care. That is the reason why over half of the accident victims never completely recover from their injuries and may live on pain killers for years to endure repeated surgery. Chiropractic care can make the difference between true recovery and healing or lingering pain and disability.
Different from the use of medication and surgery, Chiropractic care is about treating pain from identifying the root cause and providing a long-term restorative solution. Chiropractic care directly affects your spine, correcting misalignments, releasing nerve compression, from which pain symptoms gradually decrease and stop completely. Once the spine returns to its original equilibrium, oxygen and nutrients can more easily circulate, promoting the body’s self-healing process.
