Car Accident Chiropractor

Car accidents cause over 4 million injuries in the United States alone every year. Oftentimes, those involved in minor rear-end collisions or fender benders are unaware of their sustained injuries for weeks, even months at a time after the accident occurs.

Car related accidents can cause disks in you back to slip, pinched nerves in your spine or stiff muscle in your neck and back. If left untreated, these injuries can lead to worsening pain, and even debilitation.

Whiplash

A common car related injury is called whiplash. Whiplash is a painful neck injury that occurs when the head and neck are forced back and forth in a quick, rapid movement, similar to a whip cracking.

As mentioned before, many victims are unaware of the whiplash injury until days after the initial accident. While typically minor and treatable, whiplash has the potential to cause permanent neck and spine damage. That why it is important to consult a doctor or therapist right away if you experience and neck or back pain after a vehicle accident.
