Chiropractic Care after a Car Accident

In the United States there are on average 6 million car accidents annually.  Unfortunately there is no way to prevent being involved in one.  The important thing is to make sure you take care of yourself afterwards.  If you were involved in a car accident, even if it was minor, failure to seek chiropractic care could result in chronic conditions that take months or years to heal, costing you thousands of dollars in medical treatment. Many people who are injured in a minor accident do not even think to see a chiropractor. However, chiropractic care after a car accident is the best solution for most people because it does not involve drugs or surgery. 

One common injury sustained in most car accidents is whiplash.  Nearly 2 million Americans suffer from whiplash each year.  It happens when a sudden, jolting movement of the head is sustained backward, forward or to the side.  Although you may not feel bad at first it’s very important to see your chiropractor immediately because when left untreated, whiplash can lead to chronic pain or disability.   Symptoms of whiplash include: blurred vision, headaches, dizziness, reduced range of motion in the neck, shoulder pain, arm pain, neck stiffness and even low back pain.
