Whiplash injuries occur most often in rear end collisions. In these type of accidents, your head is quickly whipped forward and backward, causing immediate damage to the soft tissues in your neck, as well as your vertebrate. Most whiplash injuries are relatively minor, but can increase in severity depending on the seriousness of your automobile accident. Because whiplash injuries can progress if left untreated, it is important to seek immediate treatment.

What Other Spinal Injuries Can

Be Caused in a Car Accident?

• Any type of collision, even minor ones, can cause instant spinal injuries, making it likely that you will suffer long-lasting pain and decreased mobility, which affects every area of your life. Much like whiplash injuries, other spinal injuries resulting from an auto accident deserve immediate attention.

Can Chiropractic Care Help?

• Chiropractic care is one of the most effective courses of treatment for all levels of whiplash and auto accident injury. Some of the treatments that your chiropractor may provide to address these issues can include spine manipulation and adjustment, exercises to reduce tension, and relaxing muscles surrounding the affected area. After these treatments, it is likely that your pain will be greatly reduced, and much of your mobility will be restored.
