Auto Accidents

The sudden impact of a car accident is enough to turn one's life upside down. At Emergency Chiropractic®, we understand the bio-mechanical relationships that result in pain and discomfort following whiplash-type injuries. Did you know that many whiplash injuries can also result in trauma to the lower back?       In addition to agonizing pain, whiplash-type injuries may also result in torn muscles, stretched tendons, inflamed joints, internal bruising, and bleeding.

     The most common auto injury is whiplash, which is caused by a sudden movement of the head. The result is that muscles and ligaments supporting the spine can become strained or torn.  Some symptoms may include neck pain or stiffness, pain between the shoulder blades, blurred vision, fatigue, headache and dizziness to name a few.

     According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration more than 800,000 people suffer from whiplash every year.  Costs related to whiplash total more than Five Billion annually. Proper care can help reduce long term pain and discomfort.

     Just as it is important to get rid of pain following an accident, it is important to correct bio-mechanical injuries and restore normal ranges of motion.  At Emergency Chiropractic®, we have successfully treated thousands of auto accidents and work injuries. We have learned the importance of  care following an accident.  Untreated bio-mechanical injuries may not heal optimally. If you have injuries from an auto accident, a thorough Chiropractic Exam to determine if you are a candidate for Chiropractic Care is important. If we do not feel we can help... we will tell you so!  We have been doing this for 35 years!
