Whiplash
Chiropractic care is an effective treatment for a variety of injuries stemming from auto accidents. These accidents often leave behind unwanted symptoms such as whiplash, neck and back pain, misaligned hips and concussions. Whiplash occurs when a sudden jarring movement of the head is sustained. This destabilizes the spine and causes severe pain especially when left untreated. Neck and back injuries can cause nerve damage, but chiropractic care can relieve stiffness and pain in those areas preventing permanent and future damage. Misaligned hips are also a common symptom of auto accidents. If left untreated, this misalignment will cause spinal pressure and could cause long-term nerve damage. The most common auto injury is a concussion, which can cause long-term pain through migraines and pressure in the head. We can treat all of these symptoms and guide you back to a balanced, healthy life. Auto injuries are never fun, but you can rely on us to make the situation better. Come visit us today. We can help!
