Auto Injury

Regardless of the severity of the car accident, damage to the spine happens more frequently than you can imagine. This is the reason why it is critical to see a chiropractor to assess the damage regardless of pain before it leads to more serious health issues.

Any car accident, fall or slip can be fatal to your spine, due to the possible tearing of the ligaments that support each of your joints. Major car accidents especially can result in serious long-term consequences far beyond pain.

It is important that you receive a chiropractic evaluation after any accident, fall or slip to ensure that your spine is functioning to its fullest potential. When you have injuries from accidents, it is as if tons fell on you. Your internal organs and tissues are the ones that absorb these extreme forces. If you don’t act on time to help your body heal, your tissues will trigger an inflammatory response that leads you to feel pain and get worse after days, weeks, or months from the accidents. It is important that you receive the needed chiropractic care on time, so that you can heal quickly and properly.

Did you know that even a small whiplash can lead to spinal misalignments? Many people involved in such “minor” accidents may not feel any pain for days after the accident, but little do they know that even the smallest jolt can cause damage to the spine without even knowing about it. In time, the misalignment will grow worse, and begin to interfere with nerve flow which is required for every bodily function. If left untreated, patients typically begin to feel pain weeks or month after the accident, and experience seemingly unrelated symptoms such as migraines, digestive issues, and even cardiovascular issues all stemming from nerve blockages that were not treated initially.
