Whiplash & Auto Injuries

Many People after a car accident just hope that the pain will go away with time unfortunately this is not the case

At first drivers and passengers may feel a little stiff but appear to be uninjured. But it is all too common for car accident injuries to start out as small aches and pains and end up casing severe impairment. When people do begin to have pain, they may feel it in their back and neck and the pain may be accompanied by headaches and tension in the shoulders or muscles next to their spine.

Unlike other injuries, car accident injuries many times get worse with time and eventually can become completely debilitating for a person, preventing them from performing their normal daily activities. Many people suffer from these symptoms without realizing that their injuries resulted from a small bumper to bumper car collision. Research shows that impacts between the speeds of 8-20 mph can exert well over 11Gs of force on the head and neck which resulted in brain stem injuries to over half the victims in the study. This force was found to be worse around children 3-4ft tall because the seatbelt provides a fulcrum that increases the impact forces on the child’s head and neck exponentially.

Many people go on without getting properly diagnosed, using painkillers to mask the pain and wearing braces to temporarily reduce the pain. Those people would do well to visit a chiropractic doctor. Many people are scared that they may have to pay out of pocket for care after their accident which is why they don’t get help but in over 90% of cases there is chiropractic care covered by your car insurance and it doesn’t cost you a penny or increase your insurance premiums.
