Whiplash is most commonly received from riding in a car that is struck from behind or that collides with another object. When the head is suddenly jerked back and forth beyond its normal limits, the muscles and ligaments supporting the head and spine can be stretched or torn. The soft pulpy discs between spinal bones can bulge, tear, or rupture. Vertebrae can be forced out of their normal position, reducing range of motion. Don't delay in making an appointment with an auto accident chiropractor! Even though your car may not be damaged, you and your passengers could have suffered serious spinal injuries. Make sure you have a spinal check-up!

 Anyone who has been in an accident, even if there are no immediate obvious symptoms, should be examined by an auto accident chiropractor for whiplash. The resulting instability of the spine and soft tissues can contribute to headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, pain in the shoulders, arms and hands, reduced ability to turn and bend, and low back problems. As the body attempts to adapt, symptoms may not appear until weeks or even months or years later!

An auto accident chiropractor will use specific chiropractic adjustments to help normalize spinal function, restore proper motion and position of spinal bones. If treated early on, inflammation can be reduced and scar tissue can be minimized.
