The most common injuries resulting from auto accidents are sprains and strains of the spinal muscles and ligaments. Whiplash is a hyperextension and flexion injury to the neck. This is often the result of being in a vehicle that is struck from behind, as being rear ended by another vehicle in an auto accident. It can also be caused by the jerking motion in amusement park rides, such as bumper cars. If you received a sudden jolt from an auto accident, you could have a whiplash and need to see a chiropractor.

Even in low impact crashes, you may encounter soft tissue injuries resulting in head, neck, and/or back pain. Your vehicle was built to absorb the impact of a crash, but your body was not! Click here to see the effect of a4.8 mph and 6.3 mph crash on your head and neck.

I've been examined by a medical doctor. Why do I need to see an auto accident chiropractor?

Medical doctors will make sure there are no life-threatening conditions and release the patient with pain relief medication. These pills do not correct structural or soft tissue damage.
