With an auto accident happening every few seconds, there are countless people who suffer collision-related injuries every year. Any part of your body can be affected by an auto accident though certain areas are more susceptible than others. Some people suffer a few bumps and bruises while others must face much more serious injuries. Regardless of the type of injury sustained in a collision, it is important for everyone involved to be evaluated by a chiropractor when physically capable of doing so.

  • Whether you are wearing your seatbelt
  • Whether the airbags deploy during the collision
  • Where your vehicle was hit (i.e. side, front or rear)
  • Your posture during the accident

Frequently Asked Questions

What is whiplash?

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries sustained in auto accidents. It occurs when the neck is thrust forward and then abruptly backward on impact. Whiplash typically causes inflammation and damage to the soft tissues of the upper back and neck, which may lead to stiffness, pain, limited mobility and headaches.

What other types of injuries are common car accidents?

People involved in collisions here often complain of back pain or stiffness in the body’s joints or extremities.

Without chiropractic intervention, some may face a lifetime of pain and discomfort.
