The sudden impact of a car accident is stressful and overwhelming and can turn one’s life upside down. When injury and pain are added to the aftermath it can be devastating and scary. Ignoring minor pains and allowing symptoms to go untreated can lead to serious and long term conditions. Often these conditions lead to increased pain, loss of work, and an inability to lead a normal, active lifestyle. Without proper care these injuries can develop into chronic degenerative conditions.

Even minor accidents can lead to severe injuries. It is important to get chiropractic evaluation and start chiropractic techniques immediately even if symptoms are not present. Often the symptoms after a car accident are slow to develop and can take days, weeks, or even months to become present. Did you know that many whiplash injuries can also result in trauma to the lower back? The sooner chiropractic treatment is initiated the sooner healing begins, and the sooner you can get back to your normal activities.
