The appropriate chiropractic treatment is unique to each whiplash injury and is directed at the primary dysfunctions detected during the chiropractic whiplash exam. Car accident chiropractors are trained to diagnose and treat many of the injuries that are typically associated with whiplash-like neck pain, back pain, headaches, stiffness, anxiety and nervousness. The length of treatment depends on the severity of the whiplash and the results from the examination.

Many auto accident injuries can stay asymptomatic for days, weeks or even months following the trauma. No matter how minor the accident our body flees to “fight of flight” mode which does an excellent job at masking the injuries. Leaving injuries unattended and hoping the pain will eventually dissipate can cause the problems to worsen and some injuries to become permanent. The orthopedic textbook states symptoms can take all the way up to 10 years to begin to appear on a more regular basis following any type of accident. It’s hard to believe that car accidents at such slow speeds can result in injuries, but researchers recently conducted low-speed rear impact tests and concluded that 29% of people developed symptoms related to whiplash at speeds of just 2.5mph. Schedule an appointment today and see for yourself why chiropractic is best suited for healing the body after an auto accident. 

There is not a better type of auto injury doctor in the world to see for whiplash than a chiropractor. Any auto injury chiropractor will be able to do the appropriate examination procedures to let you know if you sustained a whiplash injury. Please trust that the care we provide will be much better than wearing around the recommended neck brace.

Sciatica pain relief is one of our specialties. There are many causes of sciatica and car accidents are one of them. We help people recover from slips, falls, and other forms of accident-related injuries. Sciatica is caused by abnormal pressure put on the nerves coming out of the low back. You may think chiropractors are bone doctors but we are really nerve doctors. The nerves just happen to be protected by the spinal bones. The auto accident chiropractor can restore proper structure to the spine to alleviate pressure on the lumbar nerves responsible for sciatica allowing you to get back to your normal life.
