Why Chiropractic after a car accident?
The cervical spine is designed to provide stability and structural support for your skull. The Cervical spine, also works to protect the spinal cord and the brain stem. Nowhere in the body is the relationship between the vertebrae, spinal cord, nerve endings and soft tissue more susceptible to injury, than it is here.
Are the injuries you sustained in the car accident creating misalignment's in your spine called subluxations? If they are subluxations/whiplash they can manifest throughout the motor, sensory and autonomic nervous system. This means you might have problems sleeping, numbness and tingling in the arms or even muscle weakness! Yikes!
it's hard to believe that at slow speeds, even speeds less than 5 MPH, your body may become injured.
Researchers recently conducted low speed rear impact tests and concluded that 29% of people developed symptoms related to whiplash at speeds of just 2.5 MPH. Furthermore, it has been known that a 10 MPH rear-end collision can produce up to 9 G's of force in your neck! This means that the speed of the collision does not correlate to the degree of injury your body sustains.
The appropriate chiropractic treatment is unique to each whiplash injury and this is why we perform a detailed analysis for each patient. The sooner you get checked after an accident, the smoother and quicker the recovery time will be.
More than one million people suffer whiplash injuries each year and about 10% of those end up with chronic pain that affects their daily activities. But this doesn't have to be your reality!
If you or someone you know is suffering from pain related to an auto accident, get it checked out by a professional. You don't need to live with chronic pain.
Each year, the affects of car accidents take a toll on more than two million people in the United States. Whiplash can be one of many side effects of a car accident. Don't overlook the symptoms! Did you know that it may take 10 years from the time the accident occurred before you actually begin to feel the pain and it becomes symptomatic.
If you are in a car accident you should be immediately checked by a Doctor of Chiropractic, ideally Dr Crowe at Lighthouse Chiropractic; for whiplash as well as other injuries whether you are experiencing a symptom or just to get checked out.
