If you were injured in a car accident, your first task is to seek a medical evaluation and treatment as quickly as possible. Even if the accident was a minor fender bender, don’t wait too long to see a doctor. Some injuries take 2-3 days to manifest, so don’t assume that you are injury-free if, immediately following the accident, you are not feeling any pain.
Sometimes the car may appear to be only slightly damaged, while the occupants can suffer considerable soft tissue injury. As the body adapts symptoms may not appear until weeks or months later. Whiplash is most commonly received in a car accident when a car is struck from behind or collides with another object, causing the head to be suddenly jerked back and forth. The resulting injuries can contribute to: headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, pain in the shoulders, arms and hands, reduced ability to turn and bend, and low back problems.
After a thorough case history and examination, the car accident Chiropractor will recommend a series of visits to help restore proper motion and restore function. If caught early enough, inflammation can be reduced and scar tissue can often be minimized.
