Your body wasn't designed to deal with the forces that occur in a car accident. Even low-speed collisions can generate enough force to injure the delicate ligaments in your neck that support your head.
It’s estimated that over 80% of people involved in a car accident will sustain whiplash injuries. Indicators of whiplash include neck pain and stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and pain in your upper or lower extremities. Without treatment, half of us may continue to have symptoms a year or more later.
Thankfully, research tells us that you can improve range of motion and decrease the pain associated with whiplash injuries with chiropractic care. Combine a proper evaluation and early treatment, and you have a high likelihood of getting well within a matter of weeks - no pills or surgery required.
