Hurt in a Car Accident?
Statistics indicates that every seven years you will be involved in an automobile accident. Before you panic you should know that in my San Diego based Chiropractic Clinic we provide treatment for those patients involved in auto accidents on a regular basis. I have treated patients in their 60’s, 70’s and 80’s who have never been in a car accident and I have treated people who are in their 20’s and 30’s who have been in half a dozen. Some people just have enough accidents to cover all of us!
The most common injury resulting from car accidents is whiplash. Whiplash is a medical term that describes an injury that involves straining, spraining and sometimes tearing of the muscles and ligaments that move and support our joints, especially the joints of our spines.
Whiplash is most often associated with rear-end type auto accidents in which the heads and necks of those in the car being hit are suddenly snapped violently backward and forward by the force of the impact.
Whiplash can occur at almost any speed, even in low force auto accident at speeds as low or less than 5mph. Whiplash can also be related to other incidents or mishaps in which the head is pushed or jerked beyond its normal range of motion.
Common outcomes of auto accident injuries include serious and chronic neck pain, as well as back pain, headaches, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, nausea, numbness and dizziness. More serious injuries such as bruising of the brain can sometimes occur in auto accidents resulting in concussion.
If you were injured in an auto accident it is important to get evaluated by a chiropractor who is trained to deal with personal injuries related to auto accidents.

The Hidden Injuries of Car Accidents
The Hidden Injuries of Car Accidents
It all happens so fast. You are sitting in your car at a red light and then WHAM! You are rear-ended by another vehicle.
The sudden, unexpected accident that caused your whiplash injury may fade into memory, but the physical and psychological damage of whiplash can become chronic, severely affecting your quality of life.
Over 25% of people who are injured in auto accidents don’t make a full recovery. That means that they live with some ongoing pain or disability related to their injury.
When we are injured in whiplash accidents, muscles are torn and ligaments are sprained. Torn muscles and sprained ligaments heal with scar tissue which limits our mobility, causes pain in cold weather and can impede our ability to play the sports or participate in the leisure time that we enjoy.
Chiropractic care can give you the best chance at living a normal, healthy life after a car accident. This is because chiropractic techniques were developed to relieve the neck pain, back pain, headaches and other debilitating effects of whiplash.
Specifically, chiropractic care will help you with:
• restoring movement lost after the accident,
• overcoming muscle weakness and enhance muscle tone,
• speeding recovery, and
• diminishing chronic symptoms that can persist or recur over many years.
Chiropractic adjustments have proved successful for hundreds of thousands of patients. Chiropractic care significantly reduces patients' distress and allows them the best chance of returning to their normal activities and lifestyle.
