Hurt in a Car Accident?

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.
