If you've been involved in an accident, please see your Doctor of Chiropractic to ensure proper healing...

Whiplash injury to the neck, or cervical sprain/strain, is by far the most common injury that results from a car accident. Sprains and strains are referred to as soft tissue injuries (soft tissue includes muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Headaches, mid and low back pain and stiffness are also common injuries due to an auto accident.

Soft tissue injuries, for the most part are invisible on x-rays and often overlooked. Soft tissue injuries can cause severe debilitating pain after a car accident.

Worse yet, if a soft tissue injury is not directly addressed with proper rehabilitation, and left untreated and unresolved, the injured muscles and other soft tissues can end up causing chronic pain for months...even years following the accident.  

Unfortunately, the standard medical approach to these injuries often amounts to nothing more than suppressing the symptoms with pain-killers and anti-inflammatory drugs, leaving the injured muscles to hopefully heal on their own.
