Automobile injuries/whiplash
Patients with car injuries are frequent visitors to a chiropractic clinic. The range of complaints vary as much as the type of injury, although the most common type of pain is whiplash and forms of spinal pain. These can be very successfully treated by chiropractic care.
Automobile accidents can cause many muscular and tendon strains/pain, and mal positioning of the small vertebrae in the neck. However, not all these symptoms are apparent straightaway, so even an injury from a while ago should be looked at.
Whiplash can occur when the body is thrown forward at great velocity and the neck is thrown backwards and forwards. This results in great stress on the fine bone structures from straining or tearing of the ligaments, tendons, muscles and discs.
