About Car Accident / Whiplash

Whiplash is a soft-tissue injury to the cervical spine (neck) caused by the rapid acceleration-deceleration forces typical in rear-end and side-impact collisions. Muscles, ligaments, intervertebral discs, and facet joints can all sustain damage in the same moment, which is why symptoms often extend well beyond the neck. Left unaddressed, whiplash injuries frequently progress to chronic <a class="seo-link" href="/conditions/neck-pain">Neck Pain</a> and persistent <a class="seo-link" href="/conditions/headaches">Headaches &amp; Migraines</a>. Chiropractic care targeting the injured spinal segments is one of the best-studied conservative approaches for reducing pain and restoring function after a car accident.
