Symptoms after a car accident can cause you pain right away or may take days up to weeks to develop. Soft tissue ligaments, tendons, and muscles are over-stretched, strained, and sprained during an auto accident. These soft tissue injuries often will often take longer to heal than if you had broken bones. That is why it is so important to be examined after an accident. Without proper treatment, these types of injuries can develop into scar tissue and a lifetime of pain. The chiropractic approach to these types of injuries is to use specific chiropractic adjustments to help return spinal function.

If you have been involved in a recent auto accident, whiplash injuries must be taken very seriously. Too often people involved in a car accident choose not to seek treatment. It can cause a wide variety of symptoms, even if they are not noticed immediately after the accident. Whiplash occurs when a sudden movement of the head in any direction, often in car accidents, results in damage to the surrounding ligaments, supporting muscles, and various other connective tissues in the back and neck.

Unfortunately, the symptoms of the accident or injury may develop later on, and by the time you realize that you have sustained a serious injury, the damage may already be permanent. Numerous studies show that victims of auto accidents that suffer from a whiplash injury will still suffer with symptoms after they settle their insurance claims. It is very important to get treated after the accident right away to allow the tissues and injuries to heal. This will help prevent further symptoms from occurring in the future.

If you have been in a motor vehicle accident or any other kind of accident, don't assume that you will recover from the injury because you are not currently in pain. Call Crawford Chiropractic for a free consultation to find out the severity of your injury.
