Auto Injuries:

You are sitting in your car at a stoplight. Suddenly you are rear-ended. You may or may not see it coming. What happens in these few moments can have serious consequences. What you do about it in the next days and weeks may forever affect your future health.

The cervical spine is the most common area of injury. This is due to the “whiplash” effect created by the rear impact collision. As little as an 8 mile per hour impact can cause significant injuries to the occupants of both vehicles.

Symptoms to look for:

  1. Headaches
  2. Jaw / Face Pain
  3. Numbness / Tingling in Hands / Arms
  4. Neck Pain
  5. Shoulder Pain
  6. Low Back Pain
  7. Memory Difficulties

These symptoms may appear for a while then dissipate. A delayed onset of symptoms is very common. Symptoms may re-appear or show up days, weeks, even months later. Ignoring the early symptoms may be devastating to your future health.

Initiating the proper treatment following an auto injury is vital to the healing of injured soft tissue. If proper treatment and therapy is not administered in a timely manner, irreversible scar tissue and adhesions develop creating the possibility of permanent injury and progressive spinal / joint deterioration.

If you or someone you know has been involved in an auto accident, call us today to set up a consultation so we can get you on the road to recovery.
