Addressing the Real Injury That an Auto Accident Can Cause

Auto accidents injuries account for millions of emergency room visits per year, and many of these injuries involve the delicate soft tissues and cervical vertebrae of the neck. Here at Eulo Chiropractic Center, we know these types of injuries extremely well. Our non-invasive, non-surgical solutions can provide not only short-term relief but also long-term correction of misalignments or damage.

Perhaps the most notorious injury associated with auto accident injury cases is whiplash. This condition is named because it occurs when your neck whips violently forward and backward in an automobile impact. This pulls and tears at the ligaments, tendons and muscles that allow your neck to move, twist and hold a steady position. However other injuries can occur, including lower back pain and headache pain, these symptoms may even show up a day or two later.

To make matters even more complicated, the same violent motion that damages your neck's soft tissues can also throw its vertebrae and discs out of alignment. This causes nerve pressure that typically leads to headaches, tingling sensations in the hands or arms, and other symptoms on top of the pain and stiffness you already have. On the other hand, some accident victims do not feel any discomfort at all -- at first. This encourages them to put off a visit to our chiropractor, which allows excessive scar tissue to form over the injury site and spinal misalignments to grow increasingly more severe. We urge anyone who has been in an auto accident to let us evaluate their condition right away, no matter how they may feel.
