Collisions that occur during an automobile crash can have damaging effect on your neck and back, even a minor fender bender at 5 mph. These collision-related injuries are called post traumatic whiplash. The tragic results from an auto accident may cause instability & injury to the spine and soft tissue, which may contribute to headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, pain to the shoulders, arms, and hands, reducing turning and bending, and low back problems.  The body attempts to adapt, symptoms may not appear until weeks or even months later.  This may lead to chronic pain, further soft tissue damage, and  joint degeneration known as osteoarthritis of the spine,  mainly in the lower neck, and lower back.  A common result with acceleration, deceleration injuries is the loss of normal neck curve mainly caused by the sudden movement of the head backward, forward, or sideways.  The chiropractic approach to these injuries is specific gentle adjustments to help correct, normalize & restore proper motion and position of spinal bones, reduce pain,  reduce swelling/inflammation and  increase range of motion. If caught early enough, scar tissue can often be minimized.  Consult Dr. Maria E. Manibog before depending upon addictive pain medications, and address the tragic result of uncorrected trauma to the spine & nervous system.
