Patients in car accidents should never skip a complete spinal exam because they do not have immediate symptoms or pain. It may take several hours or days for the body to calm down before experiencing pain, stiffness, or soreness. Dr. Josh advises getting evaluated as soon as possible after a car accident. Early detection of whiplash and other spine injuries is critical to overcoming any pain you may be experiencing and accelerating the healing process to avoid long-term issues.
Whiplash is the most common condition we see; its effects are felt as soon as an accident occurs. Whiplash injuries occur when two cars collide, and the impact causes the neck muscles to violently move forward, backward, or to the side, causing extreme movement of the head and spine and spraining the surrounding ligaments.
Motor vehicle injuries are a major issue because they frequently cause severe damage to the muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments of the spine and surrounding areas. These injuries can alter the spine's natural curvature if left untreated, resulting in permanent functional loss.
Dr. Josh will create a comprehensive care plan to help relieve your pain, correct any issues or damage, and stabilize the spine to prevent long-term pain or loss of function. This will reduce the need for medication and surgery significantly. A study published in the International Journal of the Care of the Injured found that 93% of patients improved significantly after receiving chiropractic care, and we've seen the same great results in our office!
