Auto accidents and chiropractic
Automobile accidents are an unfortunate reality for those who participate in the commuter lifestyle. Even with the smallest of crashes, there is almost always a negative physical effect on the body. Though you may not feel it, your body has absorbed the force created by several tons of material colliding. If you have been in any kind of accident, we strongly urge you to see how we can help you at Scorca Chiropractic Center.
We have seen a full range of injuries sustained from car accidents. Most commonly, our clients come in with neck, shoulder and back injuries. Whiplash is a non-medical term that describes what happens when a driver is struck, usually unaware, from behind, causing their neck to quickly thrust backward and then forward. This causes misalignment in the cervical region and damages sensitive tissues in the neck. Whiplash can result from a crash at speeds as low as 15 mph.
