Looking for a Whiplash Injury Chiropractor Near Me?
There are over 342,534 car accidents each year in the state of Georgia. Some are minor and others more severe, but many of these accidents lead to Whiplash and Neck Injuries.
Many Whiplash injuries from car accidents occur at speeds as low as five to 10 mph. The severity of the injury often depends on whether you are properly restrained.
Neck pain ordinarily occurs when your car is rear-ended during an Auto Accident because of the violent changes within the structures of the neck.
The sudden backward jerk (extension) and forward movement (flexion) of a car accident causes the joints of the neck to be injured and can also cause the ligaments and muscles of the neck and upper back to be overstretched and go into spasm.
The neck is extremely vulnerable to this type of trauma because of its ability to move in multiple directions. If you have been in a rear-end auto accident, you may need a professional chiropractor to examine the severity of the damage.
