Car accidents can cause trauma and injuries to the body, which can hamper the productivity and mobility of a person's daily life. Injuries cause a number of symptoms and sensations that are both inconvenient and uncomfortable. One of the most common injuries caused by car accidents is whiplash. Basically, whiplash occurs when there is a sudden backward and forward movement in a person's neck. This immediate movement causes damage to certain tissues in the area and can even cause the neck to break. Whiplash results in both immediate and long term pain, and it should not be left untreated.Some of the most common symptoms of whiplash include neck pain and stiffness. Due to the sudden movement of the neck during impact, the damage to soft tissues causes immediate pain. Dizziness and headaches are also common, as well as blurred vision and ringing in the ears. There can even be secondary side effects like constant fatigue, blurred vision, and an inability to sleep well.Symptoms normally begin occurring within the first 4 hours after an accident, but some symptoms don't start manifesting until days or even weeks after the accident. It is crucial to have your body checked after a car accident to assess any potential injuries. Chiropractors are experts in this field, and they can pinpoint the source causes of pain and damage, so they can provide long term healing and relief versus just masking the pain.Chiropractic case is natural and non-invasive treatment that utilizes physical therapy, exercise, and massage to bring the body back to its normal state without the risks of side effects from medicine and surgery.
