When a sudden accident or injury hurls your head backwards and forwards, your neck gets
thrown out of balance. The force can damage parts of your neck and reverse it natural
curve. This may even cause pain in your shoulders, arms, hands, and lower back.
Sometimes symptoms aren't felt until days, weeks or even months after whiplash has
occurred. Why? Because the body is a pulley lever system (joints). Just like a small cut on
your finger if not properly cared for it's in an area that is always moving and weight bearing
this stops the body from healing all the way just like your spine. It need that extra little push,
hands on therapy. Drugs and rest may not always work, proper therapy and spinal
alignments while it is healing is the best way to assure the least amount of scar tissue and
make you feel like you were before the accident.
See, it's up to you to chose the right doctor for the job.
Rule of thumb: If you don't feel better or even a little worse within 4 to 6 visits of your
treatment, it is not the right treatment for your condition. How do you know? It's your health -
do some research, ask your family, or even friends.
Chiropractic is the best known profession that specializes in both therapy and rehab, plus
you have the doctor treating you every time to make the treatment changes as you go
along. Once you have the treatment under way you have the craziness of paper work and
settlement with the insurance companies.
Most Chiropractors do all the paper work for you with little or no expense to you. That's a
feeling that you need during a stressful time like car accidents. If you need help after your
accident don't wait to see if you are hurt get checked out right away. Most symptoms don't
show up until it's too late. See your doctor or chiropractor right away.
