The un-expectancy of a car accident can be just enough to turn one’s life upside down. Here at Poladian Chiropractic Offices, we understand that the aftermath of these accidents can cause discomfort and pain along with whiplash-type injuries. Did you know that it is also possible that whiplash injuries can result in trauma to the lower back? Along with extreme pain, whiplash-type injuries may also result in bleeding, internal bruising, torn muscles, stretched tendons, and inflamed joints.

Whiplash is the most common auto injury and is caused by an intense, sudden movement of the head. Even minor fender benders can produce a permanent injury. When the head is suddenly jerked back and forth beyond its normal limits, muscles and ligaments supporting the spine and head can be overstretched or torn. Vertebrae can be forced out of their normal position, reducing range of motion and discs between spinal bones can bulge, tear or rupture leading to permanent injury and accelerated degeneration of the spine. Consequently, the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine can become torn or strained. Some of the symptoms may include neck pain or stiffness, pain between the shoulder blades, blurred vision, fatigue, dizziness and headaches.

We believe that it is just as important to fix these bio-mechanical injuries and restore regular ranges of motion as it is to get rid of the pain following an accident. At Poladian Chiropractic Offices, we have treated those in auto accidents successfully. We have learned the importance of care following an accident.

Other symptoms of whiplash and soft tissue injury include:
•Numbness or tingling in any area of the body
•Stiff neck
•Difficulty sleeping
•Difficulty sitting or standing for long periods of time
•Irritability
•Fatigue
•Depression
•Inability to concentrate
If you have even one of the symptoms above, and have been in an accident, you could have a soft tissue injury.

Following an automobile accident, the body attempts to adapt. As a result, symptoms may not appear until weeks or even months later. Pain pills won’t heal inflamed tendons, muscle relaxers won’t heal torn muscles, and cervical collars won’t restore graceful spinal curves. Chiropractic care, coupled with a specific exercise program is the best treatment for patients injured in a motor vehicle accident
