Whiplash
Car accidents happen everyday. Even MINOR rear-end collisions cause whiplash to the neck. Whiplash is really a bad sprain of the neck caused by the head being snapped to and fro. At impact, the body is thrown forward while the head whips backward. With the G-force, it is as if the head (which weighs about 10 pounds)suddenly weighs 90 pounds! Since the neck is between the head and the body, it is not surprising that most of the injury takes place in the ligaments which hold the vertebra together.
It is important to be examined by a chiropractor after an auto accident. Gentle chiropractic treatment facilitates healing and can prevent chronic pain. Without treatment, the whiplash injury can lead to arthritis in the neck. This results in persistent pain and it's hard to turn your head. Imagine not being able to look over your shoulder while driving your car. Chiropractic can work wonders!
Most people have “medical payments” also known as "Med Pay" coverage on their car insurance. If you don’t have it, get it! It’s only a few dollars more and well worth it. The big secret is that most health insurance will not cover soft tissue injuries resulting from a car wreck.
