Why see a chiropractor after a car accident?
Pain from a car accident does not always show up right away. Some people feel fine for a day or 2 and then get stiff or sore. An exam soon after the accident helps find problems early and creates a written record of your injuries.
What is whiplash?
Whiplash is a neck injury caused when your head is thrown forward and back fast, like in a rear-end crash. It can cause neck pain, stiffness, headaches and shoulder pain. It can happen even in a low speed crash.
