Even the most minor automobile accident can have major effects on your body. When we are involved in motor vehicle accidents, thousands of pounds of force are exerted on the body, most notably the neck and spine.

    Cervical acceleration/deceleration (CAD) injuries, more commonly referred to as Whiplash, occur when the head and neck are thrown or snapped back and forth very quickly. The result of this injury is damage to the ligaments, muscle, and discs of the neck and spine.

    CAD injuries also cause impingement, stretching and irritation of the local nerves and spinal cord. This can result in headaches, numbness, tingling in the face, arms or hands. Whiplash injuries can also result in neck pain, back pain, ear ringing, dizziness, hearing loss and blurred vision.

    So often when we are injured in a car accident we do not seek care, this results in many accident victims never completely recovering from the injuries and are forced later in life to endure surgeries or resort to pain medications.

    Chiropractic care can be the difference between true recovery vs. lingering pain and long-term disability.

    At Big Stone Chiropractic Health Center we take these injuries very seriously. Through our treatment protocols we are able to restore nervous system function, heal sore and damaged muscles and ligaments, and aid in a complete recovery after your accident.
