Many people who have been involved in a car accident may not be aware that they are injured until symptoms begin disrupting their daily activities. An injury from an auto accident can occur at any speed that the vehicle is traveling. Even minor fender-benders can create injuries that may not be apparent at the moment or the day of the crash. An injured neck, usually called whiplash, is one of the most commonly injuries that can occur during an auto accident. In addition, other spinal injuries can occur during a car accident that may not be related to whiplash.
Recovering From a Car Accident
Our drug-free treatment targets the injury and surrounding areas to alleviate pain and prevent additional symptoms from surfacing. Dr. Petersen will monitor the healing process of sore and tender muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissue to make sure the injury is healing properly and in alignment with the spine. Chiropractic care after an auto accident treats the injury rather than masking it with pain medications.
