Have you recently been in an auto accident?

What a lot of people do not realize is that it does not have to be a traumatic accident to sustain injuries to your spine. The neck in particular usually suffers whiplash which can alter the structure of the neck, damage the discs and ligaments of the neck weather pain is present or not. If left uncorrected for many years can lead to many more health problems which most people do not realize. Getting checked by your chiropractor to determine whether or not you have sustained injuries to your spine is important.

Often times pain will occur days or weeks later as the injury sets in.

Many symptoms can be experienced from a whiplash injury such as:

    • Headaches
    • Blurred vision
    • Neck pain, stiffness or spasms
    • Shoulder, arm and/or low back pain
    • Numbness & tingling in hands or feet
    • Dizziness
    • Jaw tightness, pain, popping
    • Trouble concentrating and sleeping
    • Ringing in ears
    • Vision problems
    • Concussion
    • Post-Concussion Syndrome
    • Back Pain
    • Whiplash
    • Herniated and Bulging Discs
    • Knee and Shoulder Pain
    • Leg and Knees Injuries
    • Broken Bones
    • Ligament Damage
  • and many more

 

What to expect?

When you visit Spineology Chiropractic, Dr. Dustin Kniffin will first ask you to provide some background information about your symptoms and condition. We’ll then conduct a thorough chiropractic exam. In the case of auto accidents, we will likely want to see any x-rays or other diagnostic tests that were performed on you so we can gain a complete picture of your injuries and know how to treat them accordingly. If needed we will take some images or refer you out to get the necessary testing so you can get the best treatment(s) for your condition.
