Chiropractors specialize in osteoarthritis, whiplash and other injuries commonly caused by car accidents. Unfortunately, too many people are unaware of how beneficial visiting a chiropractor can be after experiencing an auto accident.

If you’ve recently been in an automobile accident, it’s critical that you see a chiropractor right away. Even if you feel fine right now, the impact could’ve knocked you out of alignment, which can cause significant future pain.

Of non-fatal injuries treated in our nation's emergency rooms, what percent would you guess are related to automobile accidents? If you guessed 10 percent or less, guess again. The number is 15 percent.

There are many different types of injuries that can occur with slip and fall accidents, including contusions, sprains, and fractures. If the injury is painful or results in a loss of function, then it’s important to seek medical help immediately.

While it's possible to twist yourself around until you hear a pop, self-adjustments can't replace the care of a chiropractor. The main reason is because you can't get at the right angle with the correct pressure to adjust your own back.

Following a slip and fall injury, your health needs to be your top priority, so you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. This will also make sure that any injuries you sustained are documented, which you will need if you choose to seek compensation for your medical bills.

You’ve probably heard of lumber support, but have you wondered what the lumbar is? It contains the five lowest (and largest) vertebrae in the spine (L1-L5). In addition to being linked to the lower muscles in the back, these are also connected to leg nerve muscles.

Have you had a small accident? Even if your car wasn’t damage and you don’t have any pain, you should still be checked out. Serious injuries can often not cause pain for days or even weeks, and a chiropractor will be able to spot the injuries early.

The body's natural immune system can be affected by spinal misalignments, or vertebral subluxations. This impact on the immune system can weaken the body's ability to fight off viruses and illnesses.

It’s important to remember that the pain from a minor car accident may not always manifest itself immediately upon exiting the vehicle. In some cases, you may not begin noticing actual pain for a few weeks or months following the event.

Chiropractic care isn't only about relieving muscle and joint pain. Your immune system functions better when your spine is properly aligned, so a simple chiropractic adjustment can actually make you more resistant to illness or allergies!

How can a spinal adjustment by the chiropractor reduce the pain and inflammation in my neck? Your chiropractor can offer a more specific explanation, but when the spine is not properly aligned that can impact joints, muscles, nerves and bones elsewhere in your body. The adjustment allows the body to naturally heal itself and is often complemented with ice, heat and electrical stimulation.

"I have a soft tissue injury but I’ve heard that chiropractic adjustments are painful." First, those myths are exaggerated and many people report immediately feeling better following an adjustment. Second, an adjustment is not guaranteed to occur. Chiropractic care includes exercises, stretch, heat and ice and nutritional counseling.
