On an average, there are more than 6 million car accidents on the roads of the US, annually. More than 3 million people get injured due to car accidents, with more than 1.5 million of these injuries being permanent. Injuries resulting from car accident often go undiagnosed and untreated. Often times the pain and other symptoms of the injury are not immediately experienced at the time of the accident. These hidden injuries may be missed by emergency room physicians, as they may take weeks, months or possibly years before expressing themselves. Common symptoms associated with whiplash injuries include: neck pain, headaches, fatigue, shoulder pain, anxiety, lower back pain and jaw pain. Chiropractic treatment re-establishes the normal movement of spinal joints, relaxes tight muscles, facilitates the healing of tendons and ligaments. Treatment enables car accident victims to be pain free again and prevent the long term effects of whiplash injuries. Chiropractic care is considered one of the most effective treatments for whiplash injuries. In addition to traditional chiropractic care, cutting-edge physicians incorporate cold laser therapy, Kinesio Taping and instrument adjusting into their daily practices. These specialized techniques help car accident victims by decreasing pain, inflammation and muscle spasm. **End Summary** Topics: chiropractic]]> chiropractor]]> whiplash]]> car accident]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> To learn more about treatment for auto accident victims please visit CitySide Chiropractic Center .
