Here in the U.S., a car accident injury occurs every 10 seconds, and whiplash injuries are sustained by about three million people annually. However, this notorious neck injury can also come from bike accidents, sports injuries, slips and falls, etc. Even a low-speed crash can suddenly whip the head and body in opposite directions, with painful results. The rapid acceleration and deceleration strains the complex, delicate network of muscles, vertebrae, discs, ligaments and tendons supporting the 10-12 pound human head.

Although the victim of a neck injury from a low-speed fender bender may not feel any pain initially, if left unchecked, it can cause neck and back pain, headaches, vision problems, difficulty concentrating and sleeping, and other aches and pains around the body. Wichita chiropractor, Dr. Holdren has years of experience helping patients recover from this painful situation.

We Help Relieve Auto Accident Neck Pain

The problem with whiplash is that it often goes undiagnosed until the condition has sprouted secondary symptoms requiring pain relief that could have been avoided if the problem was caught earlier. This is especially true in the case of a low-speed auto accident. A car accident victim may go to the emergency room just to be sure everything is OK, but emergency room doctors are crunched for time, and usually cannot give this soft tissue injury the attention it requires, aside from issuing a neck brace and some pain killers.

This is why we urge anyone who has been in a car accident to come into our office as soon as possible so that we can fully evaluate the situation and offer preemptive neck pain treatment before the situation worsens into other areas. For years, we have helped neck pain patients recover faster through our skillful combination of spinal adjustments, spinal decompression, cold laser therapy, massage and corrective exercises, all of which are tailored to the needs of the individual. So stop suffering, and call us.
