Don’t let an insurance company or anyone else tell you that your wreck was minor and that you’re not injured until you get it fully checked out by doctors that work with the spine all day, every day. Almost everyone feels sore after an accident but that doesn’t mean a little soreness is all that you’ve suffered.

Did you know that nerves connect all the major body parts to the brain through the spine, weaving through the vertebrae? When these get misaligned, pain can be just one of the health issues that result. Read More…

Even low-speed impacts can have significant traumatic effects: Speed is “not a conclusive predictor for cervical spine injury in real-life motor vehicle accidents.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2657117/

Fractures of vertebrae and rupturing of ligaments in the neck have been documented in accidents where the change in speed was less than 10 MPH. https://www.dynamicchiropractic.com/mpacms/dc/article.php?id=54419

In fact, the health of the accident victim’s spine prior to the collision is perhaps more important than the speed of the collision itself. They have found “no statistically significant correlation between crash severity and long-term outcome”. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16192914/

Injuries and long-term suffering are not limited to back and neck pain: “Perhaps the most important aspect of this study was the association of various comorbidities with history of neck injury from MVC. The authors looked at allergies, breathing disorders, hypertension, cardiovascular disorders, digestive disorders, and low back pain. They found higher comorbidities in all categories except hypertension; in many cases, the reported complaints were close to twice that seen in those with no history of neck injury.” https://www.dynamicchiropractic.com/mpacms/dc/article.php?id=31944
