What are the most common injuries from auto accidents that chiropractors treat?
The most common injuries chiropractors treat after auto accidents include whiplash, back pain, neck pain, and soft tissue injuries. Whiplash, in particular, happens when the neck is suddenly jerked back and forth, straining the muscles and ligaments. Chiropractors focus on adjusting the spine to relieve tension and restore normal function. Chiropractors also treat herniated discs, joint pain, and headaches, which are common after a car crash. These injuries can lead to long-term pain if not properly treated, and chiropractic care helps to correct these issues early on.
