Auto Accident Injuries in Wilmington DE

Consulting a chiropractor is always a smart move after having a auto accident. Some auto accidents are major, some minor, but many leave their victims injured, sometimes for the rest of their lives. Early care and treatment means full healing and a quick recovery. Even a car crash that is seemingly minor with limited damage to the car itself can cause serious injury to the driver and passengers. Auto accidents injuries cause spinal mis-alignments in the body, a serious condition that distorts your structure, irritates nerves, bones, ligaments and discs and can damage your overall health. Any auto accident, no matter how mild, can create nerve-damaging misalignments.

Delays in the onset of pain are also common. Joint injuries in auto accidents may cause post-traumatic osteoarthritis, which is a speeding up of the arthritis process. It will develop at an earlier age than in people who have not had traumas relating to auto accidents. We treat most auto accident injuries in Wilmington DE.

Whiplash

There are dozens of auto accidents every day in and near Wilmington DE and one third of these auto accidents are rear-end collisions, and are responsible for most whiplash injuries. Whiplash occurs when a sudden, jarring movement of the head is sustained backward, forward or even to the side. Whiplash destabilizes the spine and causes severe pain as well as other indicators:

• Blurred Vision
• Neck Pain
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Shoulder Pain
• Reduced Range of Motion in the Neck
• Arm Pain
• Neck Stiffness
• Low Back Pain

It is critical that chiropractic care is sought immediately after an auto accident since allowing the effects of whiplash to go untreated can induce long-term pain. The seriousness of an auto accident is not always known or felt immediately following. Most people do feel pain from a auto accident within the first 72 hours, but this is not always the case. It can sometimes take weeks or months before you start feeling all your symptoms. This is why chiropractic care is essential to maintaining the health of a spine that has been through a trauma.
