There are literally thousands of different injuries a person can sustain in an auto accident, far too many to list here. However, one very common injury is known as whiplash. The term whiplash is actually a non medical term used to define an injury to the soft tissues — the muscles, ligaments or tendons of the neck. While this sort of injury can result from falls or sports related activities, it is very common in auto accidents, especially those where a car is unexpectedly struck from behind.

When you visit a chiropractor, they will take x-rays of your spine to see what is truly wrong. It is not really possible to tell what is causing your discomfort by looking at you, so it is important for the chiropractic professional to go through all steps and check everything. After taking a look at the x-rays, the chiropractor will be able to tell you what the cause of your headaches or back pain is. They will also be able to tell you about their advanced treatments and which will be able to help you. You’ll find that the modern techniques are extremely relaxing and comfortable.
