Car Accident Injuries and Chiropractic Care

According to Forbes.com, the car insurance industry estimates, based on their record of claims, that on average, each driver will file a claim for a collision about once every 17.9 years. This trend shows two important bits of information—(1) the rate at which each driver will figure in an accident and (2) the rate at which he will likely need compensation for a car accident injury.

There are three types of injuries that a driver can suffer due to a car accident—neck, back, and spinal cord injuries. A driver can suffer any or all of these injuries in an accident, especially if he fails to put his seatbelt on. Neck and back injuries may range from simple muscle strain to cervical dislocation and may require regular treatment. On the other hand, spinal injury could almost always cause problems in some parts of the nervous system.

Most injuries, especially the minor ones, are temporary, although they have to be treated to prevent conditions like post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Proper treatment from a physician is crucial, but the injured person may also consider getting chiropractic care that typically includes non-surgical treatment methods.


Considering that the injuries one can suffer due to car accidents may vary, the treatments you will need may vary as well. When consulting with your chosen chiropractor, you will undergo a thorough assessment via physical exams and diagnostic tests. Once the results are in, you can be on the road to better health with the help of chiropractic care.
