Automobile Accident
Injuries and Chiropractic

Recent developments in automobile safety, including seat belts and air bags, have reduced mortality in auto accidents. They have not significantly reduced the incidence of neck injuries that occur in such accidents. The most common auto accident is a rear end collision. The drivers and the passengers will experience rapid flexion and extension of the neck. This can damage and compress the spinal joints and nerves and cause tearing of the muscles and ligaments in the back of the neck and upper back.

Chiropractic adjustments mobilize injured joints, improving alignment and function. Smith Chiropractic uses a combination of adjustments, physiotherapy, exercise and lifestyle management to achieve optimum healing. Dr. Smith has successfully treated over 1000 personal injury cases.
