Auto Injuries are Stressful – Getting the Right Care Shouldn’t Be

The upper cervical area is the most vulnerable spot in the human body, and the most susceptible to injury in an auto accident.

Undiagnosed and/or untreated upper cervical issues can lead to serious and devastating health issues down the road.

The most common injuries sustained in a car accident are to the neck and back. Whiplash is the most common ailment and occurs when the head is suddenly thrust forward and then backward when a car is rear-ended.

The longer these kinds of issues go untreated, the more at risk you’ll be for increasing and/or worsening symptoms, potentially for years to come.

The sooner your injury is properly diagnosed, the sooner your treatment and recovery can begin.

We offer same day appointments for auto injury patients. 

Did you know that with proper diagnostics, you can be adjusted with the light force atlas instrument just hours after a traumatic whiplash or head injury?

Did You Know?

Even minor car accidents can lead to soft tissue injuries and upper cervical misalignments. If these injuries are left untreated, they can lead to chronic arthritic issues and increasing pain. Unresolved injuries can also lead to serious health complications, such as unresolved head injury and the long-term consequences of ligament damage.

If you just had a minor fender bender and aren’t experiencing any symptoms, you should still be evaluated, even if it’s just to rule out whiplash and/or any upper cervical misalignments.
