Distracted drivers behind the wheel mean a more dangerous roadway for all motorists to travel. Although about 1,500 car crashes are fatal in North Carolina each year, many more lead to injury, from serious limb severances to minor scrapes or bruises. Regardless of the severity of the collision, everyone injured in a car accident in the mountains of North Carolina needs to know the basic protocol to follow after realizing an injury.
The intensity of your crash will sometimes, but not always, determine how badly you are injured. External bleeding, wounds, and appendage damage are easily recognizable and generally considered worthy of a rush to the hospital. But what's not so easy to assess on the spot is the presence of internal bleeding, brain damage, and a spine thrown out of place. Subtle soft tissue injury and the beginnings of accumulating nerve damage often start with a car accident, and can lead to serious neurological disorders and immune system damage if left untreated.
When a vehicle must stop very suddenly as in the case of a collision, the cervical spine takes on a transformed shape as it is thrown out of position. This event results in whiplash, a sometimes debilitating pain in the neck area that can lead to chronic suffering for of individuals that have it.
Cervical dislocation, spinal cord damage, and disc injury are other common issues to watch out for. When addressing a car accident injury, it's important to remember that there is more to it than meets the eye. Sometimes a lot more.

One-quarter of American households include someone who suffers from migraines, and the most popular treatment for these painful, often throbbing headaches is prescription or over-the-counter medication. Why not? It’s fast and easy, and seems to get the job done. But did you know that a large percentage of severe headaches are actually caused by these drugs? The World Health Organization has reported that as many as 5{115649cd14c12cd94f0d147e1e5923e5cfd090a3a81f6b6da2d6b334a1994be8} of all headaches might be drug-induced. When someone has a migraine or other unrelated pain such as arthritis, they often pop a pill, hoping that the pain will go away. When it doesn’t, they take another one, increasing the severity and length of their headaches each time. The cycle must be broken.
Drugs Worsen Headaches and Health
The side effects of the drugs that are used to manage pain typically include ‘headache’ as one of the listed symptoms. How’s that for irony? Nausea, vertigo, neck, jaw, and throat pain are just a few of the side effects listed on the most popular pain medications. According to the BBC in England, over one million people are experiencing headaches as a result of their pill-popping habit. These are utterly preventable, and can be addressed healthily with chiropractic care which gets down to the heart of the issue, analyzing the root cause of the headache instead of putting a ‘bandaid’ of medication on it.
