Auto Accident Chiropractic in Surrey
Many people think that a minor fender-bender is “no big deal” when it comes to their body. But the truth is, any auto accident can cause significant soft tissue damage and misalignments in your spine that can put pressure on your nerves and lead to symptoms like neck pain, back pain, headaches, concussions and long-term, chronic conditions.
What Happens to Your Body
The physics involved in a car crash means that your body absorbs the force of the impact and can be propelled forwards and then backwards, leading to whiplash and other soft tissue damage, as well as misalignments anywhere in the spine.
These kinds of injuries can interfere with your nervous system’s normal function, resulting in pain, mobility and other types of dysfunction. Oftentimes nerve interference does not cause pain because most of the nerves in your body do not have pain fibers. So, you could have issues that you are unaware of. Getting checked out and addressing these issues to promote healing as quickly as possible can help to prevent chronic issues and scarring, and help your body heal in the proper position and alignment to remove that nervous system interference.
Don’t Wait
Misalignments in the spine can cause degenerative changes such as osteoarthritis of the joints of the spine. In addition, scarring from the injuries leads to weakness that can be susceptible to reinjury.
If your situation goes unaddressed, chronic pain can develop. Once the condition has become chronic, it’s much more difficult to correct. That’s why we encourage anyone who has been injured in a car accident, no matter how “minor,” to come see us right away.
