Auto Injuries

If you have been involved in a car accident, whiplash injuries need to be taken very seriously. Because symptoms of a whiplash injury can take weeks or months to manifest into actual pain, it is easy to be fooled into thinking that you are not as injured as you really are. All to often people don’t seek treatment immediately following a car accident because they don’t feel any pain. By far the most common injury from a car accident is whiplash which can in fact take weeks to months to manifest into actual pain. Whiplash is caused by a sudden movement of the head, either backward, forward, or sideways, that results in the damage to the supporting muscles, ligaments and other connective tissues not only in the neck but in the upper to mid back as well. Unfortunately, by the time the more serious complications develop, some of the damage from the injury may have become permanent. Numerous studies have shown that years after whiplash victims settle their insurance claims, roughly half of them state that they will suffer with symptoms from their injuries for years to come.  If you have been in a motor vehicle or any other kind of accident, don’t assume you escaped injury if you are not currently in any pain.
