If you have been involved an auto accident, whiplash injury is very likely. Many people with a whiplash injury don’t realize that a slight headache or neck pain is a sign of a much more serious injury to your neck curve and the underlying tissues. It is also important to note that spinal misalignments and injuries to the curvature of the neck, as a result of the sudden jolt of the auto accident, may not become evident at all for a long period of time. This is why, regardless of the presence of immediate pain or discomfort, it’s important to have your spine evaluated by a CBP certified corrective care doctor immediately following any kind of accident, especially a auto accident, to avoid long-term injury.
