OUCH!! You've hurt your neck and/or back in a motor vehicle accident. You are experiencing neck pain, headache, fatigue, muscle spasms, even back pain, shoulder pain, leg pain, all depending on what happened in the accident. It may hurt just holding your head up! You may be experiencing a Whiplash Associated Disorder (WAD). WAD may include any of the above mentioned conditions. Chiropractors are trained in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of WAD as a result of automobile accidents.  Treatment follows established evidence based clinical guidelines and protocols.

According to the Insurance Research Council, nearly 1/3 of all claimants injured in motor vehicle accidents (MVA's) seek treatment from doctors of chiropractic. This is an impressive number given that the National Safety Council (NSC) has determined there to be more than 12 million MVA's annually involving more than 20 million vehicles.

Many studies have also found individuals injured in car accidents prefer chiropractic care for the treatment of their injuries. One such study evaluated 190 whiplash injury victims and found those who received chiropractic care reported treatment satisfaction of 100%.

The reason individuals like yourself choose chiropractic care for treatment of personal injuries sustained in auto accidents is simple - chiropractic care is exceptional in the treatment of soft tissue injuries, especially of the spine. Since the most common injuries associated with MVA's are sprains and strains of the spinal muscles and ligaments, it's only natural that chiropractic be the treatment of choice.
