    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.

    The reason individuals like yourself choose chiropractic care for treatment of injuries sustained in MVA’s 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.

    Many studies have also found individuals injured in MVA’s 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%.

    Vehicle Damage and Whiplash Injury

    Posted in: Ellicott City Car Accident, Ellicott City Car Accident Injury, Uncategorized

    It has been documented in both medical and scientific studies that the damage to the vehicle is not related to the whiplash injuries suffered by the passengers of the vehicle. Vehicle damage is not proportional to passenger injury. Vehicle damage does not predict the degree of whiplash injury, the severity of symptoms, the duration of required treatment, the probability of suffering from chronic pain, or the acceleration of arthritis to the joints of the neck.

    Research has proven that vehicles that do not bend (sustain damage) in a collision will move more. The more a vehicle moves during a collision, the greater the inertial loads to the cervical spine. The larger the inertial loads to the cervical spine, the greater the soft tissue injuries to the joints of the neck.

    Just because your car sustained minimal to no damage, does not mean you have not been injured! Get checked out today…
