A visit to the ER is meant to evaluate for life threatening or disabling injuries including broken bones. Sure, we definitely recommend visiting the emergency room after an auto accident to make sure any big trauma is addressed. But they likely won’t test for spinal ligament injuries and how these torn ligaments allow your neck or back vertebrae to become misaligned-we will.
Whiplash injuries can occur at just 5 MPH under the right circumstances. Even if you feel “ok” following a car accident, your spinal ligaments may have torn-then eventually with the stressors of even basic activities of daily living, this may result in unpleasant pain, stiffness or dysfunction in the body.
Spinal ligament injuries can often lead to disc problems. Disc problems are one of the top reasons people undergo surgery for back pain. Schmidt Chiropractic offers a natural, effective solution for helping you to restore abnormal spinal function before the need for surgery arises.
