An auto accident can leave you with life-altering injuries that plague you for years. It doesn't have to be this way, though. Even more frustrating is that not all injuries from auto accidents are visible. These invisible injuries affect your quality of life if they are not treated.
One such invisible injury is whiplash. Whiplash is most often the result of the sudden impact of your vehicle being struck. Your body is thrust forward and then slammed back. Even if there is little damage to your vehicle and even if you haven't sustained any other visible injuries, you may still need medical care.
No matter how you are feeling after an auto accident, even a minor one, you should always seek medical care and follow up to insure that you have fully recovered from any neck, back or other spine injuries. Your Stone Mountain chiropractor can help.
After your accident, it's important to follow up immediately with your medical provider to rule out any serious injuries. Even after you've been cleared, though, it's important to consult your chiropractor to fully assess the impact the accident has had on your body. Your chiropractor can start working on a treatment plan to help relieve your immediate symptoms as well as improve your long-term prognosis.
Even a decade later you may be feeling the effects of whiplash. If you were in an accident and never followed up with comprehensive care and evaluations, your current symptoms are likely a result of spinal injury. For example, if you have frequent headaches, numbing or tingling in the hands and feet, persistent neck and back pain or dizziness, these symptoms indicate possible whiplash-related injury.
It's important to be treated for the stress and injury to your musculoskeletal system to prevent problems later. If you have had an auto accident, or if you are struggling with symptoms of whiplash, contact Stoneview Injury and Wellness Clinic today. Call (404) 299-9066 to schedule a consultation.
