WHIPLASH IS NOT A DIAGNOSIS OR TYPE OF INJURY, WHIPLASH IS A MECHANISM OF INJURY. At Corrective Chiropractic we treat a lot of patients with injuries due to whiplash. If you’ve been in a car accident it’s possible that you have an injury due to whiplash BUT you do not have whiplash. Your injury may be caused by an acceleration and deceleration motion known as whiplash but whiplash is not a specific kind of injury.…

No Car Damage Doesn’t Mean No Damage To Your Body A common misconception with car accident injuries is that “if there’s not much car damage then there can’t be much damage to the person”. This is completely false for a number of reasons. Let me give you an example of why this statement is completely untrue. If you’re looking to buy a dozen eggs, what’s the first thing you do when you pick up a…

Whiplash Injuries, Like High Blood Pressure For Your Spine

comment 1 Comment
Whiplash Injuries, Like High Blood Pressure For Your Spine   Let me explain.   Untreated hypertension (high blood pressure) can often lead to a deadly heart attack or stroke which is why it earned the moniker as “a silent killer”. While severe whiplash can result in death that’s not the reason for the comparison I’m making between whiplash and high blood pressure. If you die from a whiplash injury it will typically (not always) happen…

Greenville, NC chiropractors are seeing more and more car accident patients lately. With the constant growth in Greenville, NC there are more people on the roads and more people getting into car accidents. As a chiropractor, I often take for granted that the importance of spinal health is not always understood both by victims of car accidents but also by other chiropractors and healthcare professionals.

Children in Car Accidents There are very significant differences in children and adults. If you are involved in a car accident, do not make the mistake of assuming that because you may not be in pain or hurting that: 1. You are not injured 2. Other passengers in the car will have equivalent injuries or lack of injuries. What you are doing and how you are sitting during a car accident has an impact on…

​Chiropractors and Car Accidents

Chiropractors and Car Accidents The medical community is woefully undertrained in diagnosing and treating soft tissue injuries. That may not sound like a big deal but to a chiropractor who understands the seriousness that whiplash induced injuries from a car accident can possess, it is a VERY big deal. Car accidents are one of the top causes of injury in the U.S. Chiropractors, MDs, teachers, police, sanitation workers; essentially everybody drives a car. As a…

Never Judge a Chiropractic Office by its Cover

comment No Comments
Never Judge a Chiropractic Office by its Cover Never judge a book by its cover. The same should be applied to a chiropractor. Often chiropractors who treat primarily injuries from whiplash and car accident patients have a stigma surrounding them as an “ambulance chaser”. Admittedly, chiropractors may earn this title from time to time but simply having an chiropractic office where a majority of patients originate from car accidents is not a good way to…

Basically, everyone knows someone who has been injured in an auto accident.  Thankfully, with the addition of seat belts and headrests in modern cars, there are far fewer fatalities in auto accidents.

Short and Long Term Effects of Whiplash

comment No Comments
SHORT AND LONG TERM EFFECTS OF WHIPLASH Whiplash, while simple, can get very complex. The inherent danger stems from the mechanism of the injury which results from a quick acceleration and then deceleration.  Whiplash injury is, in fact, the more common name for what is known in the chiropractic community as an “acceleration/deceleration injury”. Regardless of the speed of your automobile during a collision, an injury from whiplash can still cause significant damage to your…

Why Do So Many Chiropractors Treat Car Accident Injuries? The simple answer, because no one else knows how.
