Treatment for Chiropractic InjuriesIt is important for auto accident victims to receive chiropractic care because physical trauma can have a significant impact on the body. Whiplash, neck and back pain, headaches, and other types of pain all stem from car accidents. Motor vehicle accidents can also cause a range of soft tissue injuries, including sprains, strains, and bruises, which can lead to limited mobility, decreased muscle function, and ongoing pain.
