WHIPLASH TREATMENT IN DENVER, LONE TREE & WHEAT RIDGE, CO
According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, over 100,000 motor vehicle accidents happen every year in Colorado, and this number has only been rising since 2021. Front and rear car collisions often result in serious injuries, the most common of which is whiplash. However, the effects of whiplash often appear mild at first before developing into long-term conditions that greatly impact the quality of life. Even if you feel fine after a car accident, whiplash may cause lingering issues that can affect your long-term health.
For this reason, it is important to seek medical care after an auto accident. Chiropractic care is an effective treatment for car accident victims and can relieve short-term and long-term pain while working on the underlying tissue damage to help prevent future injuries. Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to treatment and has long been used to treat car accident injuries, including whiplash.
What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash occurs even at very low speeds, making it one of the most common car accident injuries. While people of all ages can suffer from whiplash, it is often more serious in older individuals as their soft tissue is more easily damaged.
What’s more, whiplash is often not the only injury sustained in car accidents. Car accidents often inflict a number of injuries that complicate whiplash injuries.
