IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE 
You could sustain a WHIPLASH INJURY

Any substantial blow to your body, whether from a car accident, contact sports, or an accident at work, can cause whiplash or other neck injuries and warrants a thorough check-up.

Whiplash injuries can be so slight that at first you don't even know you are injured.Even if you feel normal after an accident, with no symptoms, you should be thoroughly examined.

Symptoms can be delayed for days, and in some cases, symptoms may not surface for years. Worse, whiplash injuries can still be causing symptoms after five years, and in the long run, can cause secondary problems such as osteoarthritis.

Hyperextension of the neck upon impact results in a number of capillaries and tissue fibers being broken, which, if left alone, can cause scar tissue development.
 

In many cases, abnormalities cannot be viewed upon x-ray and there is no visible injury.As a result, the seriousness of an injury is often initially overlooked. 

Fortunately, most whiplash injury is not severe enough to kill. However, if left untreated, it can lead to chronic pains, which can be difficult to treat later.

This delay in symptoms and the long term consequences make it very important to get examined after an accident.

What should I do if I am involved in an automobile accident?

There are a few basic guidelines that you should follow at the time of the accident.

 Do not leave the scene of the accident until a police officer arrives.

 Get all information from the driver of the other car.

 Ask the officer where and when you can pick up a copy of the accident report.

 Call our office at 688-8830 and schedule an appointment.

What if I am not feeling any pain after the accident?
Sometimes symptoms aren't felt until days, weeks or months after the accident. When they do appear they may start as sore and tight neck and lower back muscles. Symptoms often get worse over time with a greater chance of re-injury.

What is Whiplash?
When a sudden accident or injury hurls your head backward and forward, your neck gets thrown out of balance. The force can damage parts of your neck and reverse its natural curve. This may even cause pain in your shoulders, arms, hands and low back.
