Car Accident Injuries

An auto accident can be one of the most terrifying and overwhelming experiences in your life. The force that the body goes through during an accident can cause whiplash or spinal injury. Many people assume that an injury is felt immediately after the accident or think that only high-speed collisions can cause serious injuries. This is inaccurate. If you have been in an automotive accident, it is vital that you do not ignore your health and seek proper care. 


Many factors go into the severity of your injury, including the size of the vehicles, speed, placement of your headrest, if the airbag deployed, where the car was hit, ect. Research has shown that a vehicle traveling at 5 mph at the time of impact can contain the forces necessary to cause whiplash injuries. Damage to nerves, blood vessels, and musculature might not become evident for months and possibly years. With that said, months and years later mean that you can no longer seek the proper reimbursement. 

Neck and Back Pain Caused By A Car Accident

Seat-belts and shoulder harnesses in today's vehicles has saved a lot of lives and prevented more serious injuries. However, they have greatly increased the number of neck injuries, back injuries, and whiplash that occurs in even minor collisions. Some early symptoms can include headaches, dizziness and confusion.

Whiplash And Neck Injury

Whiplash is caused during an accident when our head that is delicately balanced on seven small neck vertebrae is rapidly pushed back and forth. Because the forces happen so suddenly with so much force it moves down your spine and injuries muscles, tendons, and ligaments.


Early diagnosis and treatment in whiplash injuries are vital to ease the symptoms and to prevent long-term and chronic pain and discomfort. Dr. Meide can help reduce this discomfort through chiropractic manipulation and mobilization treatments.
