Dr. Hedrick understands that an accident can affect a persons entire life, from the physical pain to the legal difficulties that often press upon an accident victim.
There are many different injuries and complications that can be caused by an automobile accident-broken bones, cuts and bruises, head injuries, etc. Luckily, most of the injuries can be treated by a medical professional and will heal over time. However, there are some injuries that can stick with you for months, or even years, after your accident. These are usually car accident back injuries.
Car accident back injuries often leave many auto accident victims in pain long after the incident. Back pain is one of the worst, and most prevalent, types of chronic pain that is caused by automobile accidents. These car accident back injuries can happen in a serious car crash, or even something as nominal as a fender bender.
Tremendous forces are created during a car accident. These forces can easily tear apart soft tissue and shatter bones in the spine. Whiplash is responsible for more than one million car accident back injuries each year and 10% percent of these car accident back injuries can lead to long term pain and disability in those affected.
Luckily, at Hollywood Chiropractic Spine and Injury Center we can help you with any car accident back injuries you may have sustained. Even if the accident seems inconsequential, the initial undetected pain could follow you for a lifetime.
