Summertime Auto Accident Injuries: Our Chiropractor Can Help

Seasonal Help from Our Auto Accident Injury Chiropractor

Summer vacations frequently mean road trips, holiday parties and general revelry on the road. If you drive a four-wheeled vehicle or ride a motorcycle, be aware that this extra traffic density, coupled with the tendency of some to drive while impaired or distracted, can increase your risk of an automotive injury. Fortunately, our auto accident injury chiropractor at Lake Worth Chiropractic & Wellness can prescribe the right combination of therapies to help you recover from just such a frightening event.

If you associate auto accident injuries with high-speed impacts, think again. Even a vehicle traveling at just a few miles per hour can transmit considerable force. This is sufficient to send your upper body flying forward and then "whipping" back again, causing a combination of soft tissue injury, neck misalignment and pinched nerves known as whiplash. Lower back injuries and other types of musculoskeletal strain are also common.

Many people like to feel the wind in their face during summer excursions, but motorcycle enthusiasts assume an extra degree of physical risk. Motorcycle mishaps create many of the same types of injuries as auto accidents, only more so. In addition to whiplash, disc herniations and other problem sustained from impact with another vehicle, you may encounter additional stresses and strains due to the lack of airbags or other restraints. You may also be thrown from your bike, landing onto a hard road surface and damaging your spinal alignment, discs and/or joints.
