One of the most stressful aspects of living in modern life is dealing with the problems that arise after an auto accident.

Whiplash occurs when the body is suddenly jolted back and forth too fast or too far beyond its normal limits, the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine can be overstretched or torn. If left untreated, it can cause the discs in your spine to degenerate and create scar tissue formation leading to chronic stiffness and the inability to move properly. Common symptoms of this type of strain can be neck stiffness, neck pain, headaches, dizziness, back pain, and shoulder pain.

When injured in an automobile accident, it is important that you choose an appropriate treating doctor who provides spinal manipulation and teaches you in self-care rehabilitation exercises in order that you optimally heal from your injuries for a better long term prognosis and less permanent residual damage. Even if you are seeing other health care providers, it is still advisable to see a chiropractor to make sure your spine is problem free and your nervous system is functioning normally because everyone needs a healthy nervous system.

Work Injury

If you are injured while working, you must first appropriately report to your employer. This action must be taken as soon as possible after the injury. It then becomes your employer’s responsibility to report the injury to Washington State Labor and Industries or Other Self-Insured Insurance. One of the most common disabling injuries on the job is strain and sprain of the back/spine or repetitive motion injury. Most frequently the strain or sprain occurs in the lower back. Bending and lifting improperly are responsible for most of these cases, although neck and mid-back injuries can also occur in similar situations.
