If you have been in a car crash you may have experienced the most common injury to the upper spine --- your neck. Common symptoms include joint pain, muscle pain, headaches, arm pain and leg pain. These symptoms occur when the vertebral joints and associated muscles and nerves are subjected to uncommon forces and movements associated with a car crash.

The BC Chiropractic Association has developed a car crash injury pamphlet titled “After the Crash: Taking the soft out of soft tissue injury.” The pamphlet discusses common symptoms associated with car crashes, treatment and prevention. Please CLICK HERE to view this pamphlet.

Most important, if you have been involved in a car crash we urge you to have an examination by your family chiropractor as soon as possible to support the recovery process.
