Whiplash is the number one injury an auto accident victim will be faced with.

When the head jolts this suddenly, the neck muscles and ligaments push past their limits, often causing chronic pain and agony. Some symptoms of Whiplash are headaches, blurred vision, neck pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulders and back. Whiplash can be caused by even the smallest accidents and most people don’t see a chiropractor because they think their injury is minor because the accident was minor.
