ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- Did you know the average driver will be in a car crash once every 18 years?

The odds are high that one of these accidents will result in whiplash or other bodily injury.

Even a minor fender bender can result in whiplash, and symptoms can linger, making day-to-day life difficult. Whiplash is a neck injury due to a rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, like the cracking of a whip. According to the Mayo Clinic, "most people with whiplash get better within a few weeks by following a treatment plan that includes medication and exercise."

Did you know your chiropractor in Ann Arbor can treat neck pain following a car accident?

After a whiplash injury, you may not feel immediate pain. Sometimes, symptoms don't show up for days or even years after an accident has occurred. Typical symptoms of whiplash are neck pain, back pain, vertigo, nausea, weakness, headaches, and numbness and tingling in the extremities.

Providing no fractures have occurred from your accident, Dr. Gessert will do an examination to see the extent of damage or any change in your spine. By doing orthopedic and neurologic tests, a range of motion test, posture and palpation check, and x-rays, Dr. Gessert can determine if an MRI is needed, and refer you out to one if necessary.

After this exam, a treatment plan will be created for you. This plan could include passive and active exercises, chiropractic spinal and extremity adjustments, and therapies such as traction to correct the spinal position.
