Auto AccidentsAccording to the Insurance Research Council, nearly 1/3 of all claimants injured in motor vehicle collision (MVC's) seek treatment from doctors of chiropractic. This is an impressive number given that the National Safety Council (NSC) has determined there to be more than 12 million MVC's annually involving more than 20 million vehicles. The reason individuals like yourself choose chiropractic care for treatment of injuries sustained in MVC's is simple – chiropractic care is superior in the treatment of soft tissue injuries, especially of the spine. Since the most common injuries associated with MVA's are sprains and strains of the spinal muscles and ligaments, it's only natural that chiropractic be the treatment of choice. Many studies have also found individuals injured in MVC's prefer chiropractic care for the treatment of their injuries. One such study evaluated 190 whiplash injury victims and found those who received chiropractic care reported treatment satisfaction of 100%. Common Injuries and SymptomsMotor vehicle collisions can result in a number of very diverse and complex injuries and symptoms. This is due to the diversity of factors involved with the each MVC - i.e. vectors of the collision, size of the vehicles involved in collision, preexisting health conditions of victims, age of victims, size and strength of victims, etc.
