Rear-end collisions are among the most common types of car accidents. While they might seem “minor,” especially at low speeds, the impact they have on your spine can be serious—and often invisible at first.
When your car is hit from behind, your body is thrown forward while your head and neck whip backward and then forward again in a split second. This sudden, unnatural motion can stretch and tear muscles, misaligned vertebrae, and place intense pressure on the discs and nerves in your spine.
One of the most common injuries resulting from this type of accident is whiplash. Whiplash can cause a range of symptoms including neck stiffness, headaches, dizziness, shoulder or back pain, and even numbness in the arms or hands. And here’s the catch—these symptoms often don’t show up right away. It might take days or even weeks before you realize something is wrong.
That’s why it’s so important to get checked by a chiropractic professional as soon as possible after a rear-end accident—even if you feel fine.
