Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA's) offer a unique and often challenging problem for the patient and the physician. Often the damage to the vehicle is slight (referred to as a Low impact Collision or LIC) and is dismissed by the insurance company or the medical Dr as being not significant to cause injury. Meanwhile, you are in significant discomfort and often barely functional. These whiplash injuries or non whiplash injuries, create a spectrum of symptoms referred to as "Whiplash Associated Disorder" or WAD. Symptoms that fall under the WAD spectrum include, but are not limited to, dizziness/vertigo, irritability, excessive fatigue. emotional vulnerability, PTSD type symptoms, severe Headache and visual disturbances. Medicine primarily masks symptoms and may give you a false security about your healing.  Chiropractic treatment has proven to be among the safest and most effective means of restoring your health.
