Common Auto Injury Symptoms

In the car crash patients that we see in our Seattle, WA chiropractic practice, the most common symptom reported is neck pain. During a crash, the head is often whipped around violently and that may easily injure the cervical spine. However, Dr. Alys Smith, DC works with many auto injury patients, and has years of experience diagnosing and helping these cases.

Even a "minor" crash may result in serious injuries, like ligament sprains. This may lead to chronic pain and disability if not treated properly. In fact, research shows that early treatment may prevent long-term symptoms.

Chiropractic adjustments are effective because they may help restore the healthy, normal function of your nervous system...without drugs or surgery.
