In our clinic, we have encountered many patients where the chiropractor looks at his spinal films and asks him, “Have you ever been in an automobile accident?” The patient replies, “I’ve been in a car accident that was a few years ago, but at the time it was just a car wreck I wasn’t hurt.” Whenever we hear these words, we as chiropractors feel a twinge of helplessness. The spinal films we held in our hands showed that the car accident he was in at the time had left a lifetime of damage to his spine, and so many of the symptoms he was currently experiencing were due to the neglect of his spine after the accident. Spinal injuries don’t bleed confessions, but your neglect is even more damaging to it without words. The most likely to occur in a car accident whiplash injury In foreign countries have generally formed a consensus, after a car accident lawyers will advise their clients to see a chiropractor first, the public to their spine on the insurance is also the most expensive. In our country, after a car accident, basically the injured person will go to the emergency department first, and then to the orthopedic trauma department, which will only treat some skin trauma or obvious bone injuries. Unbeknownst to the public, the most likely to occur in a car accident is a whiplash injury to the spine after the vehicle has come to an emergency stop. Should be in accordance with the spinal injury treatment in the vehicle suddenly stopped (frontal collision) or by other vehicles rear-end process, the driver’s head is easy to appear before and after the whip movement, is very easy to cause whiplash injuries in the neck. For an injured person with a spinal fracture, incorrect handling is likely to result in damage to the spinal cord, causing paraplegia. Therefore, if the injured person has pain in the back of the neck, back or lumbar region, or spinal pain, it suggests that there may be spinal injuries. For an unconscious victim, first aid and handling should be in accordance with the spinal injury. We need to take some precautions in advance In order to prevent spinal injuries caused by car accidents, we need to take some precautions in advance to minimize injuries. Whether you are the driver or a passenger, it is best to allow your head and upper body to move together in harmony when riding in a car. The seat headrest should be high enough that the body and head are effectively in contact with the seat and headrest. Drivers should try to maintain a posture of leaning back slightly, with the back of the neck supported by the seat backrest and headrest. If the seat design is not reasonable, you can use U-shaped neck pillow and other auxiliary items. The above methods can minimize the harm to the spine when braking sharply. However, if you are unfortunate enough to actually be involved in a car accident, it is best to have your spine checked as soon as possible.
