After an accident, seeking chiropractic care is essential. Chiropractic care never opposes necessary medical care after a person has an accident/trauma. The damage to the spine could take months or years to surface. That is why it is important for a spinal check up, to avoid later damage. Subluxations created from an accident or trauma often remain in your body and prevent proper healing. Chiropractic care can help the victims of accidents to completely recover so they are not reliable on painkillers for years.**
