Injured in a Car Accident in Prior Lake? Here's What You Need to Know About Rehabilitation

Feb 3

All Accidents Matter

In many cases, symptoms may not show up for days, weeks, or even months. Whiplash injuries cause sprain/strain tearing of the soft-tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons). Oftentimes, this will cause instability within the spine. Spinal bones can misalign and begin putting stress on the nervous system. Eventually the allostatic load is reached and the body begins to produce symptoms.

Car Accident Whiplash Facts

Even “low impact” auto accidents of as little as 5 MPH can cause spinal misalignment and soft tissue damage. Whiplash from a car crash occurs at 8-10 G’s of force. Previous injuries to the neck makes one susceptible to whiplash injuries even at 3 G’s of force.

“Low impact” auto accidents (between 5 and 15 MPH) cause the highest number of whiplash injuries. Many vehicles are designed to absorb forces at this speed and may not show sign of damage. It’s critical to have your spine checked and evaluated after a car accident to prevent future pain.

Car accidents are one of the most serious injuries that a human can sustain. Think about it - we are travelling at 50-60-70 MPH in a hunk of metal that weighs thousands of pounds. When we collide with another vehicle or object, this places a ton of force into the body.
