Auto Accident Injury
Personalized care for whiplash, back and neck pain, and migraines after a car accident; spinal adjustments and therapeutic exercises to restore function.
How It Works
Did you know that last year in New Hanover County alone there were over 247,000 car accidents? The typical EMS response time to the scene of your accident is around 9 minutes, and if you are transported to the hospital, expect another 41 minutes plus a long wait in the Emergency Room. How easy would it be for your injuries to go misdiagnosed, un-diagnosed, or even worse, ignored in a rush of minutes? Every second counts — the correct diagnosis and treatment can prevent a lifetime of pain, suffering, and injuries. At Graybar Chiropractic Centers, we understand that managing car repairs can be stressful, but receiving personal healing and the appropriate care should not be.
Key Benefits
How Do You Know If You Are Injured?
Typically, you will not know — symptoms of whiplash may be delayed for up to 3 days (72 hours) or more after the initial trauma. Clinical studies have also found that as little as a 6–8 mph impact can be sufficient to produce whiplash injuries in some cases.
