Car Accidents
Welcome to Taylor Chiropractic Car Accidents Page. We trust that you will find our Car Accidents Page useful in making your decision for Chiropractors in Clinton, MS.
Car accidents can cause serious injuries — even when the collision seems minor. Many people walk away from an accident feeling “fine,” only to develop neck pain, headaches, stiffness, or back pain days or even weeks later.
At Taylor Chiropractic in Clinton, MS, Dr. Virgil Taylor provides thorough evaluations and personalized care for individuals injured in auto accidents throughout Clinton, Jackson, Raymond, and surrounding Mississippi communities.
Why Auto Injuries Should Never Be Ignored
The sudden force of a collision causes rapid acceleration and deceleration of the body. Even at low speeds, this force can strain ligaments, damage muscles, irritate joints, and disrupt spinal alignment.
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries following a car accident. It occurs when the head is forcefully whipped forward, backward, or sideways. This motion stresses the cervical spine and surrounding soft tissues.
Importantly, symptoms may not appear immediately. Inflammation and tissue damage can take days to surface, which is why early evaluation is critical.
Common Symptoms After a Car Accident
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches (especially at the base of the skull)
- Shoulder or upper back pain
- Low back pain
- Numbness or tingling in the arms or hands
- Dizziness or fatigue
- Reduced range of motion
Many of these symptoms stem from soft tissue injuries, joint dysfunction, or spinal misalignment — conditions that may not show on standard X-rays.
The Long-Term Risk of Untreated Whiplash
If not properly addressed, auto injuries can lead to chronic pain, early spinal degeneration, scar tissue formation, and long-term mobility restrictions. Studies have shown that a significant percentage of individuals who settle auto insurance claims continue to experience symptoms years later.
Prompt chiropractic evaluation can help identify subtle biomechanical damage before it becomes a chronic issue.
