Whiplash and auto accidents
Most people are unaware of the severity of an auto accident. Many studies have shown that an accident with no or little property damage can still cause injury. Our Accident Doctor Group has seen that people are often misinformed about whiplash. We will explain what whiplash is, how it occurs, and the help our office can provide.
What happens to the body to cause whiplash?
Whiplash occurs when your body is jolted by an abrupt force. Whiplash is most common when you’re sitting still in your car, and another vehicle rear-ends it. This happens so quickly that your body does not have time to react. Your car will be pushed forward before you can even react. Your body is pushed into your seat during those moments. The head is secluded and heavy by the neck. Your reaction is delayed while your body continues to be pushed downward.
Your head then changes direction by moving forward as far as your seatbelt allows. Once your head has reached the maximum forward motion, it will be forced to move backwards as a reaction. Your neck is not restrained by the seatbelt, so your head is jolted forward and backward beyond its normal limits. This “whipping” action causes severe damage to the neck’s fragile structure.
Delayed symptoms
Many people are unaware that whiplash symptoms can appear several days after the accident (usually two to three). Whiplash is characterized by headaches, neck discomfort, and loss of motion. It can take several days for you to experience the symptoms because the inflammation caused by the small tears in your muscles and ligaments can build up over time and aggravate the condition. The muscles tighten to protect the area that is injured when the ligaments supporting your neck are damaged. The muscles tighten to protect the injured area.
After a few weeks, the injured tissue releases chemicals which attach Fibroblasts, tiny cells, to the wound area. These cells build up and form fibrin, a material that looks like a scar. Fibrin helps to repair and rebuild. It is important to maintain spinal alignment and normal ranges of motion during these few weeks. This will result in scar tissue that limits the mobility of the area. This can cause spinal degeneration.
Treatment
By performing detailed, precise chiropractic adjustments, along with therapy and other exercises to treat the injury, your body has a better chance of rebuilding itself properly. This will result in less chronic pain, stiffness and disc degeneration.
We can relieve your pain and help rebuild your spine structures. These treatments also reduce the likelihood of future injuries. If you think that you may have whiplash, call our accident doctors in Powder Springs to schedule an appointment.

FAQ
Do I need to consult an attorney first before seeing an accident doctor?
Absolutely no. We need to evaluate you and determine how badly you are hurt. Attorneys can wait, your medical care cannot. Seeing a doctor after an accident is the single most important thing you can do to help with your personal injury case.
What happens if I only have minor car damage?
Minor car damage does not mean you are not hurt. Studies have shown vehicles traveling less than 5 mph can cause injuries with little or no damage to cars involved. Make sure to see an accident doctor after a car crash to insure you don’t have any hidden injuries.
What if you need to see an orthopedic surgeon, a neurosurgeon, or MRI imaging?
You will be referred to an MRI or other imaging as soon as possible to assess the extent of your injury. To provide additional care, we work with local medical doctors such as neurologists and orthopedics.
Do I have to pay to see a Powder Springs accident doctor?
Absolutely not. We will bill auto insurance if tis available. This is done through pip; no fault and med pay. Georgia is not a no-fault state; however, many people move here from areas that do have no fault. The most common form of billing is through the attorney’s lien. Your accident doctor can explain how this works and if an attorney is beneficial in your case.
Common payment methods
- Med Pay or medical payments
- Pip or personal injury protection
- No fault
- Attorney lien
