As a result, your body sustains significant forces that can cause damage to ligaments, muscles and joints. Even a five-mile per hour rear end collision causes the force of falling out of a second-story window. Anyone who has been involved in a car accident should seek chiropractic care as soon as possible. This includes all occupants of the car, including children.

Your LSM Chiropractic chiropractor can talk to your massage therapist, or recommend one, so that you have personalized care.
