Safe, Natural Relief After a Car Accident
If you’ve recently been in a car crash, even a minor one, symptoms of whiplash or soft tissue injuries may appear hours, days—or even months—later. At True Life Wellness, our experienced team offers non-surgical, drug-free care tailored to your recovery after an auto accident.
⚠️ What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash occurs when your head is suddenly jerked forward and backward—commonly during a rear-end collision. This rapid movement strains the soft tissues in your neck, leading to pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility. More often than not, pain doesn’t show up for weeks or months. It’s important to get checked before symptoms arise!
🚨 Common Auto Injury Symptoms
- Neck stiffness and pain
- Headaches (especially at the base of the skull)
- Shoulder and upper back pain
- Numbness or tingling in arms
- Dizziness or fatigue
- Reduced range of motion
- Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
You don’t need to be in a major accident to suffer a serious injury—low-speed impacts can still cause damage. Studies show that any rear-end accident greater than 8.2 mph causes significant damage to the occupants of the vehicle.
