If you have been in a car accident in Brentwood, the most important thing you can do in the hours and days that follow is get evaluated by a chiropractor — even if you feel okay. Soft tissue injuries from auto accidents often do not produce symptoms immediately. By the time the pain sets in, inflammation has already taken hold and the healing process is behind.

Why Whiplash Is Often Worse Than It Feels

Whiplash occurs when the head is suddenly thrown forward and snapped back — creating micro-tears in soft tissue, misaligning vertebrae, and compressing nerves in the cervical spine. The adrenaline of a crash masks the pain initially. But within 24-72 hours, stiffness, headaches, and radiating pain begin to emerge. Without proper treatment, these injuries can become chronic conditions that last months or years.
