Car Accidents in Maple Grove
Sometimes it’s hard to know if you’ve been injured in a car accident, especially if it’s a smaller one. There’s so much adrenaline and shock involved in the moment that many people don’t even feel pain at all until a few hours or even days later. Car accidents can cause whiplash, headaches, back and neck pain, and other conditions that can become chronic over time if left untreated by chiropractic care.
Car accidents jar the body so thoroughly that the vertebrae in the spine come out of alignment with the rest of the body. This can happen during normal activities as well such as sitting at your desk at work or exercising, but car accidents cause much more sudden, severe subluxations due to the forceful impact of the accident. Car accident subluxations cause muscle and tendon tension, pinched nerves, and pain throughout the rest of the body. Your body cannot function properly until the spine moved back into proper alignment.
This is where quality chiropractic care comes in. By restoring your spine to the proper position, I give your muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves space to heal the return to their proper function. By using a chiropractic adjustment, I gently move the spine back into place, allowing the body to do what it does best: heal.

Whiplash in Maple Grove
Whiplash is probably the most common injury from car accidents, especially rear-end accidents. Whiplash can be caused by falls as well, but it’s most commonly an effect of accidents. The impact of the accident causes the head and neck to whip back and forth, causing microtears in the muscle, ligament, and tendons in the neck. There microtears cause headaches, and pain in the shoulders, arms, and neck.
It’s vital that these microtears heal properly. By themselves, these tears are not major injuries. Yet if they’re left untreated, they can develop into chronic pain and arthritis later in life as they heal into the wrong positions.
That’s where chiropractic care comes in. Here at Scherping Chiropractic in Maple Grove, I specialize in restoring the correct motion and position of the neck. Chiropractic adjustments restore the spine’s alignment and allow the microtears to heal properly. Car accident research has proven that chiropractic care is the most effective form of treatment to restore motion and allowing healing of these microtears in the neck.
