If you have been in an auto accident it is important to see a medical professional. Even if you feel that you are completely unharmed there are still injuries that you may have sustained. It is possible that these injuries may not show immediate symptoms but will become apparent months or even years after the accident. After an auto accident you should be checked out by a chiropractor because they understand soft tissue and soft tissue injuries.
Symptoms and injuries that can present themselves after auto accidents include:
