Most people have heard of whiplash. When you're in a car accident, the spine can be "whipped" back and forth, causing trauma and injury to the muscles surrounding it and misalignment to the spine.  No matter how minor or severe the accident you are in, you should have your spine checked. Getting treatment within 72 hours of an accident or injury will help prevent the muscles from forming muscle memory.
