Auto Accidents

Auto collisions, also known as a Motor Vehicle Collsion (MVA), are one of the most common causes of neck and back injury resulting from whiplash type motions on impact. When one vehicle impacts another, the forward momentum of your body is stopped by a seat belt, airbag, or potentially something else and can cause force and impact to your neck and low back among other areas. Auto injuries to the neck and back can often create serious pain and discomfort, challenging simple movements and enjoyment in life.

The jarring experience of a car accident typically causes strain to the ligaments, muscles, and joints that bear the brunt of impact. There are often multiple neck and back injuries sustained in an MVC that can benefit greatly from musculoskeletal care, the exact type we provide here at Momentum.
