After a car accident, even a minor one, your body may have sustained trauma that you don't immediately feel. The shock of the impact can subtly affect the spine, muscles, and ligaments. At Centre Chiropratique St-Lazare, we regularly see patients who wait too long before seeking help — and regret not coming sooner.
Hidden Injuries After an Accident
Whiplash is the most common injury after a collision. Symptoms — neck pain, headaches, stiffness, dizziness — can appear 24 to 72 hours after the accident. Without treatment, these injuries can become chronic.
What a Chiropractor Does
Dr. Butz performs a complete spinal evaluation. Our clinic is equipped with an on-site digital radiology laboratory — if an X-ray is needed to assess the extent of your injuries, it can be done immediately during your visit, with no additional travel. This technology precisely identifies subluxations and areas of tension. Targeted chiropractic adjustments then restore mobility and help reduce inflammation naturally, without medication.
When to Consult?
Ideally within 72 hours of the accident, even if you don't feel pain. Early intervention significantly reduces the risk of chronic pain.
