Whiplash gets most of the attention after a collision, and for good reason, but the neck is rarely the only casualty. The same forces that snap the head forward and back can travel into the lower spine, the mid-back, the shoulders, and the hips. A Grover Beach patient who fixates only on their neck may leave other injuries unaddressed, where they can quietly turn into chronic pain.
This is why a car accident chiropractor evaluates the whole spine after a collision, not only the area that hurts most on day one. Dr. Bronstein looks for the secondary injuries that patients often miss, so nothing gets left to fester. Grover Beach patients get a complete assessment at Beacon Clinic, which is the point of seeing someone who treats crash injuries specifically.
