Why Soft-Tissue Crash Injuries Do Not Show on X-Rays

X-rays identify fractures well but reveal almost nothing about soft tissue. Strained ligaments and inflamed muscles are the typical injuries a collision produces, and none of them appear on a plain radiograph. Many accident patients leave an emergency room with normal results and a lingering sense that something is still wrong.

A car accident chiropractor fills that gap with a functional assessment. Dr. Bronstein evaluates how each spinal segment is moving and identifies restriction that no scan has confirmed. That hands-on evaluation is often the first time the actual injuries get identified.
