I can’t tell you how many times we've seen the difference a seat belt makes.
Two patients. Same kind of accident. One wore their seat belt... some soreness, maybe whiplash. The other didn’t... fractured ribs, spinal misalignment, long recovery ahead.
It’s that serious.
As an injury chiropractor who treats vehicle accident injuries every single day, I’ll say it as clearly as I can: your seat belt isn’t optional. It’s the difference between walking away with minor injuries and months (or years) of rehab.
Seat belts save lives. No question about it.
But here’s what most people don’t realize: even with a seat belt, car accidents can leave behind hidden injuries that don’t always show symptoms right away — especially in the neck and spine.
If you’ve been in an accident, don’t wait for pain to show up before getting checked. Early evaluation and care can make all the difference in your recovery.
And if you don't already, take the extra second to click in. Your spine, and your future self, will thank you. 🙌
