When you’re involved in a car crash, many things happen in an instant. Whiplash, for example, occurs faster than the blink of an eye, injuring your neck and soft tissues before you even realize you were hit. These injuries might seem minor at first, but they can lead to long-term problems if left untreated. Soft tissue injuries often develop into scar tissue, arthritis, and eventually spinal fusion. Fusion puts extra strain on the surrounding joints, wearing them down over time and starting a vicious cycle of pain and damage.

In real-life terms, this means your lifestyle changes dramatically. Activities like hiking, working, watching TV, or even simple tasks like standing or sitting become painful or impossible to do comfortably. If you ignore these injuries and don’t seek care, the result can be a lifetime of chronic pain, limited movement, and reliance on medication just to get through the day.
