Many people don’t realize how severe an auto accident can be. However, much research shows that the aftermath of an automobile accident can leave your body in tremendously bad shape that many think is impossible to recover from. As a Fremont Chiropractor, I have noticed that many people are misinformed when it comes to whiplash. I hope this article will help better explain whiplash, why it happens, and how Fremont Auto Accident Injury Chiropractic Center can help.
I want to address a very common question: what happens to your body that causes a whiplash injury to occur? Whiplash can happen whenever your body suffers from an abrupt jolt. Most whiplash injuries happen when you are sitting in a fixed position in your car and are rear-ended by another car. Because this happens so fast, your body doesn’t have time to react before your car is pushed forward. During those moments of impact, your body gets pushed down into your seat. Your head, which is heavy and secluded by your neck, is delayed in reaction, while your body is continually pushed down. Quickly after, your head changes directions by traveling forward to the limit your seatbelt will allow. Finally, once your head reaches the limit traveling forward, it is forced backwards in reaction. Because your neck is not restricted by your seatbelt, your head is jolted back and forth beyond its standard limits. When this “whipping" action occurs, it causes much damage to the already extremely fragile neck structure.
What a lot of people don’t realize is that it can take multiple days (usually around two or three) before any whiplash symptoms occur. Common whiplash symptoms include headaches, neck pain, and loss of motion. The reason it can take a few days to feel the symptoms is because it can take time for the inflammation from the tiny tears in the injured ligaments and muscles to build up and further aggravate you. When the delicate ligaments that support your neck are wounded, the muscles react by tightening to guard the injured area. This protects the damaged area from further injury.
A few weeks following this injury, the distressed tissue releases chemicals that attach little cells to the wounded area, called Fibroblasts. They build up, creating a scar-like material called fibrin. Fibrin then helps mend and re-build the injury. During these few weeks of repair, it is extremely important to maintain normal ranges of motion, as well as spinal alignment. If this is not done properly, the scar tissue will end up limiting the future mobility of the injured area. This can lead to spinal degeneration.
The good news is that by preforming precise, detailed chiropractic adjustments by a licensed Chiropractor from Fremont Auto Accident Injury Chiropractic Center, along with treating the injury with therapy and different exercises, your body will have a much better chance of rebuilding properly. This means less chronic pain, stiffness, disc degeneration, and pinched nerves. We can help alleviate your pain and rebuild your spinal structures. These treatment options also severely reduce future injuries from occurring.

Chiropractic is the largest alternative health profession in North America and the third largest health-care profession in the United States. Your muscles and nerves work together to keep you healthy. When neuromuscular block impedes the flow of nerve communication, the result is tension. A skilled chiropractor finds the blocks in your nervous system, therefore restoring your health and longevity.
Have you ever felt stress that impedes how you function on a daily basis? A skilled chiropractor is able to relieve that tension and help restore relaxation and balance to your body. Relaxation feels inherently good to your body, doesn’t it?
When you experience pain and tension, we can give you relief
A visual and kinesthetic example of this block is when a wire is connected to a light bulb. If the block is severe enough, the light flickers. What do you think happens when a nerve is blocked by a vertebrae? Your blood vessels are guided by the nerve flow and your organs and muscles can’t get the essential energy needed to function during the day.
It is our hope that you have a better understanding of why a healthy nervous system is key to health and relaxation. At Fremont Auto Accident Injury Chiropractic Center we can give you the individual pieces to your health. We are skilled finding the key to your nervous system stress and relieving that tension with skilled treatment.

Yes, Chiropractic care has a proven track record in providing care for all ages, infants and the elderly included. The reason being, throughout your life, your health is determined by how well your internal systems, organs, blood vessels etc. are functioning. Healthy nerves communicate to organs and blood vessels by electrical and chemical charges. Now you can see why the analogy of the light bulb and free flowing energy is appropriate. If electrical impulses are decreased, the light dwindles and eventually goes out. When nerves are blocked, some of the symptoms may be pain, tight muscles, fatigue and stressful tension. Chiropractic is a tried and proven treatment for subluxation (when a bone is out of alignment) which may create the previously mentioned conditions. Treating subluxations for long lasting relief is what a skilled chiropractor aims to do.

I'm a new patient at Warm Spring Chiropractic, and I love it! After getting into a car accident last week, I have been experiencing really bad back, neck, and hip pain - much worse than usual. As soon as I got the okay from my auto insurance, I started searching on Yelp for chiropractors. I had been to two different chiropractors before; the first one was good, but I believe is no longer in practice; the second chiropractor I went to, didn't do anything for me at all.
When I first called the office here, Dr. Paul spoke with me, and I was already feeling comfortable due to his friendliness on the phone. On my first visit here last week, I really liked the atmosphere of the office. It has a very homey feeling, and the doctors and massage therapists are all so friendly.
On my first visit, Paul gave me a very comprehensive exam, took my x ray, and had one of the massage therapists massage me. I really liked the fact that Paul was so friendly, genuine, and really took the time to talk to me, understand my problems, and explain everything to me.
I went back for my second visit today and met Dr. Lau, who is also very wonderful. Overall, I am very satisfied with finding this chiropractic office. I feel very comfortable here, and definitely feel like a valued patient, and just not another person paying for services.
Fremont, CA
I had low back pain and neck pain and shoulder tension when I first came. I am a martial arts teacher. The pain prevented me from showing my martial arts skills to my students. I could not sleep at night because of the pain in the low back. It made it very hard to practice Wu Shu for competition.
I saw two medical doctors, they gave me pain-killers and told me there's nothing he could do for me but he could not tell me what was wrong. The pain killers did not do much for me. I also saw two other chiropractors who referred me to physical therapists. However, physical therapy didn't cure my injury.
I started coming to Dr. Paul Iattoni in January 2000. I feel that what Dr. Paul Iattoni has done helped me tremendously. I am 85% improved so far and still improving. I have better range of motion in my low back. I sleep better now. I practice Wu Shu better. I am able to teach my students again. The deep pressure point massage that Dr. Paul Iattoni did helped me the most.
I like their service because the treatment protocol is made personally for me. They treated me with individual atttention. They paid attention to my condition and devise a treatment plan specific for me. I like their policy since they are flexible in their scheduling as well as in fees.
I am a continual patient here in Warm Springs Chiropractic. I have referred many people to Dr. Paul Iattoni and will continue to do so since I think their service is very good and is unique compared to other chiropractic clinics. I believe their service will benefit many other people as well.
Sometimes we forget to say thank-you so this is my thanks to both you and Dr. Paul Iattoni. You may remember that initially I was skeptical that you type of chiropractic care would help me. After a near-fatal car accident in 1978, I was in chronic back pain, and couldn't stand or sit erectly, and attempts by other types of chiropractic care were not helpful. In addition, I have fibromyalgia, so when I found you, I had very little enery or stamina and was in chronic pain.
After seeing you a few times, my posture began to change and I found that I could sit and stand erectly. The pain in my back has decreased and my energy and stamina are greatly improved. Even if I have no back problems, I will continue under your care because it has helped the fibromyalgia symptoms: I am not exhausted everyday, all day; I don't seem to have as much pain all over my body as before, and I am experiencing more days, not just minutes or an hour or se, when I have more stamina and endurance…Imagine my delight when I can shop without being in severe pain, and still have energy when I get home vs. before treatment, I could barely shop. And when I did I was home and immediately in bed totally exhausted and in severe pain. Hurrah!
I am not "cured", but for those who suffer from fibromyalgia, I ardently believe in and recommended this deep muscle work along with chiropractic adjustments as a means of improving their health. I would like others to know that I am a real person, not "paid advertisement", so for those who are interested I am willing to talk with them either personally or on the phone.
