Auto collisions of all types and speeds can cause serious injuries. Rear-end (whiplash) injuries, side-pact collisions, head on collisions, and even low speed impacts with minimal damage can cause soft tissue injuries that if left untreated can become a serious chronic issue later on down the road. Dr. Stadnik specializes in Spinal Biomechanics and Whiplash Traumatology. We take a detailed history of how the injury occurred, the mechanics of the collision and how that impacted your body. We determine what specific tests that are needed to properly diagnose your condition. Other than your neck and back, it is common to injure: shoulders, wrists and elbows due to their position during the collision and seat belt position. It is common to injure the: ankle, knee, and hip due to contact with the dashboard or even pressure on brake when the collision occurs.
