Seatbelts have saved more than 250,000 lives since 1975, according to the CDC. In fact, the use of seatbelts is the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself from an auto accident injury or death, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Airbags are designed to be used along with seatbelts to further prevent injury; NHTSA says. We should always wear our seatbelts when in the car. Sometimes seat belt use or air-bag deployment does cause injuries, although these injuries are generally less serious than would have been sustained without the restraints. When an injury happens, Back on Track Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Birmingham can help your body heal.
Common injuries that individuals have sustained in crashes that are due to seat belts include:

Chiropractic treatment can enable the body to begin the healing process more quickly and reduce the possibility of longer-term problems from the auto accident injury.
