Press Release Summary = A high percentage of auto accidents result in whiplash. To
avoid short and long term pain, chiropractic care should be administered as soon as
possible.


Press Release Body = According to the United States Department of Transportation,
over the last decade there was an average of more than 5 million automobile
accidents every year, resulting in more than 2 million injuries annually.

Perhaps the most common auto injury is whiplash, which is caused by a sudden
movement of the head in any direction. The result is that muscles and ligaments
supporting the spine can become strained or torn. Some symptoms include neck pain or
stiffness, pain between shoulder blades, blurred vision, fatigue, headache, and
dizziness to name a few.

Often times auto accident victims are not aware of the damage caused by whiplash.
Symptoms sometimes do not appear immediately. They can take days to appear or may
not even surface for years according to Dr. Bruce Lubitz, D.C., an expert
chiropractor and owner of Community Holistic Health Clinic. Because of this, Dr.
Lubitz urges all accident victims to seek medical care whether they feel immediate
pain or not. In some cases early detection of whiplash can significantly decrease
long-term consequences. According to Dr. Lubitz, even after whiplash victims settle
insurance claims, almost half suffer with symptoms even two years later.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 800,000
people suffer from whiplash every year. Costs related to whiplash total more than $5
billion annually. Today most cases of automobile whiplash are covered by insurance
companies.

Often times, medical professionals like chiropractors will offer free consultations
to auto injury victims to see if whiplash or any other injuries need proper care.
Dr. Lubitz offers a free consultation at his practice, Community Holistic Health
Clinic. \"That way it makes it easier for victims to see if they need help.
Especially with whiplash cases, where many times victims don\'t even know they are
injured. I cant stress the importance of medical care after an accident. It can
really reduce long term pain, discomfort, and treatment,\" said Dr. Lubitz.

Community Holistic Health Clinic is located at 2504 South Rural Road, Tempe, AZ
85282. Free consultations can be scheduled by calling 480-968-7767.
