Just about 3 million people are injured in car crashes every year.

And, if you have to commute to work every day, I bet you aren't surprised because you probably feel like you get stuck behind a car accident just about every day.

Most of the time, people can just pull off to the side of the road and wait for the police to arrive. Their injuries are no worse than a stubbed toe or a sprained ankle you'd get playing basketball.

They heal relatively quickly and don't require much medical intervention if they require any at all.

But other accidents can be much worse, even life-threatening. These are the accidents that leave you stranded on the interstate for hours trying to get to or from work.

The injuries people sustain in car accidents vary depending on numerous factors, including seat belt use, area of impact, speed, and whether or not the airbags deployed upon impact.

The injuries can also be broken down into two broad categories; impact injuries and penetrating injuries.

Impact injuries are caused when part of a person's body is slammed against the interior of the car upon impact.

Penetrating injuries are typically cuts and scrapes caused by glass or loose objects flying around inside of the car.

Chiropractic care, while infamous for treating back pain, can help with many other symptoms with the same effectiveness. 

Unfortunately, most people don't realize their chiropractor can do much more for them than crack their back.

In the article below, we discuss several tell-tale signs that it's time for you to see your chiropractor.

If you're like most people, you spend a lot of time at work stuck behind a desk.

However, when you spend hours on end, day after day, sitting in the same spot and mostly sedentary, you're putting yourself at risk of chronic pain, musculoskeletal disorders, and injuries, which can impact your long-term health.

So, when you're at work, you need to be sure to keep proper posture and do as many things as possible to prevent yourself from being completely sedentary.

And, if you don't pay attention, poor posture can quickly become second nature.

Fortunately, if you do pay attention, the main factors affecting posture and ergonomics are completely within your ability to control, and they're not difficult to change.
