Whiplash FAQs

If you have pain due to whiplash, the discomfort can reduce your range of motion and significantly affect your quality of life. At Infinity Chiropractic and Rehab Center in Hamilton, Farmingdale, and Freehold, NJ, we provide various treatments to reduce your symptoms and help you heal fully. Before visiting us, take a look at some frequently asked questions regarding whiplash below:

What is whiplash?

Whiplash occurs when your head and neck are forcefully moved backward and forward, typically during an auto accident. This movement can stretch the soft tissues in the neck and back. Not only that, but it can also cause the vertebrae in the neck and back to become misaligned. As a result, you may experience severe pain and headaches.

What are the symptoms of whiplash?

Whiplash can cause a variety of symptoms. Some of these symptoms include the following:

• Stiff neck
• Neck pain and upper back pain
• Blurry vision
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Fatigue

How can a chiropractor help with whiplash?

When you visit us, we will speak with you about your symptoms and perform a thorough evaluation to learn more about your condition. After, our chiropractors will develop an individualized treatment plan for you. Your care plan may include a spinal adjustment, which can properly align your spine and take pressure off of the soft tissues. We may also combine this treatment with a gentle massage, as it can help blood flow to the affected area and reduce pain.

For any muscle pains you may have, our chiropractors may utilize electrical stimulation to help the muscles relax and speed up the healing process. In addition, we might suggest stretching exercises that you can do at home between appointments.
