Understanding Whiplash

Whiplash is caused by the sudden back-and-forth movement of the head during an auto accident, fall, or contact sport. The sudden movement of the head causes trauma to the neck, shoulders, and back. While you may experience pain neck pain immediately, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible even if you have no noticeable symptoms.

Symptoms of Whiplash

Whiplash can cause symptoms right away or they may appear days or weeks later. In addition to neck pain, the injury can lead to dizziness, stiffness, reduced mobility in the neck, shoulders, and back, and headaches. With the right care, our chiropractors can help ease your symptoms and prevent further complications.

Treatment for Whiplash

Chiropractic treatment for whiplash begins with an assessment and any necessary testing that will let us learn more about your condition. After, our chiropractors will most likely utilize a spinal adjustment to correct any misalignments. Along with that, we may provide a therapeutic massage to ease muscle tension and inflammation in your neck and shoulders. In addition, your treatment plan may include cold laser therapy or ultrasound therapy, which can help reduce inflammation and swelling, and help the body heal at the cellular level.
