Whiplash can occur due to an auto accident or a sports injury and result in severe discomfort. Not only that, but the pain can become chronic if it is left untreated. At Infinity Chiropractic and Rehab Center in Freehold, Hamilton, and Farmingdale, NJ, we provide various treatments to reduce your pain and improve your well-being. Before visiting us, we invite you to keep reading to learn about some symptoms of whiplash!
Understanding Whiplash
Whiplash happens when your head and neck are moved forward and backward during a car accident or personal injury. As a result, the unexpected movements strain the muscles and tendons in your neck, back, and shoulders. Whiplash can also lead to misalignments in your spine. While you may feel pain immediately, symptoms can also appear days or weeks after. You may try over-the-counter medication for relief, however, the pain usually tends to return. With chiropractic care, we can ease your symptoms and provide long-term relief.
Symptoms of Whiplash
You may experience several of these symptoms if you have whiplash. Some of these symptoms include:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Intense pain when you move your neck
- Headaches
- Limited range of motion
- Tenderness or pain in your upper back, shoulders, or arms
- Tingling or numbness in your arms
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Blurry vision
- Difficulty concentrating
Treatment for Whiplash
When you visit us, we will perform a physical exam to learn more about your condition. We will also check your range of motion and flexibility. Our chiropractors may also ask about your health and if you had any symptoms prior to the accident. We’ll talk to you about your lifestyle, work, and diet as well, which can help us when creating your treatment plan.
Once we determine the root cause of your pain, we can develop a personalized treatment plan for you. Our chiropractors may begin with manual manipulation. This treatment gently realigns your spine to reduce your discomfort. We might also combine this treatment with massage therapy to help you heal faster. In addition, we’ll teach you exercises to keep your muscles loose and relaxed and provide lifestyle advice to improve your health.
