What is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a condition in which the neck is forcefully thrust forward and then backward in a “whipping motion” often due to car accidents. Whiplash can cause temporary immobility and pain in the neck. Symptoms can sometimes last for several months and have the potential of causing long term damage and discomfort.
Whiplash Injury Treatments
Whiplash, while not usually life-threatening, should be attended to soon after the incident to help ensure no further trauma to the tissue is sustained. When you arrive for your first appointment, our doctors will thoroughly assess your injury to determine the best course of therapy specific to your needs.
With chiropractic care, we offer the most efficient and effective options to relieve your whiplash pain with long-lasting effects. It may be recommended for you to undergo exercise therapy during sessions. The doctor will aide you in the proper execution of the exercises to ensure they are done properly so you can reduce the pain and increase mobility.
Whiplash Symptoms
Whiplash symptoms will usually present themselves within the first 24 hours following the trauma; however, it is possible that the symptoms may appear later. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you could be suffering from whiplash and should seek treatment as soon as possible.
