What is Whiplash?

Whiplash is a type of auto injury that occurs when the neck is forced forward and jerked backward. This violent jerking motion can cause long-term pain and immobility. Whiplash affects the muscles surrounding the neck as well as the musculoskeletal system and spine.

What Are Whiplash Symptoms?

Symptoms of whiplash include:

  • Neck pain
  • Back pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Headaches
  • Confusion
  • Changes in mood
  • Sore upper back muscles
  • Fatigue

Do I Need To See a Chiropractor For Whiplash?

Some mild cases of whiplash might go away on their own without treatment. However, you should visit a chiropractor if your symptoms are not going away on their own or if your pain is now becoming so severe it is impacting your life negatively.

How Can A Chiropractor Help Me?

When you visit our chiropractor, we will determine the best course of treatment for your whiplash. They will first conduct a full physical exam to determine the extent of your injuries. This includes imaging tests such as x-rays to take a deeper look at your musculoskeletal system. A chiropractor can also conduct chiropractic treatment to alleviate your whiplash and neck pain, including:

  • Spinal adjustments to realign the spine, which can be taken out of alignment after an accident
  • Spinal decompression to help alleviate herniated or bulging discs that can be aggravated after an accident
  • Massage therapy to the neck and surrounding muscles to reduce inflammation and muscle tension
  • Trigger point therapy to target specific sore areas of the neck and upper back
