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
