Pain & Conditions
Whiplash
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden, forceful back-and-forth movement of the head — most commonly from rear-end auto collisions. It damages the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the cervical spine. Symptoms may not appear for hours or even days after the accident, which is why prompt evaluation is critical. Without treatment, whiplash can lead to chronic neck pain, headaches, and long-term mobility issues.
Symptoms You May Experience
- Neck pain and stiffness that worsens with movement
- Headaches, typically starting at the base of the skull
- Loss of range of motion in the neck
- Pain or tenderness in the shoulders and upper back
- Tingling or numbness in the arms
- Dizziness and fatigue
- Blurred vision or ringing in the ears
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering
- Jaw pain or TMJ discomfort
Why Early Treatment Matters
- Symptoms often worsen over days and weeks if left untreated
- Scar tissue can form in damaged muscles, limiting mobility
- Chronic pain patterns can develop from untreated soft tissue injuries
- Research shows early chiropractic intervention improves healing
Treatment Methods
- Gentle cervical adjustments to restore alignment
- Soft tissue therapy and rehabilitation
- Electrical muscle stimulation for pain relief
