Whiplash; What Is It And Can A Chiropractor Help?

You're waiting at a red light in your car.  All of the sudden you hear screeching tires and the sound of another car colliding with yours.  A split second later you feel your car jolt forward from the impact.  You've just been rear ended.  Upon impact your seat harshly pushes you from behind.  However the impact to the head is delayed due to the neck isolating the head.  Next your body gets thrown forward into the seatbelt while your head starts moving backwards in the opposite direction.  Unrestrained by the seatbelt, your head moves uncontrollably back and forth.  You just became a victim of whiplash.

What happened in a split second can affect you for the next week, months, or even years.  Common symptoms of whiplash include but are not limited to;

Neck pain

Neck stiffness

Reduced range of motion in the neck

Headaches

Blurred vision

Dizziness

Even if you were in a minor car accident, you should be evaluated by a chiropractor.  The symptoms listed above do not always present themselves immediately or at all.  But damage to the spine can still exist!  Don't disregard your own injuries because little or no damage is done to your car.  Pain medicine won't heal damaged ligaments or tendons!  Muscle relaxers won't heal torn muscles! Specific chiropractic spinal adjustments are necessary to restore proper motion and ensure proper healing. 

If you suffered serious injuries it is recommended you go to a hospital and have your injuries documented.
