Whiplash

Whiplash typically occurs when your head is forcefully and quickly thrown backward and then forward. This motion can injure bones in the spine, disks between the bones, ligaments, muscles, nerves and other tissues of the neck. A whiplash injury may result from: Auto accidents, rear-end collisions are a major cause of whiplash; physical abuse or assault, whiplash can occur if you are punched or shaken; an injury seen in shaken baby syndrome; contact sports, rugby tackles and other sports-related collisions can sometimes cause whiplash.

​Most people with whiplash get better within a few weeks by following a treatment plan that includes pain medication and exercise. However, some people have chronic neck pain and other long-lasting complications.
 
Signs and symptoms of whiplash usually develop within days of the injury, and may include: neck pain and stiffness, worsening of pain with neck movement, loss of range of motion in the neck, headaches, most often starting at the base of the skull, tenderness or pain in the shoulder, upper back or arms, tingling or numbness in the arms, fatigue, dizziness. Sometimes people also have blurred vision, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), irritability, difficult to concentrate, memory problems, and depression, etc.
 
A visit to a chiropractor may be wise if you have any neck pain or other whiplash symptoms after a car accident, sports injury or other traumatic injury. It’s important to get prompt and accurate help and to rule out broken bones or any other damage that can cause or worsen the symptoms.
 
Since Whiplash can lead to further health problems, the Gonstead chiropractor’s first step is to determine the condition of the cervical spine, muscles and ligaments and ultimately, the purpose of Gonstead chiropractic care is to help the body’s potential to heal itself.

"The Beauty of chiropractic is the fact that it works with natural means. It puts nothing new into the body, nor does it take away any natural gland or organ"
