We Are Whiplash Experts

Car accident victims often suffer severe pain, which negatively affects their work life and day to day living. If left untreated or an ineffective treatment is undertaken, symptoms can get worse and the recovery process can take much longer. One of the most common auto accident injuries is whiplash. This is because it only takes a 2.5 mile-per-hour change in speed to injure the neck, so even the most minor auto accident can result in whiplash.

The problem with whiplash from a car accident is that in many circumstances you will not notice any pain at first. But once the micro-tears from the whiplash start to swell, you will start to experience some or all of the following symptoms:

 

  • Severe, frequent headaches

  • Blurred vision

  • Neck pain, swelling, stiffness or spasms

  • Shoulder, arm and/or low back pain

  • Numbness in hands or legs

  • Dizziness

  • Jaw tightness

  • Trouble concentrating

  • Reduced range of motion in the neck

  • Ringing in ears

  • Vision problems

 

Since it may take time for you to begin experiencing symptoms, it’s important to visit an experienced chiropractor specializing in soft tissue injuries for an evaluation. It’s best to rule out any injury or identify it and start treatment immediately to ensure a fast recovery!
