Understanding Whiplash Injury

Whiplash is a term given to the rapid backward and forth movement that occurs during an impact. The action is much like the cracking of a whip. In the process of this movement, muscles, tendons, and nerves can become damaged, leading to neck problems and a variety of secondary symptoms. The symptoms can worsen if left untreated.

Symptoms of Whiplash

The most common symptoms include neck pain, stiffness, poor range of motion, headaches, tenderness in the shoulders or upper back, numbness in the arms or dizziness. However, some individuals may also experience fatigue, blurring of vision, ringing in the ears, irritability, memory problems and depression. Some people have impaired sleep and difficulty with concentration. If you are older, have had a previous whiplash injury or have other back or neck problems, you are at greater risk of developing whiplash after an impact.

Chiropractic Treatment Can Relieve Whiplash Neck Pain and Stiffness

Chiropractic care offers gentle, yet effective relief from whiplash pain, stiffness, and related problems. Your Sacramento chiropractor can provide manual adjustment to re-align structures in the spine, which can relieve pressure on muscles and nerves. Corrective exercises help to strengthen supporting muscles for improved mobility and range of motion. Massage therapy improves circulation, bringing natural healing chemicals to injured tissue. These and other methods are used to relieve neck pain and improve upper spinal function. Your chiropractor can also advise on lifestyle changes to prevent further injury to the delicate neck structures.
