Our chiropractor in Palm Beach Gardens will reduce inflammation and pain, as well as, help speed up recovery. If you are suffering from whiplash after a car accident, please call our office today to schedule an appointment.
Symptoms of Whiplash
Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs as a result of the impact from a car accident, a sports injury, a fall, or other trauma. Most often it happens when your car is rear-ended by another driver. Whiplash can occur at very low speeds, even as low as five mph. The speed at which the injury occurs is not a direct indicator of how bad it is. With a whiplash injury, you might experience more than neck pain, possibly including the following symptoms:
- Neck pain
- Decreased range of motion
- Neck tightness
- Tenderness in neck and back
- Shoulder pain
- Back pain
- Arm pain
- Headache
- Blurred vision
- Unable to turn head
- Numbness in arms and hands
- And more
These symptoms can be very mild to severe and debilitating. The sharp movement that happens can cause damage to the neck and back muscles, the ligaments, and the connective tissues. The symptoms don’t always manifest immediately following the injury. The delay leads some patients to assume the symptoms, and the whiplash are unrelated. Ignoring theses problems can result in chronic pain and discomfort. Suffering through the day in pain will negatively impact every facet of your life. The good news is, we can help.
If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms, contact us today for a full evaluation.
