Injuries to the neck caused by the sudden movement of the
head, backward, forward or sideways is referred to as
whiplash. Whiplash can cause the muscles and
ligaments supporting the spine and head to be
overstretched or torn, and is usually the result of a car
being struck from behind or colliding with another object. The
symptoms resulting from whiplash can be headaches,
dizziness, blurred vision, pain in the shoulder, arms and
hands, reduced ability to turn and bend, and even low back
problems. These symptoms, however, may not appear until weeks
or months later!
A chiropractic doctor can use specific adjustments to restore
proper motion and position to the spinal bones, and to help
improve spinal function.
Be sure to consult your Doctor of Chiropractic before enduring
constant headaches, depending upon addictive pain medication
or submitting to surgery!
