Whiplash Injuries: Unpacking The Impact and Our Chiropractic Response
What is Whiplash?
Whiplash typically occurs during a car collision, suddenly causing the head to jerk back and forth beyond its normal limits.
This traumatic motion can stretch or tear the muscles and ligaments supporting the head and spine.
The Aftermath of Whiplash
Post-whiplash, the discs can tear or rupture and vertebrae forced out of their normal position, reducing the range of motion. Resultant scar tissue ensures an increased rate of spinal degeneration and eventually increasing health issues. The sooner the intervention, the better the outcome.
Symptoms of Whiplash
Symptoms may not appear until weeks or even months post-injury. They can include headaches, dizziness, and blurred vision. Pain in the shoulder, arms, and hands, reduced ability to turn and bend, and low back problems may also occur.
