Whiplash FAQs

Auto accidents can cause all kinds of injuries, ranging from broken bones to soft tissue damage. Whiplash is a common musculoskeletal auto accident injury resulting from rear-end collisions. A visit to David Chiropractic, LLC, in Sebastian can determine if you’re suffering from whiplash after an auto crash. These answers to these FAQs from our Sebastian chiropractor provide more information about whiplash causes, symptoms, and treatment.

What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash is a painful neck injury that occurs when your head is forced forward and back uncontrollably due to a sudden impact. Rear-end auto collisions are a common cause of whiplash. A sudden fall, sports clash, or workplace accident can also result in whiplash neck injuries.

How Do I Know I Have Whiplash?

Whiplash produces a wide range of symptoms, including neck and shoulder pain, stiffness, headaches, vision problems, ringing in your ears, and sleeplessness. In some cases, people start experiencing symptoms right away. In other cases, symptoms may appear days or weeks after your auto accident injury. An evaluation from our chiropractor can confirm whether or not you have whiplash so you can receive treatment.

What Damage Can Whiplash Cause?

Depending on the extent of your injury, whiplash can cause extensive damage to neck muscles, tissues, and bones. You could suffer strained muscles and tissues, a herniated disc, or misalignment of cervical joints. The sooner you are evaluated by a chiropractor, the sooner you’ll know the extent of your injury.

What Happens If Whiplash Is Left Untreated?

Soft tissue injuries heal slowly. Delaying your treatment will only result in prolonged suffering from whiplash symptoms. Left untreated, whiplash could lead to long-term chronic pain.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help With Whiplash?

Chiropractic whiplash treatments focus on alleviating pain, realigning cervical bones and joints, and restoring neck flexibility. We use chiropractic techniques and natural therapies to relieve pain and expedite your healing. Our treatments are safe, non-invasive, and drug-free, making them a good choice for individuals who want to avoid pain pill side-effects and surgery.
