Whiplash
Whiplash is a relatively common injury that occurs to a person's neck following a sudden acceleration-deceleration force that causes unrestrained, rapid forward and backward movement of the head and neck, most commonly from motor vehicle accidents, and is experienced by most people at some point in their lives. This can then cause what is known as whiplash associated disorders, such as dizziness, blurred vision, headaches and pain in the shoulders, backs, arms and hands. Often whiplash will cause a loss of the normal forward cervical curve, which can be helped with a number of chiropractic adjustments. We are able to give a course of treatment, which will reduce the pain from the injury and will restore normal movement back to the area. In addition to these treatments, we will give guidance for a number of therapeutic exercises to help restore normal motion in your spine and reduce whiplash symptoms.
