WHIPLASH
SPINE & INJURY ASSOCIATES OFFERS WHIPLASH TREATMENT
Auto accident injury can result in whiplash, a distinct type of neck dysfunction that can cause a variety of troubling symptoms that can impact your daily life. Early treatment can be effective in relieving these symptoms and preventing ongoing problems. At Spine & Injury Associates, with offices in eight Central Florida locations, we can help with whiplash pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
Understanding Whiplash
Whiplash is a series of injuries that occurs from the rapid forward and backward motion that occurs during an impact such as a car crash. Whiplash can also result from a fall, an act of violence, or from an impact during sports activities. This condition may have symptoms that seem unrelated to a neck injury. Early treatment can help you to avoid increasing symptoms that interfere with normal life.
Symptoms of Whiplash
Individuals who have experienced a whiplash injury may have a variety of symptoms beyond simple neck pain. You may experience frequent headaches that seem to start at the base of the skull. Moving your head may make neck pain worse. You may experience numbness or tingling in your arms. Some people have dizziness or fatigue as a result of the injury. Blurred vision and problems with concentration can also occur. You may feel depressed or have trouble sleeping.
Chiropractic Techniques Can Help
Whiplash Symptoms
Manual adjustment of the upper spine can relieve pressure on muscles and nerves, as well as restore normal function of the vertebrae. Muscle relaxation and stimulation techniques can be effective for pain management. Corrective exercise can strengthen the muscles that support the head and upper spine. Massage therapy can improve range of motion and comfort. Ergonomic changes to your work and home environment can help to prevent re-injury. Your chiropractor will design a care plan for your individual needs.
