Car accidents, even minor ones, can cause whiplash and other injuries that aren’t always obvious right away. Here’s what to know about auto injury chiropractic care.
What is whiplash?
Whiplash occurs when the neck is forced to move quickly back and forth, often during a car accident, causing strain to the muscles and ligaments.
How soon should I see a chiropractor after an accident?
It’s best to be evaluated as soon as possible, even if you feel fine, since some auto injury symptoms take days to appear.
What are common symptoms of whiplash?
Neck stiffness, headaches, and reduced range of motion are common signs that should be evaluated by a professional.
What treatments help with whiplash recovery?
Chiropractic adjustments combined with physiotherapy and massage therapy are commonly used to support whiplash recovery.
