Whiplash

Whiplash is a common neck injury that typically occurs after a sudden back and forth movement of the neck, such as those from a car accident. The rapid back and forth motion of the neck leads to strain on the muscles, ligaments, and tendons, potentially causing long lasting pain. Other associated disorders from whiplash injuries are: TMJ pain, shoulder pain, concussion and headaches. Common symptoms of whiplash include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and difficulty moving the neck. In some cases, whiplash can also cause long term discomfort if not properly tested.

Chiropractic care is an effective treatment option for whiplash recovery as it focuses on realigning the spine, reducing inflammation, and improving mobility. Chiropractors use techniques and methods such as spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and specific exercises to help alleviate pain, promote healing, and restore function to the neck. These treatments can also help prevent future injuries by improving posture and strengthening the surrounding muscles. At Absolute Chiropractic, Dr. Robinson and staff are committed to helping you permanently recover from whiplash pains to reach your wellness goals.
