Whiplash

A common auto injury, whiplash, occurs when the head and neck are whipped from back to front, similar to how a whip is cracked. The majority of car accidents are rear-end collisions with whiplash being a common result. Whiplash can also occur from other kinds of trauma, accidents, abuse, and falls. Dr. Gwynne can assess the severity of the whiplash and create a plan specifically for your needs that includes specific, gentle chiropractic care and any necessary referrals to other specialists. 

Many people who have been involved in an accident don't even realize they have received a whiplash injury until weeks or months later when the problem becomes persistent and leads to other issues. It is imperative that you seek the care of a chiropractor if you have been in a motor vehicle accident or feel you may be suffering from whiplash. 

Whiplash 

​

Whiplash injuries can range from mild to very severe. Injuries tend to be more significant when your headrest is positioned too low. If the impact was quite severe or the headrest was low there is the possibility that bones are broken or tissue is damaged. It is highly recommended that you see a chiropractor and receive a thorough examination and x-rays. Even if the impact seemed mild, you may have whiplash if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

  • Neck pain

  • Shoulder, upper back, and arm pain

  • Headaches

  • Pain when turning the head

  • Inability to move or turn the head fully

  • Dizziness

  • Tiredness

  • Blurred vision

  • Difficulty sleeping

  • Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands, and fingers

  • Ringing in the ears

  • Depression

CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR CAR ACCIDENTS

 

Because the majority of whiplash incidents impact the spine and the surrounding nerves and tissues, chiropractic care is an excellent avenue for care. Chiropractic doctors are skilled in assessing the source of the pain associated with a whiplash injury and determining a plan for effective care. Chiropractic care is gentle and non-invasive. Through small adjustments, people find great relief from the pain associated with whiplash and are set on a road to full recovery.
