Whiplash Injury and Upper Cervical Chiropractic
What is a whiplash injury?
Whiplash occurs when a person’s head moves backward and suddenly forward with great force. This injury is most common following a rear-end auto collision.
However, it can also result from physical abuse, sports injuries, or even amusement park rides.
Some people with whiplash get better within a few months by following a Foundational Corrective care plan that includes upper cervical chiropractic care, corrective exercises, natural anti-inflammatories, and curve correction therapy.
However, some people have chronic neck pain and other long-lasting complications, including disc herniations and connective tissue damage.
Symptoms of whiplash injury?
Signs and symptoms of whiplash usually develop within days of the injury and may include:
· Neck pain and stiffness
· Worsening of pain with neck movement
· Loss of range of motion in the neck
· Headaches, most often starting at the base of the skull
· Tenderness or pain in the shoulder, upper back, or arms
