What is whiplash?

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

Whiplash is one of the most frequently reported injuries following an auto accident. It occurs when the neck experiences a forceful and rapid back-and-forth motion, similar to the cracking of a whip. This sudden movement can strain or damage the muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues in the neck.

When Does Whiplash Pain Begin?

Symptoms of whiplash can appear immediately after an accident or take days to weeks to develop. Many individuals experience anxiety and nervousness following an automobile accident, making immediate care for injuries essential to promote recovery and prevent long-term complications.

Common Symptoms of Whiplash

• Neck Pain and Stiffness: Often worsens with movement.
• Reduced Range of Motion: Difficulty moving the neck freely.
• Headaches: Commonly originating at the base of the skull.
• Tenderness: In the neck, throat, upper back, arms, lower back, or legs.
• Tingling or Numbness: Typically felt in the arms.
• Fatigue and Dizziness: Persistent tiredness and lightheadedness.
• Blurred Vision
• Ringing in the Ears (Tinnitus)
• Difficulty Sleeping: Trouble falling or staying asleep due to pain or discomfort.
• Memory Problems and Cognitive Issues: Such as brain fog or forgetfulness.
• Emotional Changes: Depression, irritability, or anxiety.

Why Immediate Care is Vital
​
Timely diagnosis and treatment can help alleviate pain, restore mobility, and prevent chronic issues associated with whiplash. A comprehensive care plan may include chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy, and personalized rehabilitation exercises to address the root cause of the discomfort and support your recovery.

If you’ve been involved in an auto accident and suspect whiplash, don’t delay seeking professional care. Prompt attention can make all the difference in achieving a full recovery and avoiding long-term complications.
