Whiplash: Understanding and Overcoming This Common Injury

Whiplash is a common injury that occurs when the neck is suddenly and forcefully jerked back and forth. This can happen during a car accident, sports injury, or even a slip and fall. While often overlooked, whiplash can have significant and lasting effects on your health and well-being.

Symptoms of Whiplash:

  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Blurred vision
  • Fatigue
  • Shoulder pain
  • Jaw pain
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Irritability

The Importance of Early Intervention:

Left untreated, whiplash can lead to chronic pain, headaches, and even long-term disability. Early intervention with a qualified chiropractor can significantly improve recovery outcomes.
