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.
