Relieve pain and restore mobility with chiropractic care for whiplash injuries at Flintridge Family Chiropractic. Our chiropractic treatments address symptoms like neck pain, headaches, dizziness, shoulder discomfort, and reduced range of motion, helping you recover from the effects of whiplash and regain your active lifestyle.
What Are Whiplash Injuries?
Whiplash injuries occur when your neck is suddenly jerked forward and back, causing strain to the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. These are commonly associated with car accidents but can also result from sports or falls. Whiplash affects millions of people each year, particularly those involved in rear-end collisions. If you have a whiplash injury, you may experience neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms. It’s important to seek care early, as untreated whiplash can lead to long-term discomfort or mobility issues.
Common Symptoms of Whiplash Injuries:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches, often starting at the base of the skull
- Dizziness or blurred vision
- Shoulder and upper back pain
- Limited range of motion in the neck
- Fatigue or difficulty concentrating
- Tingling or numbness in the arms
How Does Chiropractic Care Help With Whiplash Injuries?
Chiropractic care for whiplash injuries focuses on realigning the spine and relieving tension in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments strained during sudden neck movements. When your spine is misaligned, it can exacerbate pain and limit your range of motion. By performing targeted adjustments, chiropractors help restore proper alignment, reduce nerve irritation, and promote natural healing, which helps alleviate neck pain and other symptoms.
In addition to spinal adjustments, chiropractic treatments may include soft tissue therapies, such as muscle stimulation and manual stretching, to improve blood flow and relieve muscle tension. This combination of therapies helps reduce inflammation and restores mobility, speeding up recovery. Chiropractic care can effectively alleviate pain and improve function for individuals suffering from whiplash injuries, offering a drug-free approach to long-term relief.
