Frequently Asked Questions about Whiplash with Our Chiropractor

Whiplash is an injury that can lead to a lot of pain and suffering when not adequately addressed. Learn more about this injury and how our team at Marsch Chiropractic Center can help below.

What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash is an injury when the neck is forced into a forward and backward motion like a whip. It’s a prevalent auto accident injury that occurs when the force of impact causes the head to whip around, which causes many tiny tears in the soft tissue.

Though whiplash is a typical auto accident injury, it can occur in various settings. For example, many athletes sustain whiplash while playing contact sports. Some people even support it during severe falls or rollercoaster rides. As the causes can be so versatile, it’s essential to know the symptoms, some of which include:

  • Stiffness and neck pain
  • Back and shoulder pain
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Dizziness and fatigue
  • Trouble sleeping or concentrating

Does Whiplash Go Away on Its Own?

Stiffness can decrease with rest and gentle stretching. However, you should always see if this will happen. Whiplash can lead to long-term issues, and the accident that led to the whiplash could have caused additional problems. Therefore, seeking chiropractic care is vital for optimal healing.

How Can Our Chiropractor Help with Whiplash?

Chiropractors employ several safe, natural methods for treating whiplash, beginning with addressing stiffness and inflammation. Then, after you can move your neck comfortably again, our chiropractor will use a customized plan that often includes adjustments, decompression, soft tissue therapy, and more, according to your specific needs.
