Seek Chiropractic Care if You Have Whiplash From a Car Accident
If you've been injured in a car accident, you should seek treatment as soon as possible, even if you don't feel pain. Whiplash is a type of neck injury that can cause damage to the spine's bones, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and other neck tissues, and pain doesn’t always set in right away.
Many injuries incurred in automobile accidents, such as whiplash, might not manifest symptoms for days or weeks after the event. Consult Health for Life Chiropractic in Douglasville, GA, if you're experiencing any of the following symptoms after a car accident:
- Tingling or numbness in the arms
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Inability to properly move your neck
- Headaches
- Tenderness or pain in the shoulder and upper back
How Does a Chiropractor Treat Whiplash?
There are several ways chiropractors provide whiplash treatment. Our chiropractor, Dr. Edmond Hattaway, gently massages and stretches the muscles experiencing excessive tension. He gently helps the spine into proper alignment as part of a whiplash treatment.
Chiropractors also utilize the chiropractic adjustment technique to locate misplaced neck joints and realign them. This is accomplished by gradually moving the affected joint in the constrained direction.
