Whiplash is one of the most common injuries caused by car accidents, and can often be the hardest to treat due to people ignoring their symptoms.

Whiplash can occur from an impact at even 2.5 miles per hour. Whiplashed is considered a soft-tissue injury and is caused when the body is whipped beyond its normal limits. This can cause tears in your soft-tissue, but it can take a while for symptoms to show up.

COMMON WHIPLASH SYMPTOMS

  • Blurred vision
  • Neck pain and/or stiffness
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Shoulder pain
  • Reduced range of motion in the neck
  • Arm pain
  • Low back pain

HOW CHIROPRACTIC CARE HELPS WITH WHIPLASH

Without proper treatment, whiplash can cause you pain for years. Because it is a soft tissue injury it can cause scar tissue to develop which can affect your range of motion and ultimately lead to degeneration if left untreated.

Using a variety of drug-free chiropractic techniques, Wills Chiropractic can:

  • Relieve pain
  • Restore mobility
  • Support long-term healing

The longer you wait the more unseen damage there is and the longer it seems to take to recover. Get to our practice for an examination!

FREQUENTLY ASKED WHIPLASH QUESTIONS

Why do minor collisions cause so much trauma to the spine?

Without getting into the laws of physics, the simple explanation is that in a forceful automobile accident, the car itself absorbs much of the energy. In your more common parking lot “fender benders”, the energy is more directly transferred to the driver and passengers.

Can I prevent a whiplash injury?

Since car accidents are the major cause of whiplash injuries, defensive driving skills can help. Be sure your taillights and turn signals are working properly. Allow enough distance in front of you at stop lights and stop signs. When you slow down or stop, always check your rearview mirror to see if the driver behind you is paying attention.

Our Working Process

What to Expect

01

Relief Chiropractic Care

When patients come to us in pain, our top priority is to help relieve that pain so they can find comfort and feel better. While some patients feel relief in as little as one visit, it can take 2-3 visits per week for 4-12 weeks to achieve lasting real pain relief.

02

Corrective/Restorative Chiropractic Care

Muscles and tissues heal more completely during the corrective care phase, which prevents and reduces the risk of further injury. This phase typically requires 4-8 visits per month for 6-24 months depending on the severity of the issue.

03

Wellness Chiropractic Care

Once your body has completely healed, periodic adjustments become an important part of your healthcare regimen to avoid problems in the future. Based on your lifestyle and goals, we hope to see you 1-4 times per month.
