Motor Vehicle Accidents
Whiplash – a soft tissue injury to the neck-is also called neck sprain or neck strain. It is characterized by a collection of symptoms that occur following damage to the neck, usually because of sudden snapping back and forth (rapid flexion and extension) of the head and neck. The disorder commonly includes injury to intervertebral joints, discs, and ligaments, cervical muscles, and nerve
roots.
Symptoms such as neck pain may be present directly after the injury or may be delayed for several days or weeks. In addition to neck pain, other symptoms may include neck stiffness, injuries to the muscles and ligaments (myofascial injuries), headache, dizziness, abnormal sensations such as burning or prickling (paresthesias), or shoulder or back pain. Some people may also experience cognitive, somatic, or psychological conditions such as memory loss, concentration impairment, nervousness/irritability, sleep disturbances, fatigue, or depression.
Unfortunately, most people who have been in motor vehicle accidents do not receive Chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic Biophysics is the only type of chiropractic proven to not only help to alleviate pain from whiplash injuries, but also to improve or in some cases restore normal spinal structure.
