Symptoms of Whiplash

When you get whiplash often symptoms do not appear right away. Symptoms of whiplash are pain in your neck and the inability to move normally. This restricts your range of motion. Another symptom is a pain when moving your head back and forth or from side to side. You will have pain when you turn to look over your shoulders. It is possible that your hands and arms go to sleep or lose feeling as a result of a disc injury. You can also experience headaches that come and go on a regular basis after a car accident.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Whiplash At Your Vernon Hill Chiropractor

When you make an appointment, our chiropractors will take a complete medical history and will give you a medical exam that checks for a range of motion, reflexes, muscle function and unusual sensations. Often X-rays, Ultra-sound, Electric muscle stimulation, MRI's or CT scans are performed to look at the neck for injuries.  When our chiropractor has made a diagnosis, he will design a custom treatment program for your injury.

One of the therapies often used to treat whiplash is chiropractic care. We perform manipulations and adjustments on the neck. These manipulations and stretches relax the neck and reduce pain and heal damaged joints and discs.  Corrective exercises are often given to the patient to do at the office and at home that helps to strengthen and heal the neck. They are designed to treat whiplash and neck strain.

Massage therapy is another treatment for whiplash. Massage therapy helps relax muscles in the neck and reduces inflammation.  Often more than one therapy is used to treat whiplash.
