Whiplash Treatment FAQ

Whiplash is a common auto accident injury after a car crash. While whiplash is a comparatively mild condition, it can cause debilitating pain and discomfort if left untreated. Therefore, it's essential to see a chiropractor immediately after an auto accident for a proper assessment.

If you have recently been in an auto accident or believe you are suffering from whiplash, book an appointment with Holistic Touch Medical Center for pain relief. Treating whiplash can be challenging, but our chiropractors have the training and experience to naturally treat whiplash and prevent symptoms from returning. Here are a few common questions about whiplash and how we can help.

What is whiplash?

Whiplash occurs when a sudden collision causes the head to jolt back and forth uncontrollably, causing your neck's ligaments and tendons to extend beyond their range of motion.

What are the symptoms of whiplash?

Whiplash may not be a life-threatening condition but can cause a wide range of symptoms if left untreated. Common symptoms of whiplash include:

• Dizziness
• Blurry vision
• Restricted range of motion
• Neck pain and stiffness
• Painful sensation radiating from shoulders or arms
• Persistent headaches

What are the causes of whiplash?
