Occupants often suffer more than the car. Whiplash is most commonly received from riding in a car that is struck from behind or that collides with another object.  When the head is suddenly jerked back and forth beyond its normal limits, the muscles and ligaments supporting the head and spine can be stretched or torn.  The soft, pulpy discs between spinal bones can bulge, tear, or rupture.  Vertebrae can be forced out of their normal position, reducing normal range of motion.   

The resulting instability of the spine and soft tissues can contribute to headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, pain in the shoulders, arms and hands, reduced ability to turn and bend, and low back problems.  As the body attempts to adapt, symptoms may not appear until weeks or even months later.  Too often people don't seek treatment following a car accident because they don't feel hurt.   Unfortunately, by the time more serious complications develop, some of the damage from the injury may have become permanente.

The chiropractic approach to these types of injuries is to use specific chiropractic adjustments to help normalize spinal function.   If caught early enough, inflammation can be reduced and scar tissue can often be minimized. 

Using Chiropractic and Physical Therapy together gives you the best possible chance for recovery.
