WHIPLASH
A whiplash injury refers to a whip-like action involving forceful movement of the head and neck and can occur during a motor vehicle accident, high impact sports, slip or fall, and other traumas. Effects of a whiplash injury can show up several weeks after the impact rather than immediately.
Whiplash not only injures the neck tissue but can also lead to bone injuries, herniated discs, misalignment of the spine, pulled muscles and ligaments, and nerve damage. You can experience mild to severe symptoms.
Neglecting whiplash symptoms could lead to more severe problems, and seeking timely care is crucial to recovery. It is important to get your spine checked out as soon as possible for a faster recovery and to help prevent more serious, long-term injuries. If you have been experiencing effects from whiplash injuries, call us at Vitalpoint Chiropractic to schedule an examination to discover any underlying issues.
