If you have been in a car accident, you will likely have some injuries. Whiplash is a common neck injury from car accidents that requires treatment. At Ponte Vedra Wellness Center, serving Nocatee and Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, our chiropractor treats whiplash and other injuries using natural techniques. Here are some commonly asked questions about whiplash.
Whiplash is an injury commonly associated with car accidents and sports injuries. If some type of force, like a rear-end car accident, causes your head to whip back and forth, you may experience whiplash. Whiplash injuries generally impact the neck, shoulders, and upper back, causing a lot of pain and discomfort.
After whiplash, you may not notice symptoms right away. In fact, many people do not experience any symptoms for days or weeks. It can take a long time for the muscles to feel the full impact of the injury.
Once the symptoms do set in, you may experience inflammation of the muscles, neck stiffness, and back pain. Your symptoms may also include headaches, blurry vision, jaw pain, and shoulder pain.
Since whiplash does not always show symptoms immediately, the condition can worsen if left untreated. This may lead to other health complications. However, our chiropractor can detect whiplash early and provide treatment before it worsens.
It is a good idea to see our chiropractor after you have experienced whiplash, no matter the cause of your pain. Our chiropractor will examine your spine to look for misalignment that could have happened as a result of your injury. A variety of treatment options are available. This includes adjustments, spinal decompression, massage therapy, and more.
If you are suffering from whiplash, we can help. At Ponte Vedra Wellness Center in Ponte Vedra Beach and Nocatee, FL, our chiropractor diagnoses and treats whiplash so you can live a pain-free life. Call us today to schedule an appointment.
