A whiplash injury is an injury that occurs when your head is thrust back and then forward beyond its normal range of motion. The ligaments and muscles supporting the spine are stretched or even torn, weakening the structural integrity of the vertebral column. Some Symptoms of a Whiplash Injury include: * Neck Pain *Face Pain *Daily Headaches *Visual Symptoms *Low Back Pain *Travel Anxiety *Shoulder/Arm Pain *Mid-Back Pain *Dizziness *Nausea A Whiplash injury can be caused by an auto accident, a fall or a sports injury.

Prolonging treatment only prolongs your pain! *Ice for first 72 hours after accident *Physiotherapy *Mobilization *Stretching *Chiropractic Adjustments *Nutrition *Active Daily Exercises An untreated Whiplash injury may lead to Osteoarthritis of the neck and/or Degenerative Disc Disease many years after the injury has occurred. The longer the injury goes untreated the worse the damage may become. If you know you have experienced a Whiplash injury, make an appointment to see your Doctor of Chiropractic as soon as possible.
