What is whiplash?

Whiplash is most commonly associated with rear-end car collisions in which the heads of the people in the front car suddenly snap back and forth from the impact. The medical term for whiplash is cervical acceleration/deceleration (CAD) trauma or syndrome, which describes the rapid movements that can injure the vertebrae of the neck, as well as the muscles and ligaments that support them.

Who suffers from whiplash?

Anyone can be subjected to whiplash, even in a low-force car crash at speeds as low as 5 mph! But injuries associated with whiplash can also result from other mishaps in which the head is pushed or jerked beyond its normal range of motion. Whiplash most commonly causes serious and lingering neck pain, but other symptoms also include headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears, nausea and numbness. More severe whiplash can lead to bruising of the brain or back pain.

How can chiropractic treat whiplash?

The physical and psychological damage of whiplash can become chronic, eroding a victim’s quality of life. Chiropractic techniques are effective in relieving neck pain and other debilitating effects of whiplash, as they:

  • Restore movement lost after the accident
  • Overcome muscle weakness and enhance muscle tone
  • Speed recovery
  • Diminish chronic symptoms that can persist or recur over many years

Chiropractic can significantly reduce patients’ distress and allow them to return to their normal activities as soon as possible. Repeated and effective chiropractic adjustments have helped thousands of patients recover, restoring their quality of life.
