Whiplash is one of the most common, if not the most common, injury sustained in auto accidents. It can also be one of the most devastating to an individual’s health when not properly treated by a professional chiropractor.

Whiplash occurs when the head or neck is uncontrollably moved back and forth in a rapid and violent manner. This can happen when a car is hit unexpectedly causing the driver’s head to move forward or backward involuntarily. This can easily cause soft tissue injuries in the neck, resulting in whiplash.

The symptoms of whiplash include limited neck mobility, tenderness, inability to freely move neck without pain, pain in the neck, back, or arms, and even headache pain. Some people experience dizziness as well.
