What is Whiplash?
Medically, whiplash is defined as a neck trauma caused by an automobile accident. Whiplash is most often caused by being "rear-ended" in an accident. This will cause the head to violently move forwards and backwards, resulting in whiplash.
How is it diagnosed?
The P Chiropractic DC team will examine your spine to determine the exact location of the whiplash injury. The areas that are injured may show pain, a loss of range of motion, muscle spasms and weakness. In the acute phase of the condition, you will feel discomfort when turning your head and may experience headaches. The chiropractor will check your neck and spine for tightness and tender spots.
Whiplash is characterized by headaches and neck pain. This is understandable since the neck was directly injured in a rear-end accident. However, many auto accident patients experience a wider range of symptoms. Dizziness, arm pain, shoulder and back pain are all very common symptoms.
