7 Signs You Have Whiplash and Need Chiropractic Car Accident Treatment

If you have whiplash, you could experience one or more of the following seven symptoms

  • Neck pain
  • Neck stiffness
  • Headaches that start at the base of the skull
  • Tender shoulder muscles
  • Numbness or tingling in the arms or hands
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue

There are some less common symptoms to be aware of as well, including: 

  • Ringing in the ears
  • Blurred vision
  • Memory issues
  • Irritability or depression
  • Sleep disturbances

Why Getting Whiplash Treatment Right Away Is so Important 

When your body undergoes a traumatic event like whiplash, scar tissue builds up to repair any damaged soft tissues, like tears in the muscles. 

Unfortunately, scar tissue is not very flexible, which can lead to stiffness, pain, and reduced range of motion. Some of these symptoms can end up being long-term issues if you don’t receive chiropractic whiplash treatment immediately after an accident. 

Car Accident Treatment in Jacksonville

Your Jacksonville chiropractor will perform chiropractic adjustments to put your spine back into proper alignment. Doing that will reduce muscle strain, and tension on the tendons, ligaments, and joints. 

In addition to spinal adjustments, the doctor + massage therapist will use deep tissue massage tools to break up scar tissue, promote muscle relaxation, and improve blood flow. 

Reduced strain and tension, muscle relaxation, and better blood flow will help the body heal, significantly reducing your level of pain.
