Treating Symptoms From Whiplash With Chiropractic Care
Whiplash is an injury commonly sustained in car accidents, but it can also be caused by falls, sports accidents, and on the job accidents. A whiplash injury occurs when the head and neck snap quickly forward and backward, damaging the muscles or tendons of the cervical spine.
Because symptoms of whiplash can take days or even weeks to appear, it’s crucial to seek treatment as soon as you suffer any type of neck injury. At Total Care Injury & Pain Centers, our chiropractors have extensive training and experience in recognizing the signs and symptoms of whiplash. If you’ve recently suffered an injury and think you may have symptoms of whiplash in South Louisiana, contact us today.
How to Know if You Have Whiplash
Symptoms of whiplash can show up days or weeks after an injury. The most common symptoms are neck pain and stiffness, loss of range of motion in the neck, and worsening of pain when moving the neck. You may also experience headaches, pain or tenderness in the shoulders or upper back, a tingling feeling or numbness in your arms, fatigue, and dizziness.
More serious symptoms of whiplash are blurred vision, a ringing noise in the ears, insomnia or inability to stay asleep, changes in mood or personality, trouble concentrating, memory issues, anxiety, and depression. If you have suffered an accident or injury and have neck pain or any other symptoms of whiplash in South Louisiana, visit us for a consultation and diagnostic testing today.
