Whiplash

Chiropractic Care for Whiplash at California Chiropractic

Whiplash is a condition that most often occurs from rear-end auto accidents. However, you could experience whiplash from a sports-related injury or another personal injury. Although symptoms may seem minor at first, whiplash left untreated can lead to serious health problems later in life. That's why it's essential to schedule a professional assessment immediately. At California Chiropractic, our chiropractor is dedicated to helping patients in Los Angeles, Simi Valley, and Chatsworth naturally recover from their whiplash injuries.

What Is Whiplash? 

Whiplash occurs when the neck is propelled forward and backward rapidly. This condition causes damage to the soft tissue and nerves in your neck.

Signs of Whiplash

Signs of whiplash may occur immediately after the incident. However, some people may not develop any issues for the first 72 hours. Patients often experience pain or stiffness when moving their necks. With whiplash, patients can also experience numbness, burning, or tingling in or around the neck. Other symptoms we often see patients suffering from due to whiplash include:

  • Tinnitus
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Mood changes
  • Memory problems
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Sleep disturbances  

Treatment

When you visit our center for chiropractic care, you'll first receive a thorough evaluation. In some cases, our chiropractor will require imaging tests like x-rays or CT scans.  After diagnosing the severity of your injury, we will analyze your medical history and determine the appropriate course of action for you. Part of your treatment may include spinal adjustments. Our chiropractor will gently reposition the vertebrae back into their proper alignment. 

Another part of your treatment may include chiropractic exercises. During this part of your treatment, our chiropractor will guide you through exercises that gently and slowly work your spine. These exercises strengthen the muscles and other soft tissues. Ultimately, this will help you regain function and flexion in your neck at a pace that won't cause any additional trauma. Our stretching and strengthening exercises will help you reduce tension and promote blood flow to the affected area, improving the body's natural healing process.
