Frequently Asked Whiplash Questions At Our Yorkville Clinic

You may have heard of whiplash or seen other people suffering from this form of neck damage. Perhaps you even suspect that you have whiplash yourself. But what is whiplash all about, and how can you receive safe, natural relief for it? Here are the answers to some commonly asked questions on the subject at our Yorkville clinic.

What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash is an acute injury that may include torn neck muscles, dislodged cervical vertebrae, herniated cervical discs, and pinched nerves.

How Does Whiplash Occur?

Whiplash occurs when the body is subjected to intense impact forces. The weight of the head sends it flying upward and downward, putting the neck under severe, sudden stress.

Is Whiplash Always the Result of an Auto Accident Injury?

While whiplash commonly occurs as part of an auto accident injury, it may appear under other circumstances as well. Examples include sports injuries, workplace injuries, and impact injuries in the home.

What Are the Symptoms of Whiplash?

Whiplash typically causes severe neck pain and stiffness that makes moving the head difficult. You may also experience such diverse problems as blurred vision, ringing in the ears, mood changes, dizziness, headaches, and neurological symptoms in your upper extremities.

How Can Chiropractic Care Treat Whiplash?

A chiropractic evaluation of your cervical spine can diagnose the exact nature of your whiplash injuries. Cervical spinal adjustments can normalize your neck alignment and joint motion, helping you regain function.

What Other Whiplash Treatment Techniques Do You Offer?

In addition to chiropractic care, our team offers multi-modal solutions like cervical spinal decompression, physical therapy, and massage therapy to help you conquer your symptoms and enjoy a speedier recovery.
