When someone has been in a car accident, one of the most common injuries is whiplash. There are many injuries that can occur, but even a low-impact crash can cause whiplash.

We serve the Springfield, MA, Fall River, MA, and New Bedford, MA, areas. Read on to learn more about this condition and our services.
Causes of Whiplash
The impact of a car accident causes whiplash. When the neck is whipped in one direction rapidly and then in another, it can cause neck strain and other problems with the neck. It may even cause fractures in one or more bones. Whiplash can make it harder to do everything you need to do.
Whiplash Symptoms
If you were in a car accident and now have whiplash, you may experience several different symptoms. The classic signs that you have whiplash are stiffness and pain in the neck. However, there are also other areas that it can affect, such as:
- Ringing in your ears (tinnitus)
- Numbness, pain, or tingling in your arms
- A hard time concentrating and memory problems
- Shoulder pain
- Headaches and migraines
If you have these symptoms and believe it may be whiplash, you need to see the chiropractor right away for whiplash treatment. A chiropractor can perform many different treatments to help with the symptoms and make things more comfortable for you.
Whiplash Treatment
There are treatments that can be done to relieve the pain of this condition and to give you a larger range of motion after an accident. Before treatment begins, the chiropractor might recommend X-rays or CT scans to find the root of the problem and create the most effective treatment plan for your specific needs.
