Whiplash FAQ
An auto accident can cause a variety of injuries, such as whiplash, and result in pain. At Papa Chiropractic and Physical Therapy in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, and Jupiter, FL, we provide chiropractic treatments to alleviate your discomfort and help you return to your normal routine. Before visiting us, learn more about whiplash below:
What is Whiplash?
Whiplash occurs when your head and neck are forcefully moved forward and backward during a sudden impact or stop. The condition often happens due to a car accident, hard fall, or while playing a contact sport. It is important to seek treatment for whiplash as soon as possible, since it can become chronic and lead to further complications.
Can Whiplash Cause Neck Pain?
Whiplash can frequently cause neck pain. The motion of an accident or collision can push the vertebrae in your neck out of alignment, which can result in added pressure on the ligaments, tendons, and muscles in your neck and shoulders. The extra tension and stress can cause pain in your neck and discomfort when moving or turning your head.
Is My Headache from Whiplash?
If you have a headache after a car accident or another injury, it might be due to whiplash. Sometimes, the condition can cause headaches that last for weeks or months. When you visit us, our chiropractors can realign your spine to eliminate any pain you may have and reduce the frequency of headaches.
