Every case of whiplash can be a bit different, and there is not one treatment that fits all forms of pain management for this car accident injury. However, patients suffering from whiplash pain can find relief by seeing a chiropractor and creating a personalized care plan to help treat their pain and not just mask the symptoms with addictive medications. Our chiropractors at Crawford Family Chiropractic have been helping patients with whiplash pain in Crossville, TN, Livingston, TN, Kingston, TN, Oneida, TN, and Jamestown, TN. 

Causes

The most common cause of whiplash is the impact of a car accident; however, other activities, including falling and playing contact sports, can cause whiplash symptoms to develop. In addition, physical abuse and assault can also cause whiplash symptoms and are among the most commonly seen injuries in shaken baby syndrome. 

Signs

The signs and symptoms of whiplash depend significantly upon the cause of the injury and severity of the damage. Common symptoms can include neck pain, stiffness, intense pain when moving, limited range of motion, and a headache. Other common symptoms may include tenderness in the shoulder, tingling, numbness in the arms, fatigue, and dizziness. More severe cases of whiplash may also be accompanied by blurry vision, tinnitus, sleep disturbances, irritability, trouble concentrating, memory problems, and depression. 

Chiropractic Treatment

Chiropractic care focuses on treating whiplash pain's root cause instead of temporarily masking the symptoms with addictive prescription medications. Common chiropractic care for whiplash include spinal manipulation, lifestyle changes, and ergonomic tips for the workplace. 

Other common options available through a chiropractor's office may include stretching techniques or more. These options work together to help provide the best possible whiplash relief for patients.
