Whiplash

Whiplash, or neck sprain or strain, is a neck injury that comes from rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, like the cracking of a whip. Auto accident injuries, sports accidents, and physical abuse are some common causes of whiplash. The pain from whiplash can cause long-lasting complications and be debilitating. At Ross Chiropractic in San Jose, CA, our experts will treat and diagnose your whiplash.

What Are the Symptoms of Whiplash?

The signs and symptoms of whiplash usually develop a few days after the injury. However, symptoms may not present themselves for days or weeks after an accident. It is vital to seek treatment after an accident or injury so we can detect any underlying issues. If you do experience symptoms of whiplash, they may include:

  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Worsening of pain with neck movement
  • Loss of range of motion in the neck
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Pain and numbness in the arms
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Blurred vision
  • Tinnitus
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Irritability
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Memory problems
  • Depression

Chiropractic Treatment for Whiplash

Chiropractic care is a licensed health care profession that emphasizes the body’s ability to heal itself. Our chiropractor will perform a physical exam to determine the cause of your pain. We look for any underlying issues to ensure that we treat the root cause of your problem. Then, we will create a personalized treatment plan for you.

One of the most common methods we use to heal whiplash pain is chiropractic adjustments. We offer various adjustment methods, including Palmer diversified technique, Thompson drop, Activator method, and more. These techniques work to realign the neck and spine, which alleviates tension and pressure. Whiplash can aggravate many areas of the body, so it is important to realign the spine to prevent further injuries.

We also provide massage therapy. This method works to relieve inflammation, improve blood flow, and promote natural healing in the body. Massages can alleviate whiplash pain and help your neck heal. Our chiropractor might also suggest corrective exercises. Stretching and strengthening exercises will alleviate neck pain, improve your range of motion, and strengthen your neck muscles to avoid future pain.

Our chiropractor can also help you with posture correction. Straining your neck or hunching your shoulders can worsen whiplash pain. By improving your posture, you can strengthen your neck and alleviate your pain.

All of our chiropractic methods are natural, non-invasive, and drug-free. This allows you to avoid risky surgeries and medications, which often come with side effects.
