Common Causes of Whiplash

Whiplash is a neck condition that emanates from forceful, sudden back-and-forth movement of the neck. The rapid motion happens with such force and speed that it often results in sprains, strains, and ruptured tissues. While whiplash is not life-threatening, it can result in chronic pain and a prolonged period of partial disability. Many auto accident victims prefer chiropractic care for whiplash treatment because it is natural and non-invasive.

At Chiropractic of Bellevue, we have years of experience providing Bellevue residents with auto accident chiropractic care. Rather than masking your pain with prescription drugs or resorting to invasive surgery, our chiropractor will identify and treat the root cause of your discomfort. If you have recently been involved in an auto accident and suspect you have experienced whiplash, we are ready to assist you.

Common Whiplash Symptoms

• Blurred vision or vertigo
• Radiating pain in the shoulders, shoulder blades, back, or arms
• Headaches, particularly at the base of the skull
• Numbness or tingling
• Limited neck movement
• Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
• Fatigue

Chiropractic Whiplash Treatment 

Chiropractors utilize various techniques to ease whiplash pain, including:

• Spinal manipulation: Entails identifying misaligned neck joints and returning them to their proper position. Realigning your cervical spine will reduce your pain, improve your range of motion, and help your neck heal more quickly.
• Rehabilitation: Corrective exercises may be integrated into your wellness plan to accelerate healing, enhance flexibility, and strengthen the affected musculoskeletal structures bordering the cervical spine.
