Chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive way to treat pain caused by a car accident injury. Whiplash is a common auto accident injury that causes great pain and discomfort. At West Buffalo Chiropractic, our experienced chiropractor will provide immediate pain relief that allows you to better function in life. We have gathered some of the questions that our patients ask us regarding whiplash and how we treat it.

What is Whiplash?

Whiplash is a strain of the ligaments and muscles in the neck. This injury is often associated with car accidents, but whiplash can occur due to a forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the head and neck which is beyond your neck's normal range of motion. Such actions include falling from an elevated height, getting tackled while participating in a contact sport, or getting hit in the head with a blunt object. If you have sustained a whiplash injury, getting timely chiropractic care will help to reduce your symptoms and recovery period.

What are the Symptoms of Whiplash?

The most common symptoms of whiplash include a stiff neck, shoulder pain, constant headaches, dizziness, and insomnia. The onset of these symptoms could be immediate or delayed.

What Chiropractic Care Treatments Are Effective for Whiplash?

Whiplash treatment can vary depending on the severity of the auto injury. It is best to have a chiropractor determine the level of pain, the frequency of the symptoms, and your overall health through a full examination. At West Buffalo Chiropractic, we have experience in treating complex cases associated with whiplash. We will create a customized treatment plan that may include a combination of physical therapy, chiropractic care, and massage therapy. Best of all we do not rely on pain medication or surgery to produce results.
