Whiplash

Car accidents can be frightening, stressful, and painful. Even minor accidents can leave drivers and passengers with back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other nagging symptoms. At Spine Chiropractic, we can treat these and other aches and pains related to car accidents at our clinic without using drugs or surgery. Because these symptoms do not always appear directly after an accident, it’s important to schedule a visit with a doctor following a collision to avoid long-term health problems or more severe complications. If you are living with chronic pain then chiropractic care in Denver NC might be a good treatment option.

How Whiplash Happens

Whiplash occurs when muscles in your neck are strained because of rapid movement backward and then forward. The abrupt motion causes tendons and tissues in your neck to tear, often causing pain and swelling. Car accidents (particularly rear-end collisions) are a leading cause of whiplash injuries, but there are other ways one might suffer whiplash. These include:

• Physical abuse (being punched or shaken)
• Contact sports
• Horseback riding
• Biking accidents
• Hard falls or blows to the head
