How Can You Tell if You Have Whiplash After a Car Accident?
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries sustained in car accidents. A whiplash injury occurs when the head and neck are moved forcefully back and forth or from side to side. It’s important to get whiplash diagnosed and treated as early as possible to prevent complications. At ChiroConcepts of Frisco North, we specialize in chiropractic whiplash treatment in Frisco, TX, and the surrounding areas. Take a look at how our chiropractor Dr. Mitchell Rogers recognizes signs and symptoms of whiplash.
Common Symptoms of Whiplash
The most common symptoms of whiplash are neck pain and neck stiffness. If you have a whiplash injury after being in a car accident, it might be hard to move your head and neck. Moving may worsen your pain. Other common whiplash symptoms are:
- Loss of range of motion in your neck
- Headaches or migraines
- Shoulder or upper back pain or tenderness
- Numbness or tingling in the arms and/or hands
- Fatigue or exhaustion
- Dizziness
Diagnosing Whiplash
Whiplash injuries don’t show up on x-rays or imaging tests, but we may take those tests anyway to rule out other auto injuries. We’ll start with completing a full physical examination, and we’ll ask you to move your head, neck, and arms. We’ll ask you to complete certain physical movements so we can assess your range of motion, flexibility, dexterity, reflexes, strength, and balance.
Chiropractic Whiplash Treatment
Our goal when designing your whiplash treatment plan is to relieve your pain and stiffness so you can return to your normal activities. Chiropractic care is non-invasive, non-surgical, and drug-free. We may recommend a combination of different chiropractic therapies to give you the best chance of a full recovery. We may suggest chiropractic adjustments, physical rehabilitation, and modifying your physical movements and activities at home and work to support your healing process.
