The resulting instability of the spine and soft tissue from whiplash can result in headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, pain in the shoulder, arms and hands, reduced ability to turn and bend, and even low back problems. As the body attempts to adapt, symptoms may not appear for weeks or even months after the auto accident.
The chiropractic approach is to use specific chiropractic adjustments to help return spinal function. After a thorough case history and examination, the doctor will recommend a series of visits to help restore proper motion and position of spinal bones. If whiplash or other auto accident injuries to the spine are caught early enough, inflammation can be reduced and scar tissue can often be minimized.
