Whiplash, also known as a cervical acceleration/deceleration injury, is a common cause of neck pain, especially following a car accident. This injury occurs when a sudden force moves your head or neck quickly in one direction, followed by a "rebound" motion in the opposite direction. This rapid, "whipping" movement can strain the muscles and supporting tissues of your neck and head, leading to muscle fatigue, pain, and stiffness. In more severe cases, whiplash can also damage intervertebral joints, discs, ligaments, muscles, and even nerve roots. It can also affect your brain, causing a post-concussion syndrome because of the sudden forces.
If you’re experiencing whiplash after an accident, Gilmore Chiropractic is here to help. Not only do we provide effective treatments to support your recovery, but we also understand that many patients in these situations are involved in legal proceedings.
