Introduction

Car accidents can cause whiplash, a neck injury that occurs when the head is jerked back and forth in a collision. Whiplash can cause neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and sometimes dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

Symptoms of Whiplash

Whiplash symptoms can vary in severity and may include:

  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Difficulty concentrating

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care can help alleviate the symptoms of whiplash. Chiropractors use various techniques to treat whiplash, including adjustments, traction, laser, and shockwave therapy.
