Whiplash & Chiropractic Care

If you've ever been in a car accident, you know that the pain can persist for days, weeks, and even months. Even if you leave the accident and feel okay, you may later notice that you feel sore. One of the most common injuries that don't develop until later is known as whiplash. At Delmarva Chiropractic, we offer treatment for whiplash and other auto accident injuries in Salisbury, MD. Here's what every patient should know about whiplash.

What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash occurs when the impact of an accident causes your head to push forward and then snap back. While whiplash is a common auto accident injury, it can also result from other circumstances, including sports accidents, falls, and other personal injuries. Whiplash can damage your neck, shoulders, and other soft tissues in your body.

What Symptoms Are Associated with Whiplash?

Whiplash is a condition that comes with many different symptoms. What's more confusing is that many whiplash symptoms don't become apparent until days or weeks after an injury. These symptoms may include:

If you experience any of these symptoms, you should consult with your chiropractor.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help You?

A chiropractor can help you by examining your life from a holistic perspective. Your provider will examine your injury and ask questions about the accident and your lifestyle. Your chiropractor may also assess X-rays and other data to determine what kind of physical damage you may have experienced. Then, the provider will look for ways to address the problem and prevent further damage in the future. Your treatment plan may include spinal adjustments, stretches, corrective exercises, therapeutic massage, and lifestyle adjustments.
