Whiplash FAQs

Whiplash is a common injury that occurs when the neck is forcefully moved forward and backward, typically in automobile accidents. This sudden movement can cause damage to the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the neck, leading to a range of symptoms and discomfort. At Weisbrod Chiropractic in Chandler, AZ, we offer a variety of treatments to reduce your aches and improve your overall health. Before you visit us, take a look at some frequently asked questions regarding whiplash below:

What are the Symptoms of Whiplash?

Symptoms of whiplash can vary from person to person but commonly include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and limited range of motion in the neck. Some individuals may also experience shoulder pain, tingling or numbness in the arms, and fatigue. It's important to seek treatment if you experience any of these symptoms after an auto accident.

How is Whiplash Diagnosed?

Diagnosing whiplash typically involves a physical examination by our chiropractor. We will evaluate your range of motion, examine your neck for tenderness or swelling, and may order imaging tests such as X-rays or MRI scans to rule out any underlying injuries or conditions.

What are Some Treatment Options for Whiplash?

Treatment for whiplash often involves a combination of rest, ice or heat therapy, pain medication, and gentle exercises to help improve neck mobility and strength. Chiropractic care, including spinal adjustments and manipulation, can also be effective in relieving pain and properly aligning the spine.
