If you’ve recently been injured in a car accident, you probably think that taking care of your vehicle is more important than taking care of yourself. This should not be the case. If your body was jerked around during the accident, you might be suffering from whiplash without even realizing. Symptoms of whiplash may be delayed for 24 hours or more after the initial trauma, so it’s important to visit Dr. Jay McClanahan of Dr. J. Chiropractic & Wellness Center following the accident to discuss your treatment options.
Sometimes, the pain of whiplash is immediate. In other cases, it can take several hours or a day before your neck begins to hurt. The blow that causes neck strains can sometimes cause a concussion, too. This is why it’s important to seek medical care after a serious accident. Treatment of whiplash depends on the wide variety of symptoms present. Some symptoms include neck pain and stiffness, headache, shoulder pain, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and/or back pain.
