Whiplash

When you’re involved in a car accident, you may not feel soreness or pain at the time. However, the following days you might be experiencing severe pain, most commonly in your head, neck, and shoulder. Those are common symptoms of whiplash, which is the force that moves your neck backward and forward during accidents. At Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we advise our patients who have been in an accident to seek chiropractic care.

When possible, we encourage our patients to look for symptoms following a car accident. These symptoms include neck pain/stiffness, lower back pain, and blurred vision, ringing in the ears, headache, shoulder pain, and nausea. Our doctors are trained in Human Biomechanics to help diagnose and treat these symptoms.

The benefit of chiropractic care is a pain-free approach that doesn’t involve painkillers and other medications. Dr. J and his staff treat injuries through spinal realignment that takes pressure off of your nerves and provide pain relief.
