Whiplash is the most common car accident injury. This injury occurs when the force of a rear-impact accident, “whips” the cervical spine beyond its normal range of motion. Otherwise known as Acceleration / Deceleration cervical spine injury, whiplash may cause spinal misalignment, aka subluxation. But it may also strain tendons and ligaments or cause ligament laxity. Ligament laxity can result in recurring neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches at the base of the skull, and stiffness and soreness of the neck. Other common symptoms of whiplash injuries include difficulty concentrating on work, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, disrupted sleep, problems with memory loss and even depression. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above after an accident, our chiropractor recommends a full diagnostic exam to determine if you have sustained a whiplash injury.
