If you have whiplash, the injury can reduce your range of motion and affect your daily activities. At Infinity Chiropractic Wellness Center in Red Bank, NJ, we provide various treatments to alleviate discomfort and help you heal. Before you visit us, learn about some causes and symptoms of whiplash below:

What Causes Whiplash?

Whiplash occurs when your head is suddenly moved forward or backward. This rapid movement can strain the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the neck and result in severe pain. While whiplash often happens during auto accidents, it can also occur from slip and fall injuries, amusement park rides, and contact sports.

Symptoms of Whiplash

Symptoms of whiplash differ from person to person, and may include:

• Neck pain and stiffness
• Reduced range of motion
• Headaches or migraines
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Shoulder and back pain

Treatments for Whiplash

At our practice, we utilize multiple methods when treating whiplash. Chiropractic adjustments help by realigning the spine, which reduces nerve irritation and alleviates pain associated with whiplash. These adjustments also improve joint mobility and support the body’s natural healing process. Your care plan may also consist of physical therapy. Physical therapy focuses on targeted exercises to strengthen and stabilize the neck muscles, which alleviates pain and improves function. Additionally, it includes techniques like stretching and manual therapy to enhance flexibility.

Our chiropractor may also offer lifestyle advice on activities to avoid and healthy dietary choices to further ease your symptoms. All of our treatments are safe and non-invasive, eliminating the need for medications or surgery for your recovery.
