Are You Experiencing Whiplash symptoms?

You know you should seek auto accident treatment in Fayetteville after a car accident injury, but how can you tell whether you were injured in an auto accident? If you feel stiff and sore for a couple days, are you fine or should you see a car accident chiropractor in Fayetteville for treatment of whiplash? 

What Causes Whiplash? 

A type of neck pain, whiplash is caused when your neck forcefully whips back and forth. While it often arises after an auto accident, whiplash can also occur from sports injuries, personal injuries, and other causes. Since whiplash does not set on immediately after the accident, many people do not even consider whiplash treatment until they already feel significant pain from whiplash symptoms. 

Our Fayetteville Chiropractor Can Check for Symptoms of Whiplash 

The main symptom of whiplash is neck pain, accompanied by stiffness in neck muscles. Pain gets worse when you try moving the neck. Depending on where the neck is injured, you may also have back pain, shoulder pain, or headaches. Some people feel a "pins and needles" sensation or experience memory loss as a result of whiplash treatment. 

Whiplash sets on at least 24 hours after an auto accident. Some chiropractic care patients begin feeling whiplash symptoms weeks or even months later. The only cure is chiropractic. 

Chiropractic Care for Whiplash 

Our Fayetteville chiropractor always checks the cervical spine for signs of whiplash when patients come in for auto accident treatment in Fayetteville. After an initial evaluation, our chiropractor in Fayetteville realigns the cervical spine to reduce neck pain, muscle stiffness, and inflammation. These treatments restore your mobility and relieve whiplash symptoms without requiring addictive pain medication. 

By treating spine problems before whiplash symptoms worsen, our Fayetteville chiropractor can help you avoid neck and back pain and recover faster.
