Whiplash

If you have whiplash, the injury can reduce your range of motion and significantly affect your daily activities. At Mountainview Chiropractic Center in Hillsborough Township, NJ, we offer non-invasive treatments to ease your symptoms and support your recovery. Before you visit us, continue reading to learn more about whiplash!

Understanding Whiplash

Whiplash occurs when your head and neck are suddenly moved forward and backward. This rapid motion can hyperextend the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in your neck and cause severe pain. While the injury often happens during rear-end collisions, it can also occur from contact sports or falls.

Recognizing the Symptoms

Those with whiplash may exhibit a variety of symptoms. Some of these symptoms include the following:

• Neck pain and stiffness
• Pain that radiates to the shoulders and upper back
• Reduced range of motion
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Fatigue

While neck pain is often noticeable immediately after an accident, other symptoms may not appear until hours or days later. If you experience any of these signs, it’s important to visit our chiropractors for treatment as soon as possible.

Treatment for Whiplash

Our chiropractors may utilize multiple methods when treating whiplash. We often recommend chiropractic adjustments to correct misalignments in the cervical spine and provide relief. These adjustments can be combined with massage therapy, which helps ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and accelerate the healing process. Additionally, we can teach you specific exercises to strengthen your neck muscles and increase your range of motion.

Each of our treatments are safe and non-invasive, which means medications and surgery are not needed to help you recover. Even once you’ve healed, you can visit us for maintenance care so we can resolve any small issues quickly.
