Car Accident Chiropractor in Scarborough ON
After an automobile accident, many people look for chiropractic help in Scarborough ON. In many car accident cases, whiplash, when your head and neck are violently swung back and forth, is endured. Most automobile accidents result in being hit from behind which often leads to whiplash. Not only can automobile accidents cause whiplash, but also trauma, abuse and falls.
Many people in Scarborough ON will be unaware of their whiplash until the injury causes negative effects which may only present themselves weeks or even months down the line. If you are experiencing problems related to whiplash, the goal of this article is to show you how to recognize whiplash and the benefits of chiropractic treatment at Progressive Family Wellness Centre.
Whiplash in Scarborough ON
The spine and tissue near your neck can be seriously irritated in many ways when whiplash occurs during automobile accidents, sports like football, or from abuse/physical harm. Whiplash has the potential to produce more than just short-term pain. Long term effects can include:
Disc bulges and herniation
Misalignments of the vertebrae in the spine
Damaged bones in your vertebrae
Nerve damage and irritation
Pulling of muscles or ligaments in your neck
What Are the Symptoms of Whiplash?
There is a wide range of whiplash injuries which can range from mild to very serious in nature. Having your headrest too low is a common cause of severe whiplash injuries. There could be broken bones or tissue damage when combining a bad collision with a low headrest. In a situation like this, meeting with a chiropractor is very important to get x-rays done and a complete examination. In the case of a mild crash or collision, you still may be experiencing whiplash if you have any of these symptoms:
Neck Pain
Pain in the shoulder, upper back, and arms
Headaches
Blurry vision
Pain with mobility of the neck
Dizziness
Drowsiness
Numbing or Tingling down your arms
Ringing ears
Struggling to sleep
Depression
There are numerous symptoms that can accompany whiplash, and it may be hard to pinpoint all of these symptoms back to your whiplash if you neglect to seek care for weeks after your accident. Whiplash could need further treatment even after getting the “good-to-go” from your doctor. After an injury, it is very important to get a spinal check as soon as you find the time. Treating the injury promptly is your best chance at preventing long-term complications.
