Whiplash

When we think of whiplash, the first thing that comes to mind is an auto accident injury. While auto accidents are the most common cause of whiplash, whiplash can also occur at work or while playing sports. Whiplash causes pain and immobility in the neck and upper back. At Symtrio Chiropractic & Sports Medicine, our Hillsboro chiropractor treats patients for whiplash injuries effectively and painlessly.

Whiplash

What is Whiplash?

Whiplash occurs when a person's neck is forcibly moved backward then forward. The injury can be complicated. It typically involves the vertebrae, spinal discs, nerves, ligaments muscles, and tendons of the neck.

Symptoms of Whiplash

Symptoms of whiplash can vary widely from person to person. Some common symptoms of the injury follow:

  • Neck pain
  • Shoulder pain and stiffness
  • Arm and hand pain and weakness
  • Headaches
  • A reduced range of motion

Chiropractic Care for Whiplash

At the time of your initial examination with our chiropractor, certain orthopedic and neurological tests will be performed. Although whiplash isn't a complicated diagnosis for a chiropractor to make, it can be a troublesome injury. A set of x-rays might be beneficial for purposes of isolating where the specific injury is located. Once the injury is isolated, our chiropractor will begin treating it with painless chiropractic adjustments and other therapies like electronic muscle stimulation. If massage therapy is called for, we have a licensed massage therapist on our staff.

The Benefits of Chiropractic Treatment for Whiplash
