Whiplash FAQs | Chiropractor in Fairfax, VA
Whiplash is no laughing matter. While chiropractors treat all types of injuries after a wreck, this is one of the most common. At Circle Chiropractic in Fairfax, VA, we're dedicated to relieving your pain and restoring your full range of motion as soon as possible after an auto accident injury.
The only way to know for sure is to see a qualified health care professional. Most people see their primary care physician, which is fine. Primary care physicians can usually provide a referral to a chiropractor when asked.
However, it's important to note that licensed chiropractors are capable of diagnosing whiplash as well. In fact, it's one of the most common conditions chiropractors see!
Some signs that you might need to see a chiropractor for help with whiplash include:
Neck stiffness and pain
Limited or decreased range of motion in the neck
Soreness or tenderness in the shoulders, upper arms, or upper back
Numbness and/or tingling in the arms, hands, or fingers
Sudden dizziness
Headaches--especially headaches that have their origin in the base of the skull
A chiropractor can do a lot to help you recover after your wreck. Proper chiropractic care re-aligns the spine and joints. This helps to relax ligaments, tendons, muscles, and other soft tissue, which in turn restores motion and relieves pain. If you're suffering from pain or numbness because of a slipped disc or pinched nerve, chiropractic care is designed to take care of that as well.
