Whiplash Symptoms
A whiplash injury can take up to weeks to develop. At the time of the incident, any swelling or bruising to the neck muscles may not be apparent right away. In many cases, the discomfort, pain, and stiffness is much worse on the following day, and may continue to worsen as each day goes by.
A person with whiplash may experience the following symptoms:
- Neck Pain
- Loss Of Range Of Motion / Movement
-
Headaches
-
Neck Stiffness
-
Low Back Pain
-
Numbness / Tingling In The Arms & Hands
-
Muscle Spasms
-
Dizziness
-
Fatigue
-
Vision Problems
-
Ringing In Ears
-
Difficulty Sleeping
-
Poor Concentration
- Memory Loss
Remember, the most common causes of whiplash (in our clinics) are auto injuries.
However, there can be OTHER causes of whiplash which may include falling off a bike, contact sports (i.e. football, hockey etc), amusement park rides etc.
Essentially, the ligaments and tendons in the neck are sprained during a whiplash injury because they have been overstretched. It may sometimes take several months for everything to heal. The important thing to consider is we want the tissues to heal in proper alignment. If your cervical vertebrae don't heal properly and in alignment...this can lead to early decay & disc degeneration.
Benefits Of Treatment Following An Auto Injury
Let's Go Over The Top 5 Reasons To Seek Treatment For Whiplash Following An Auto Injury.
Obviously broken bones, cuts, & bruises will be easy to identify after a car crash. However, there are other injuries that are not always apparent immediately following a car accident.
Like we mentioned, it can take 24 hours to a few days to feel the symptoms of whiplash such as dizziness, headaches, or pain in the upper back and neck.
The best way to deal with a whiplash injury is to catch it early. In other words, don't wait for pain to seek treatment.
Ignoring a potential injury can lead to long-term pain, which is why we encourage patients to call us immediately following your accident so we can properly diagnose your injuries and start you on a treatment plan before the pain become unbearable or permanent.
2. Our treatment is safe, gentle, and non-invasive!
Waiting too long after a car accident to seek treatment may leave you with surgery as the only option for recovery. However, our chiropractic methods / treatment modalities are safe, natural, and highly effective!
The medical alternatives to car accidents / whiplash typically include muscle relaxers, pain killers (sometimes addictive), cortisone shots, and surgery.
3. Pain relief WITHOUT the need for drugs!
For many people involved in a car accident they will just take pain relief drugs because they think that will make them better. Drugs / medications might make you "feel" better for a short period of time, however, it's not FIXING the problem. It's simply a chemical cover up that is short-term.
Our natural approach offers pain relief without the use of drugs or addictive medications. We also address the injury at the source of the problem using natural methods (i.e. chiropractic, massage, stretches, exercises etc.).
4. Restores normal range of motion!
If you suffer a neck or back injury from a car accident, the inflammation that occurs can cause even more problems. Your blood and nutrients will not be able to make to the areas they need to go because the inflammation will be slowing the healing process.
When we adjust our patients, it mobilizes your spine, restoring range of motion and allowing the body to begin the natural healing process at a much faster rate.
5. Avoid long-term pain!
Car accident (even minor ones) injuries can become serious long-term problems if the conditions are left untreated.
For example, symptoms of whiplash can continue for years if you fail to seek proper medical care.
Seeing a chiropractor immediately after your accident will help to avoid long-term, chronic pain conditions from developing. Again, we will be able to diagnose and treat your injury before it has the chance to manifest into a much larger problem.
Much larger problems include early disc degeneration, muscle / nerve damage, chronic headaches, poor range of motion etc.
What Will Treatment Cost?
The important thing to understand is chiropractic treatment after a car accident is the right decision to make for your health. You do NOT want any long term damage. Do not settle your case with an insurance company before being thoroughly examined for any long-term damage to your spine.
Auto injuries are typically covered at 100% which means no "out of pocket" expense for you. We will double check your insurance and make sure this is the case prior to starting any treatment.

You Have Questions...We Have Answers!
Q: What Happens On The First Visit?
The first visit is simple. You'll meet 1 on 1 with Dr. McCarthy. He'll perform a thorough health history and consultation. From there he'll do an examination. From there, if he thinks he can help your whiplash / car accident symptoms...he'll tell you. If he doesn't think he can help he will refer you to the necessary provider who CAN help.
Q: Does Your Treatment Hurt?
Our treatment methods are very gentle and low force. In fact, we see a ton of KIDS in our clinics and they love our approach.
Q: Do I Have To Keep Coming Back Again & Again?
This is a common question patients have. The primary goal is to get you out of pain and functioning at 100% once again. Based on your examination we will give our best clinical recommendations for optimal health. Some patients stay for wellness care because they understand the long term benefits of regular chiropractic care, whereas other patients stop in when things flare up. It is entirely up to you. We are NOT a high pressure office. We'll simply give you our best care recommendations.
Q: Does Insurance Pay For Chiropractic Care?
North Carolina requires all drivers to carry car insurance and generally insurance will pay for your care at 100% if you were in a car accident. We will check this on your very first visit and let you know before any treatment is rendered!
