Whiplash Causes and Symptoms

Whiplash is a condition that often occurs as a result of rear-impact car accidents. When the impact occurs, the passengers in the car are jerked forward quickly, causing the head and neck to strain forward against the seat belt. This impact and strain on the muscles cause the ligaments and muscles to develop small tears.

Whiplash is a condition that can take hours, days or weeks to show symptoms. Some of the most common symptoms of whiplash include:

  • Pain and tenderness in the neck and shoulders.
  • Irritability.
  • Difficulty sleeping.
  • Limited mobility.
  • Headaches and migraines.

Chiropractic Care Provides Whiplash Treatment in Los Altos

At Reimer Wellness Center, we use the following techniques to provide whiplash treatment in Los Altos:

Spinal adjustment. During spinal adjustment, the spinal column is realigned to reduce pressure on the spinal cord. This improves communication in the central nervous system and helps ensure that signals from the brain reach their destination. This helps the body heal after the accident and can improve a patient’s overall comfort during the healing process.

Massage therapy. We use massage therapy to improve circulation in the muscles and deliver oxygen to the injured parts of the body. Massage therapy also helps relieve anxiety after an accident occurs, which can cut back on muscle aches and headaches relating to tension.

Therapeutic stretches and exercises. We show patients stretches and exercises that can help them improve strength, balance, and coordination after an accident occurs.
