Whiplash FAQs

Whiplash is a common auto accident injury that causes pain, inflammation, and stiffness in the neck. Fortunately, chiropractic care offers the testing and treatment you need for an effective recovery. Our team at Boyd Chiropractic in Castle Rock, CO, has put together a list of frequently asked questions to help you better understand whiplash and how we can help.

What causes whiplash, and what are some common whiplash symptoms? 

Auto collisions are a major cause of many whiplash injuries. The impact of an auto collision causes your head to whip back and forth violently, straining muscles and tissues in your neck and causing misalignment in your cervical spine. Whiplash can cause symptoms like neck pain and stiffness, inflammation, headaches, shoulder and back pain, dizziness, loss of neck mobility, and difficulty sleeping.

Why should I see a chiropractor for whiplash?

Even if you’ve seen your doctor, it’s good to be checked by a chiropractor for whiplash after an auto accident. Your doctor may prescribe medications for temporary pain relief, whereas our Castle Rock chiropractor will treat the root cause of your pain, helping your body heal naturally.  

If I’m not experiencing pain, should I still see a chiropractor?

Most patients do not experience obvious symptoms of whiplash until days after the collision. That’s why it’s essential to schedule an immediate evaluation at our chiropractic clinic to diagnose the condition early on for fast and effective treatment.

How does a chiropractor treat whiplash?

Whiplash pain is often caused by strained muscles and tissues in your neck and misalignment of your cervical spine. Through the use of chiropractic adjustments, our Castle Rock chiropractor can realign your cervical spine to ease muscle tension and pain. We may combine adjustments with massage therapy which circulates blood to injured tissues to expedite your healing. We’ll also recommend corrective exercises to restore neck flexibility, range of motion, and mobility.
