Whiplash & How to Treat It

Have you ever experienced sharp pain radiating down your neck after an auto accident or sudden movement? If so, chances are you may have suffered from whiplash. This common neck injury occurs when there is an abrupt jerking or whipping of the head, usually as a result of an auto accident. It causes stiffness and pain in the neck and shoulders, frequent headaches, fatigue, and even difficulty sleeping. While the severity of symptoms can vary, there are several treatments available to help alleviate the pain and assist you in returning to your normal life.



At Coast Chiropractic Injury and Wellness Center in Fort Lauderdale, we understand the importance of getting whiplash treatment as soon as possible and have developed a comprehensive plan to help you recover from your symptoms quickly. Here are some of the most common treatments we offer.

Chiropractic adjustments are one of the best ways to reduce pain and restore mobility in your neck after a whiplash injury. During a chiropractic adjustment, your chiropractor will use their hands to manipulate the joints in your neck. This helps reduce tension and correct any misalignments that may have occurred as a result of the injury. It can also help improve your range of motion and promote healing.

Physical therapy is another effective way to treat whiplash and restore range of motion. Physical therapy exercises can help reduce stiffness in your neck, improve mobility, and strengthen the muscles that support your neck.

When treating whiplash injuries, some people also find massage therapy to be beneficial. Massage can help reduce pain and muscle tension in the neck and shoulder area. It can also help improve circulation and promote healing, speeding up the recovery process and helping you get back to your normal activities faster.
