Dealing with Whiplash

Most of us have heard the term "whiplash," but do you know what it really means? Whiplash injury occurs when your head is suddenly and violently jerked back and forth beyond it's normal range of motion. As a result, your muscles and ligaments can be stretched or torn, and the discs between your spinal bones can bulge, tear or even rupture. These serious spinal injuries often force your vertebrae out of their normal position and can cause lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, dizziness, blurred vision and a host of other debilitating health problems.

Car collisions, sporting accidents, slips and falls can all cause whiplash. Symptoms of whiplash may not appear immediately, developing over weeks or even months as your body attempts to compensate for unhealed or incorrectly healed injuries to your spine.

Chiropractic care uses specific spinal adjustments to return your spine to normal function. If chiropractic care is sought early enough after whiplash trauma, inflammation and even the formation of scar tissue can be minimized.

If you've suffered whiplash we encourage you to call our Park Ridge, Illinois Chiropractic Office - Higgins Sports and Spinal Rehab. Park Ridge chiropractor Dr. Cabrera and his caring staff have extensive experience in treating whiplash trauma using proven chiropractic methods and effective alternative treatments that do not include the use of drugs.
