Treatment for Whiplash in Augusta GA

A whiplash neck sprain occurs when your head is suddenly jolted backwards and forwards (or forwards then backwards) in a whip-like movement, or is suddenly forcibly rotated. This can cause some neck muscles and ligaments to stretch more than normal (sprain).

The common cause is when you are in a vehicle that is hit from behind by another vehicle. Being in a vehicle hit from the side or front can also cause a whiplash sprain.

What are the symptoms of whiplash?

Symptoms of whiplash might be delayed for 24 hours or more after the initial trauma. However, people who experience whiplash might develop one or more of the following symptoms, usually within the first few days after the accident:

  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Headaches
  • Pain in the shoulder or between the shoulder blades
  • Low back pain
  • Pain or numbness in the arm and/or hand
  • Dizziness
  • Ringing in the ears or blurred vision
  • Difficulty concentrating or remembering
  • Irritability, sleep disturbances, fatigue

Finding treatment for whiplash in Augusta GA

Properly diagnosing the symptoms associated with whiplash is critical, as well as properly administering treatment targeted to areas affected by a whiplash injury.  Georgia Clinic of Chiropractic are experienced chiropractors in Augusta GA, who have provided whiplash-specific treatments to patients with resounding success.  For instance, we have noticed that our whiplash patients can experience headaches, especially at the base of the skull, which is also a common symptom of whiplash.  It is important to recognize the headache as a symptom of whiplash, as opposed to treating a patient specifically for the headache in of itself.

To find out if an experienced chiropractor in Augusta GA can be the right course of treatment for you, contact the friendly staff at Georgia Clinic of Chiropractic either by phone or online.
