Injuries to the neck following a car accident are referred to as “whiplash.” Symptoms may include headaches, blurred vision, vomiting, dizziness, jaw pain, ear pain, stiffness in the neck, numbness or tingling into one or both arms, weakness in the hands. Symptoms may not fully appear until several weeks after the accident.
Early treatment is most important in order for proper healing to occur in the delicate structures of the neck. Spinal adjustments on a regular basis allow the soft tissue structures, such as discs, ligaments and muscles to heal up in their proper position.
