Even a minor automobile accident can have major effects on your health! When one automobile is struck by another, thousands of pounds of force are exerted on the neck & spine.

Whiplash occurs when the head and neck are thrown or “snapped” back and forth very quickly.

The painful result is injury to the ligaments, soft tissue, and discs of the neck and spine.

Whiplash also causes impingement, stretching, or irritation of the nerves and the spinal cord.

Whiplash can also cause headaches, numbness, pins and needles in the face, chest, arms or hands, anxiety, neck pain, back pain, ear ringing, dizziness, hearing loss and/or blurred vision.
