If you have been in an auto accident and suffer from whiplash, you must get chiropractic treatment as quickly as possible.  An auto injury can cripple you in no time. Elite Family Chiropractic in Pearland, TX, provides the services you need to return to your everyday life pain-free.

How do I know if I have whiplash?

Some people will know that they have whiplash. They may experience headaches, blurry vision, and dizziness at the scene of an accident. For others, the stiffness in the neck, shoulder pain, and tingling down the arm may not start for a few days. But, if you have been in an accident, chances are you have whiplash.

What treatments can help with whiplash? 

You can immediately put ice on any sore area and then call our chiropractor to make an appointment. After an examination, our chiropractor will make a spinal adjustment to ensure that any vertebrae that may have been pushed out of alignment by the whipping action are back where they belong. In addition, the neck, upper back, and shoulder may require adjustment due to strain applied by the seatbelt.

The snapping motion stretches the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Soft tissue will take the brunt of the damage along with possible misaligned vertebra. This injury can cause pain and spasms. Electrical stimulation uses low levels of electricity to treat the muscles and relax them, which helps lessen pain.
