Whiplash is caused by an injury to the neck when the head moves forward and backward in a rapid motion that ends up placing strain on the surrounding muscles and ligaments and usually occurs in a motor vehicle accident. Symptoms of whiplash include:

 

• Restricted joint movement in the spine or limbs

• A herniated disc that causes sharp pain down one or both arms

• Chronic neck pain

• Difficulty concentrating

 

Neck pain caused by whiplash can become chronic if left untreated. Spine Evolution can help to diagnose and handle the underlying problem. Visiting a chiropractor allows your spine to gently become realigned to its proper position allowing your pain to dissipate.
