Whiplash Treatment in Atlanta

Here at Senft Chiropractic in Atlanta, our chiropractor would like to remind you that car accidents can cause hidden neck and back injuries, resulting in significant pain and loss of range of motion in the neck.

Causes and Symptoms of Whiplash

Whiplash can occur anytime the head and neck are jerked outside of their normal range of motion. This most often occurs during car accidents at low speeds where the driver was rear-ended. The impact causes the head and neck to forcefully bounce between the headrest and its farthest forward range of motion, which stretches the muscles and ligaments and misaligns the cervical vertebrae. Symptoms of a car accident injury include neck pain and stiffness and severe headaches.
