What are the Symptoms of Whiplash in Bucks County, PA?

Whiplash injuries in Bucks County, PA can range from mild to very severe. Injuries tend to be more significant when your headrest is positioned too low. If the impact was quite severe or the headrest was low there is the possibility that bones are broken or tissue is damaged and it is highly recommended that you stop and see Dr. Joshua Roberts at Roberts Family Chiropractic in Bucks County, PA and receive a thorough examination and x-rays. Even if the impact seemed mild, you may have whiplash if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

• Neck pain
• Shoulder, upper back and arm pain
  
• Headaches
  
• Blurred vision
  
• Pain when turning the head
  
• Inability to move or turn the head fully
  
• Dizziness
  
• Tiredness
  
• Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands and fingers
  

As you can see there are a wide range of symptoms, and not all of them may be immediately traceable to whiplash. Even if you have been cleared by a doctor, your pain could still be related to whiplash and you may need treatment to correct the problem. If you have recently been injured it's important to get your spine checked as soon as possible. The sooner that you start treating the issue the less chance you have of it developing into a long term problem.
