The name whiplash, says it all. This injury occurs when the head and neck are whipped from back to front, similar to how a whip is cracked. The majority of car accidents in Langhorne, PA are rear-end collisions, with whiplash being a common result. Whiplash can also occur from other kinds of trauma, accidents, abuse and falls.

Many people in Langhorne, PA who have been involved in an accident don't even realize they have received a whiplash injury until weeks or months later when the problem becomes persistent and leads to other issues. If your neck has been injured in an accident or other incident, below will help you to understand if you have a whiplash injury and how chiropractic care can help you to treat it in Langhorne, PA

​Whiplash in Langhorne, PA

When the neck is whipped from back to front during a car accident, while playing contact sports such as football, or occasionally from an assault or other physical trauma, a number of things can happen to the spine and surrounding soft tissue. Whiplash describes the initial impact, but the results can include:

• Disc bulges and herniation
  
• Subluxations (misalignment of the vertebrae in the spine),
  
• Injured bones in the spine,
  
• Irritated and damaged nerves
  
• Pulled ligaments and muscles in the neck​

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.
