As a leading Concord Chiropractor, I have been studying Whiplash for over 26 years.
Many of your friends or neighbors may have been patients of ours at one time.
Our diligence and attention to detail clearly set us apart from other offices. This is one of the reasons attorneys from all over the state refer their patients to our office for pain relief after a car accident.
Whiplash symptoms from a car accident can cause you pain right away.
But pain and symptoms may take 10 days to even 8 weeks before you feel them!
This can make whiplash complicated to support from an insurance standpoint. This is why a thorough history as well as examination including x-rays are crucial to properly documenting your injuries. Keep in mind that your doctors ability to document the injuries are as important as the injury itself when it comes time to settle your case. As far as the insurance company is concerned, if it is not written down, it did not happen!
Often patients think that they have not been injured after a car accident. They might feel some stiffness maybe an ache or two. Then 2 weeks later you wake up and can barely move your neck, or you find you are have constant headaches, or worst. If you have closed your case, you are left paying the bill or worst, suffering with the problem for the rest of your life!
Whiplash Symptoms Can Include
- Neck pain and stiffness (often in the front of your neck too)
- Headaches, often at the base of the skull
- Dizziness
- Blurred vision
- Fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
- Ringing in the ears
- Sleep disturbances
- Irritability
- Emotional upset- from fear, to crying to anger, unexpectedly
- Speech changes
- Difficulty Swallowing
- Memory problems
- Concussion
If you have been involved in a car accident, you most likely suffered a Whiplash type injury.
Research shows that left untreated, you most likely will end up with some type of permanent damage. Don't wait till it is too late, Get checked today!
