7 Symptoms of Whiplash and Benefits of Visiting a Chiropractor After an Auto Accident
You should visit our chiropractor immediately after being in an auto accident. Even if you feel fine, the adrenaline your body is producing might be masking signs and symptoms of injury. Whiplash is a common auto accident injury with symptoms that might not show up until days or weeks later, and without treatment, can cause significant complications. Schedule an appointment with our Fresno chiropractor to take advantage of auto injury treatment.
Signs You Have Whiplash After an Auto Accident
Because whiplash symptoms might not show up right away, it’s important to recognize these seven key signs you may have whiplash:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Loss of range of motion in the neck
- Headaches and/or migraines
- Shoulder and upper back pain or tenderness
- Neck and shoulder fatigue
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Numbness or tingling in arms or hands
Whiplash Complications Without Treatment
Without the proper treatment, you can develop complications from whiplash. Whiplash can cause nerve damage, or symptoms can worsen to the point that they become chronic. Whiplash complications can include:
- Chronic pain
- Permanent stiffness or loss of motion in the neck
- Anxiety, depression, or insomnia
- Confusion or disorientation
- Irritability or personality changes
- Loss of appetite
