💡 What Is Whiplash?

Whiplash is a soft tissue injury of the neck caused by a sudden jerking motion, typically from a car crash or sports impact. This rapid movement strains the muscles, ligaments, and spinal joints in your neck and upper back.

🚨 Common Whiplash Symptoms

  • Neck pain or stiffness
  • Headaches (often starting at the base of the skull)
  • Shoulder, upper back, or arm pain
  • Tingling or numbness in the arms
  • Dizziness, fatigue, or difficulty concentrating
  • Pain that worsens with movement

Symptoms may appear hours or days after the injury — making early diagnosis critical.

🩺 How We Diagnose Whiplash

At Healthy Habits, we take a thorough and trauma-informed approach:

  • Cervical spine and posture assessment
  • Range of motion and neurological testing
  • Functional movement evaluation
  • Imaging referrals (X-rays, MRI, if necessary)

🔹 Soft Tissue Therapy

❓ FAQs About Whiplash

Q: Can whiplash heal without treatment?  A: It may improve on its own, but untreated whiplash often leads to chronic pain, headaches, or long-term nerve irritation.

Q: Should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?  A: Yes — chiropractors are trained to detect and treat spinal trauma from accidents.

Q: How soon should I get care after an injury?  A: The sooner, the better. Early treatment can prevent scar tissue and long-term damage.
