What to Do If You Have Whiplash From a Car Accident
The signs and symptoms of whiplash may not present immediately after a car accident. Many auto accident victims don’t realize they have whiplash days or weeks later. This is why it is so crucial to visit Total Care Injury & Pain Centers immediately after a car accident, so you can see if you need whiplash treatment or other chiropractic care.
Take Note of Your Symptoms and Their Severity
The most common symptoms of whiplash are neck pain and stiffness, pain that gets worse when you try to move your neck, and a loss of range of motion in the neck. If you have any of these symptoms, you should visit Total Care Injury & Pain Centers for whiplash treatment.
Some symptoms of whiplash are more severe, and should be evaluated as soon as possible, including blurred vision, tinnitus, trouble sleeping, eating, or concentrating, memory problems, irritability, and depression.
Don’t Delay Seeking Whiplash Treatment
Even if you don’t think your symptoms are severe, they can become worse over time and even lead to chronic or permanent problems. You may also be suffering from other underlying injuries from your auto accident that you aren’t even aware of. Our chiropractor at Total Care Injury & Pain Centers can do a full evaluation and determine if you have any underlying conditions that require treatment.
Follow Your Chiropractor's Advice to Avoid Complications
Once you have visited Total Care Injury & Pain Centers for whiplash treatment, your journey to wellness is just beginning. Be sure to follow our chiropractors’ advice so that you don’t worsen your injury or suffer permanent disability. You are more likely to suffer from complications, including chronic pain, if you don’t seek whiplash treatment quickly enough, have had it before, are elderly, have existing back or neck pain, or were in a high-speed accident.
