Whiplash
Diagnosis and Treatment of Neck, Shoulder and Back Injuries, Sprains, Strains and Muscle Injuries.
If you’ve been injured in any type of accident involving impact with another object—a motor vehicle accident, a workplace accident or even a sports-related accident, there’s a good possibility that you’ve suffered some level of whiplash injury. Whiplash happens when your head and neck are suddenly and violently thrust backward and then forward. Even if you were traveling at a relatively low speed when the accident occurred, whiplash can have a number of serious consequences:
- Tightness, pain or decreased range of motion in your neck
- Pain or discomfort when you try to look over your shoulder
- Inability to fully turn your head to the side
- Overall tenderness in your neck and shoulders
- Headaches that start at the base of your skull and radiate through your head
Studies show that chiropractic care has consistently proven effective in treating injuries caused by whiplash.
At Premier Health Center, with offices in Arlington, we provide comprehensive chiropractic care to individuals who have suffered whiplash injuries. With more than 20 years experience bringing pain relief to people throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, we know the pain management strategies that really work.
