Whiplash
A common injury sustained from an auto accident is known as a whiplash injury to the neck. Whiplash is a neck injury typically sustained in a rear-end car accident that causes a rapid back and forth movement of the neck.
This can result in a sprain or strain of the muscles, joints, and ligaments surrounding the neck and/or chronic headaches.
Typically, whiplash type of injuries have a good prognosis with chiropractic care. Our goal at Mt. Lookout Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center is to get you out of pain quickly and back to doing what you love.
