5 Commonly Asked Questions About Chiropractic Care For Whiplash
1. What is whiplash?
Whiplash is any sudden stop of forward momentum to your head and neck. When this happens, injury to soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, muscles and fascia can occur creating sudden or delayed pain. This may manifest as headaches, neck pain and tension pain.
2. If I experienced an auto accident in Chesapeake, how soon should I visit the chiropractor?
As soon as possible following your accident. You may not experience any pain following your injury, yet you should still see us as soon as possible in the event that you sustained an injury. Pain may also be delayed. If you come to see our Chesapeake chiropractor just following your accident, we may be able to prevent pain from setting in.
3. What type of chiropractic care is for whiplash?
Your treatment will depend upon your personal situation. We strive to create treatment plans that are suited for each individual. In most cases similar treatments used in regular chiropractic care will be used for whiplash. This may include decompression care.

We may suggest the use of massage therapy to help reduce tension in your neck or reduce headaches. Massage may also help complement your regular chiropractic adjustments. We may also suggest therapeutic exercises to continue your healing.
