Whiplash can be very painful and debilitating. However, many people may be suffering with this problem and not realize they have been injured. Your Redondo Beach chiropractor is there to help with this kind of injury so you can feel better and rid yourself of the pain.

Whiplash refers to the forward and backward motion the upper body goes through when it is injured. For example, a car is sitting at a traffic light when another vehicle bumps it from behind. The occupants are knocked first toward the front, then to the rear in a whipping motion.

Whiplash damage happens so fast, and it takes less than a second to occur. There is no time for your body to prepare or brace itself for the accident. By the time you attempt to react, it is already over and soft tissue injures may have taken place.

You could feel just fine, after being in a traffic accident or you might notice a little tenderness or neck soreness. This kind of injury can take a long time to develop as inflammation gradually becomes more noticeable. In fact, several weeks later you might be in major pain, so it's best to see your chiropractic doctor to error on the side of caution. This way, you can document your injury should it cause problems later.

Chiropractic care can be very effective for neck injuries and many other problems. Your chiropractic professional provides a consultation and examination and this gives you the chance to discuss your problem at length. You also may need procedures like X-rays or MRI tests.

Your chiropractor in Redondo Beach focuses on the reason for your neck pain or headaches. He has many different therapy methods including gentle chiropractic adjustment to restore the cervical (neck) spine to its natural position. Your therapy is completely natural and does not include drugs or surgery.
