Whiplash and Neck Pain Treatment

If you've recently been in an auto accident or sustained a head or neck injury, it's possible that you're experiencing whiplash. This condition can be tough to diagnose, but it can be important to seek treatment to mitigate potential lasting effects. At Dabbs Rehab Center of Maryland in Columbia, MD, our team is here to help you get back to feeling your best after a car accident.

What Causes Whiplash?

When a car accident occurs, your head, neck, and shoulders do not have the time necessary to brace before impact. This means that your head, neck, and shoulders can move unnaturally, which can lead to overstretched or strained muscles in the neck, shoulders, and head.

When to See a Chiropractor after an Auto Accident

It might be useful to see a chiropractor right away after you experience a car accident, even if you aren't experiencing symptoms. Whiplash may be more easily treated before symptoms occur and some people who experience whiplash do not show symptoms until a few days after their car accident.

Your Personalized Treatment Plan

When you come into our office for your first appointment, we'll talk with you about your symptoms and health history to ensure that chiropractic care is the right fit for your needs. From there, a chiropractor will talk with you about your personalized treatment plan. While your treatment plan will depend on your unique circumstances, many of our patients who have experienced car accidents might find relief from pain and the symptoms of whiplash with treatments including chiropractic adjustment, spinal decompression, stretching, strengthening exercises, and more. We'll talk with you about how often you'll need to schedule adjustments to ensure that your body continues to heal.
