We treat a lot of patients at Marcum Chiropractic with whiplash, but what really is whiplash? Whiplash is a neck injury due to forceful back and forth movements of the neck, like the cracking of a whip. Whiplash is commonly caused by rear end car accidents, but can be caused in car accidents of all manners.
Whiplash can also be caused by sports accidents, physical abuse, and other types of trauma, such as slip and falls. Symptoms of whiplash include neck pain and stiffness, decreased range of motion, headaches, shoulder, upper back, and arm pain, tingling and numbness into the arms and hands, fatigue, dizziness, and many others.
If you have any of these or have been involved in a car accident, or any type of trauma for that matter, come into Marcum Chiropractic. We will evaluate and treat you and get you back doing the things you love. We’re here for you Portland. See you soon.
