Whiplash & How to Treat It

Did you know that an auto accident injury can occur even if the accident happened at a slow speed? One of the most common injuries suffered after a wreck is whiplash. Whiplash is the result of your head being thrown forward and then snapped backward. You may suffer from neck and shoulder pain, stiffness, loss of range of motion, fatigue, dizziness, blurry vision, headaches, and even tingling in your arms as a result. Whiplash usually isn't serious, but you don't want to live with pain. At Lally Chiropractic Clinic in Yakima, WA, we can help provide pain relief from a “chiropractor near me” at our “chiropractic office near me.”

When Should I See a Chiropractor?

You can visit us soon after getting into the accident. Even if you aren't feeling any pain in your neck or shoulders, damage could have been done that may show up days or weeks later. During your initial visit, a chiropractor on our chiropractic care team will do an exam and then talk to you about the details of the accident, your overall health, and your job, lifestyle, and diet. While the accident may have caused the injury, other areas of your life may perpetuate the injury if not addressed.

How We Can Help

We aim to get to the root of the pain, not just cover it up with medication. We offer chiropractic adjustments to help realign your spine and promote blood flow so healing can begin. To keep your body in balance, we may also show you corrective exercises that can be done at home. We can also use massage therapy to help heal and relax deep tissue. Poor posture can exasperate neck pain, so we can also provide postural screenings to prevent pain from returning.
