Have you ever seen someone crack a whip? Just imagine doing that with your head and neck. That is what occurs when you suffer from whiplash. Your body was not meant to withstand the forceful thrust forward and back of your head without sustaining injury. Whiplash often occurs after an auto accident, especially if you are hit from behind. What can you do if you feel you have a whiplash injury? Consult our chiropractor at Druzbik Family Chiropractic in Statesville, NC, for excellent chiropractic care.

Symptoms of Whiplash

One of the tricky things about whiplash is that it may not exhibit symptoms for weeks, even months, after an auto accident. You may feel fine immediately afterward, but you still have adrenaline pumping through your veins. You may wake up one day with a stiff neck or notice that day-to-day activities you usually perform without pain may begin to cause you pain. You may notice other symptoms such as:

• Pain in your neck or shoulders
• Limited mobility
• Feelings of anxiety
• Unusual fatigue
• Memory loss
• Muscle spasms
• Stiffness in your neck
