Whiplash Holding You Back?
Get the Relief You Needed Yesterday, Today
If you’ve been to a theme park or gotten onto a rollercoaster ride, it’s likely that you’ve at least been warned about the dangers of whiplash. Known as Cervical Acceleration-Deceleration (CAD) syndrome amongst medical professionals, whiplash happens when your neck and head are suddenly forced backward and then forward. This forceful motion puts your cervical spine through lightning-quick motions and extreme stresses that your body is ill-equipped to handle on its own.
Sources of Whiplash Injuries Include:
Although most of the cases of whiplash we see are caused by auto accidents where our patient has been rear-ended, there are a variety of ways that you could get a whiplash injury.

Keep in mind that whiplash can also be caused by falls that occur during skiing, snowboarding, and other high-impact activities like equestrian.
Why You Need a Chiropractor for Whiplash?
The most common symptom of whiplash is neck pain. This pain can range from a mild, “pins and needles” tingle to debilitating pain that can detract from your day-to-day living. Often, your whiplash pain will be accompanied by other symptoms, including stiffness or instability in your neck, a reduced range of motion, chronic headaches and shoulder or upper back pain. Some patients have also reported tingling sensations, numbness and weakness radiating from their neck into their shoulder and even down to their arms.
