Coping with Whiplash: Understanding Symptoms, Treatments, and Recovery


Whiplash symptoms include:

  • discomfort in your neck and shoulder muscles.

  • A tingling or numb feeling running down your arms.

  • Headache.

  • Neck and joint stiffness.

The impact of a rear end collision can thrust the head and neck with such a jolt causing a large strain on muscles and ligaments adding added stress to your spine.

Whiplash symptoms begin almost immediately after an accident. You;ll know if you have whiplash the discomfort and pain will be unbearable and you will require the attention of a pain doctor that specializes in car accident injuries.

Your doctor will probably prescribe physical therapy. A pain management physician will set up a treatment program that will include stimulation of your joints and muscles as well including ensure that your cervical spine is properly aligned.

If you have recently been injured in a car accident and are experiencing symptoms such as numbness or tingling, pain shooting down the arm, blurry vision, buzzing sounds, or dizziness, contact a medical doctor immediately to schedule and appointment for proper treatment. Not just any doctor will do.
