Whiplash, or neck strain, is an injury to the soft tissues of the neck. Sudden backward and forward movement usually causes whiplash,  and is often the result of rear-end auto accidents. Even a minor  accident bender can cause whiplash.  Often, the symptoms may not appear for a few days, or even a few months.

Your chiropractor is qualified to restore the health of your spine.  Chiropractic adjustments may relieve the pressure that is causing your neck pain. After locating the misaligned vertebrae in your back, your chiropractor manually applies gentle pressure and repositions the vertebrae. These adjustments can help restore alignment, improve mobility, and relieve neck pain and stiffness. Because they can help restore proper motion and position of individual spinal bones, special spinal adjustments can assist proper healing.
