Whiplash is the name given to pain in the head and neck associated with a rapid stop that occurs (most often) during car accidents. Whiplash is also very common in contact sports, especially football.

Significant whiplash can occur in collisions less than 20mph. Symptoms can include:
    1. Headaches
    2. Concussions
    3. Neck pain
    4. Shoulder tension
    5. Numbness in the arms and hands

    This trauma can also lead to changes in the alignment of the neck; predisposing a person to early degeneration also called Arthritis.
    Degeneration isn't caused by aging - its wear and tear on the joints caused by improper alignment.

What can you do?
    Early treatment is the best option. A combination of Chiropractic Adjustments, muscle therapy, and rehab exercise can help you overcome the injuries.

    Pain isn't an indicator of damage. Always make sure to be evaluated following a car accident regardless  of how you feel. A minor whiplash could start a degenerative process that later causes pain.
    At that point its much harder to correct.
