Whiplash Treatment in Tucson, AZ
Gentle Chiropractic Care After a Rear-End Collision
If you’ve been involved in a rear-end car accident, you may be feeling the effects of whiplash, a soft tissue injury caused by the rapid back-and-forth motion of the neck. Even low-speed collisions can result in neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and reduced mobility. At Ornelas Chiropractic, we offer gentle, non-invasive treatment for whiplash injuries to help you feel better and heal faster.
What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a soft tissue injury to the neck that commonly occurs during auto accidents. The sudden jolt from a collision can strain or tear muscles, tendons, and ligaments, leading to pain that may not show up until hours or days later. Without treatment, whiplash can result in long-term discomfort or chronic neck problems.
Common Symptoms of Whiplash:
-
Neck pain or stiffness
-
Limited range of motion
-
Headaches (especially at the base of the skull)
-
Shoulder or upper back pain
-
Tingling or numbness in the arms
-
Dizziness or fatigue
-
Pain that worsens with movement
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms after a crash, it’s important to get evaluated, even if the accident seemed minor.
