After an accident some injuries may be very noticeable, such as cuts, laceration, or broken bones. However, there are some injuries that can occur during the crash but might not be noticeable until hours or days later. Whiplash is a common car accident injury that occurs from the sudden push forward and the quick jerk backwards when the car is involved in a collision. The typical symptoms of whiplash include:

  • Dizziness

  • Headaches

  • Irritability

  • Blurred vision

  • Stiffness in the neck

  • A tingling feeling in the extremities
     

If you believe you experienced whiplash during a collision, seeing a chiropractor early on may help reduce the swelling and minimize pain.
