Whiplash, thus, is injury to the soft tissues of the neck caused by an impact. The most common reason is low speed crashes - in higher speed impacts the car absorbs more of the energy of the collision. Symptoms include neck pain, headaches and stiffness in the neck. Also, whiplash can result in mild concussion - anyone who experiences whiplash should be checked for a brain injury.

Chiropractic care is the best therapy for whiplash and should be done straight away. Our Redondo Beach chiropractor can get patients a prompt appointment for evaluation and a personalized recovery plan. Patients should consider a visit even if they have no symptoms, as whiplash symptoms sometimes do not show up right away and the person may be sure they are fine. (The same is true of related concussion symptoms - and any concussion symptoms such as fatigue, losing track of thought, mild confusion, etc, should be taken seriously. Chiropractic care can also help these symptoms improve).

Dr. Kaden D.C. can resolve your whiplash symptoms by using X-ray guided manipulation to restore balance to the neck and cervical spine. This will free up pinched nerves and encourage soft tissue repair.

People who have been in a low speed car accident should consider calling Kaden Chiropractic for a proper evaluation of whiplash and other problems that may result from the crash.
