Orlando Chiropractor says that each year, 2 million people suffer from whiplash related to car accidents in the United States.Many rear impact car accidents result in a condition called “whiplash”. This forces the bones of the lower cervical spine (the neck) into hyper-extension (backward bending motion) while the bones of the upper neck are suddenly thrust into hyper-flexion (forward bending motion). A sudden, adnormal motion to a sensitive region like the neck causes damage to the soft tissue (ligaments and muscles) of the cervical spine. This leads to inflammation and pain.

The most common symptoms related to whiplash include:
* Headaches
* Neck pain and stiffness
* Shoulder pain
* Dizziness
* Jaw pain
* Arm pain/ weakness/ tingling
* Back pain

Studies strongly support the use of stretching/ strengthening exercises and mobilizations. Also, treatment with Chiropractic care and Physical Therapy was less expensive in the long run and reduces long-term disability compared to other treatment options.

Orlando Chiropractor says exercise plays a big role in recovery. Simple neck and shoulder exercises are safe and effective. Stretching, strengthening and coordinating exercises should be done regularly each day. Some soreness after exercise is to be expected, and is not a cause for concern.

Chiropractic care and Physical Therapy have been shown to be the best choice to decrease pain, improve mobility and help you return to your normal daily activities after a car accident.
