Trusted Whiplash Chiropractor
Car accident victims often suffer severe pain, which negatively affects their work life and day to day living. If left untreated or an ineffective treatment is undertaken, symptoms can get worse and the recovery process can take much longer. One of the most common auto accident injuries is whiplash. This is because it only takes a 2.5 mile-per-hour change in speed to injure the neck, so even the most minor auto accident can result in whiplash.
The problem with whiplash from a car accident is that in many circumstances you will not notice any pain at first. But once the micro-tears from the whiplash start to swell, you will start to experience some or all of the following symptoms:
- Severe, frequent headaches
- Blurred vision
- Neck pain, swelling, stiffness or spasms
- Shoulder, arm and/or low back pain
- Numbness in hands or legs
- Dizziness
- Jaw tightness
- Trouble concentrating
- Reduced range of motion in the neck
- Ringing in ears
- Vision problems
Since it may take time for you to begin experiencing symptoms, it’s important to visit a car accident chiropractor, such as Dr. Quigley, for an evaluation. It’s best to rule out any injury or identify it and start treatment immediately to ensure a fast recovery.

What Our Patients
Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Why do I have pain in my arms and hands?
Because the nerves to the arms and hands exit the spine through the injured area of the neck, numbness and tingling are common. Even lower back pain can result directly from the trauma, or as a reaction to the loss of proper spinal curves.
- Why did my headaches start more than a week after my accident?
Whether you’ve been in an accident, stressed at work, or over-exerted yourself in the garden, your body is constantly adapting to the environment. When your capacity to adapt is exhausted, symptoms can appear. This can take days, weeks, months or years to occur.
- Why do minor collisions cause so much trauma to the spine?
Without getting into the laws of physics, the simple explanation is that in a more forceful automobile accident, the car itself absorbs much of the energy. In the more common parking lot “fender benders”, the energy is more directly transferred to the driver and passengers.
- Can I prevent a whiplash injury?
Since car accidents are the major cause of whiplash injuries, defensive driving skills can help. Be sure your taillights and turn signals are properly working. Allow enough stopping distance in front of you. When you slow down or stop, always check your rear view mirror to see if the driver behind you is paying attention.
