Whiplash Treatment

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries sustained while playing a sport or during an auto accident. This injury frequently occurs as a result of the neck moving back and forth rapidly. For example, if you are in a rear-end car accident, your head may suddenly lurch back and forth violently. The pain may slowly manifest days after the accident, causing significant discomfort. Our team at Robin Wellness Center in Robbinsdale, MN, treats a variety of whiplash cases. If you are unsure if you are experiencing whiplash, schedule an appointment with one of our chiropractors for a diagnosis and treatment.

Whiplash Causes

While whiplash is frequently associated with auto accidents, this injury occurs as a result of other scenarios as well. They include:

• Physical abuse
• Physical assault
• Falls
• Sports accidents

No matter the cause of your symptoms, you need medical attention to ensure that you have the resources you need to heal.
