According to the Georgia Department of Transportation there are over 300,000 car accidents that occur in Georgia each year with 130,000 of these causing injuries. In Tennessee, there are over 150,000 traffic accidents that occur each year with over 60,000 causing injury. The most common injury that occurred in a car accident is whiplash. Whiplash is caused by a sudden movement of the head, backward, forward, or sideways. That action is what results in the damage to the supporting muscles, ligaments and other connective soft tissue.

Understanding Whiplash Symptoms 

Whiplash injuries can be deceiving. Symptoms may not occur right away, appearing anywhere from a few hours, to a few days after the collision. In fact, seconds after a collision occurs, your adrenal gland releases adrenaline and cortisol into your bloodstream. These hormones are able to mask pain so your body can react to what the brain perceives as danger, it is a natural fight or flight mechanism. If you've been in an accident, especially if you were rear-ended, you must seek medical attention immediately. A car accident is a traumatic event and our doctors can help diagnose your condition to help you out of pain quickly.

Common Symptoms of Whiplash Injuries

Symptoms of Whiplash can vary widely based upon the person involved in the accident and exactly where the impact took place, but common ones we see at our Georgia and Tennessee Whiplash Clinics are:

• Tightness and Spasm in the Neck and Upper Back
• Localized Pain in the Neck itself
• Upper Back Pain
• Burning and Tingling Sensations in the Neck and going down the arms into the fingers
• Dizziness, Headaches, and Migraines
• Shoulder Pain
• TMJ and Jaw Pain
• Vertigo
• Insomnia
• Anxiety
• Depression

Diagnosising Your Whiplash Trauma

Our Personal Injury Physicians will assess whether your Whiplash Injury warrants hospitalization, and will specifically test which tissues and spinal structures have been damaged due to the car accident impact.

The exam will assess the spinal joints' mobility and pain response and typically includes:

• X-rays and their review
• Cranial Nerve Examination
• Reflex Testing
• Motor skill tests
• Motion Palpation and Compression testing

What Should You Expect During Your First Visit At The Office?

In preparation for your Free Whiplash Injury Consultation, you will be asked to complete forms that provide background information about your medical history, condition, and symptoms you are currently experiencing.

Some of the questions included are:

• When and how did the pain start?
• Where is it located?
• What activities or circumstances make it better or worse?
• Did the pain start as a result of an injury? It is crucial to know if the physical damage resulted directly from the Car Accident.
• Describe the pain - is it sharp, dull, burning, or throbbing? Does it come and go, or is it continual?

How our Whiplash Injury Clinics Treat Your Condition 

There is not one method that’s most effective for every whiplash patient.  In fact, research has shown that incorporating more than one method of treatment is the most effective, fastest way to recovery. We achieve these results not through the use of harmful narcotics or other dangerous muscle relaxers but with the use of natural therapies such as:

• Spinal Decompression: uses intermittent spinal traction to take stress off injured vertebral joints while simultaneously hydrating your discs
• Chiropractic Adjustments: to facilitate proper motion in the joints and correct misalignments in the spinal column
• Electrical Stimulation: to reduce muscular and nerve pain in localized areas
• Proper Postural Education: the most powerful concept is an appropriate alignment of your spine. By keeping your head, neck, upper body and lower back aligned during movement and at rest, relieves stress on the neck.
• Therapeutic Neck Stretches and Exercises: to improve muscle strength and range of motion our doctor will show you exercises and stretches to practice at home to improve your chances of a quick recovery.
