Whiplash affects over 3 million Americans each year. Chiropractic physician, Dr. Nikki Bechtol, covers everything you need to know about a whiplash injury. Watch our video to learn common causes, symptoms & treatment options for a safe recovery.

What is a Whiplash Injury?
Also referred to as cervical acceleration-deceleration syndrome (CAD), whiplash affects the neck and cervical spine. It is the sudden jerking of the neck which causes pain, stiffness & inflammation. The impact causes the upper vertebrae to over-flex & the vertebrae in the lower area of the neck to overextend.

What Causes Whiplash?
- Car Accidents (the most common cause)
- Contact Sports
- An Assault

What are the Symptoms?
For those with whiplash, a headache that starts in the neck is often the first symptom. Symptoms may be delayed for twenty-four hours or even a few days after the initial trauma. Other symptoms include stiffness, fatigue, dizziness, neck, shoulder & lower back pain.

How to Treat Whiplash:
- Rest
- Hot & Cold Therapy
- Neck Brace
- Physical Therapy
- Chiropractor

Why Wear a Neck Brace?
A neck brace, also known as a cervical collar, can keep your head stable as you recover. Neck braces are ideal for whiplash injuries because they limit the range of motion, reduce pain & support the jaw and neck.
