Don’t Ignore Symptoms After An Auto Accident in Orlando, FL
Whiplash is a tricky thing. The symptoms of whiplash can seem unrelated and can come on gradually after an auto accident occurs. This means that many people who suffer from whiplash may be unaware of their condition for a long time. At Rumley Family Chiropractic, we want all our patients to be aware of the symptoms of whiplash, so that they can get the help they need after an accident.
Whiplash Symptoms Span A Range
Some symptoms of whiplash are expected and seem logical, such as:
- Back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Neck pain
- Tenderness
- Stiffness
- Limited range of motion
These symptoms occur because car accidents can strain the muscles and vertebrae in the neck, impeding the ordinary function of the spine. Still, whiplash can affect so many more systems of the body—not just the neck. Here are a few other ways that whiplash presents itself to car accident victims:
- Insomnia
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Poor memory function
- Irritability/Moodiness
Many people who experience these symptoms don’t even realize that they’re related to their whiplash.
