Whiplash

The term whiplash represents a range of injuries to the neck caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck.

Whiplash is commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents, usually when the vehicle has been hit in the rear, however the injury can be sustained in many other ways, including; falls from bicycles or horses, during a roller coaster ride or during sports, like skiing accidents.

Whiplash

SYMPTOMS

The injury itself is usually a tear/stress of soft tissues in the neck caused by sudden, forceful movement. Symptoms may occur immediately, or the injury may not be recognized until hours or even days after the trauma occurred. A whiplash injury victim may experience one or more of a variety of symptoms: muscle spasms, cervical spine pain, headaches, shoulder/neck pain, nausea, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, dizziness, concussion, limited range of motion, numbness, or reduced ability to hold the head erect.

The extent of the injury depends upon not only the severity of the actual accident, but of any potentially complicating factors experienced before the accident, such as a previous spinal injury or surgery, advanced age, congenital spinal problems, etc.

RECOVERY TIME

Again, it depends on the factors mentioned above: severity of injury, treatment required, and length of time between accident and professional evaluation. On your first visit to the clinic we will perform a number of tests which will help us estimate the time of recovery. By determining the appropriate level of treatment, recovery time is kept to a minimum.

We have dealt with whiplash cases many times and have good relationships with local lawyers and insurance companies. Give us a call or pop into our Chiropractors Cambridge clinic, we would love to help.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peter has been fantastic with helping me heal a hip and lower back problem that has been bothering me for years. What I have really appreciated is the knowledge that I have gained about my body during this process, the exercises that are now a part of my routine, that I know I can use to mediate any flare ups. It has deepened my awareness of pain in that area and what I need to do if I feel a twinge. The treatment at the beginning when I was in a lot of pain, immediately relieved it and it feels like we have collaborated in this healing process which can only have made it more effective. Peter listens really well, is informative, professional and has a warm kind energy about him, I highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I suddenly developed a really bad back problem whilst cycling, to the point where I could hardly move. Not knowing what to do, I contacted Fornham Chiropractic Clinic and saw Ben.

Ben was brilliant from the start. He was very thorough, always checking how things were improving and adjusting the treatment as I progressed. He took the time to explain what was going on, what was working and what we needed to do next. He also considered how my back was affecting my work and the activities I enjoy outside of work.

I always felt he genuinely cared about getting me back to normal and that I was in very good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
