Research Shows Chiropractic Care Effective (Part 2)

Common Whiplash Symptoms

Following a car accident, or a slip or blow to the body, a person who has immediate symptoms is actually lucky because they seek treatment. Unfortunately, symptoms of whiplash injuries often do not appear for several days, weeks, or even month or years.

Common whiplash symptoms include:

• Headache
• Fatigue
• Shoulder pain or stiffness
• Pain between shoulder blades

• Difficulty swallowing
• Ringing in the ears
• Dizziness or vertigo
• Nausea
