Car accidents and workplace injuries are both common causes of whiplash; this condition is also one of the most commonly treated in chiropractic offices across the country and our Tacoma chiropractor is here to help. Here at Proctor Chiropractic, treatment for whiplash is one of our many areas of expertise.

What is Whiplash?

Whiplash refers to a condition that affects the spine, causing ligaments to tear. Whiplash is typically caused when the body is thrown forward after a sudden impact, such as during an auto accident. The force of the impact causes the spine to slam forward, thus tearing ligaments and causing stress on the spine.

The symptoms of whiplash usually don't appear until a couple days or more after the incident. However, symptoms often include pain in the back and neck, tingling or numbness, and sudden headaches. In untreated cases, symptoms can worsen to include fatigue, confusion, and dizziness/vertigo.
