| PERSONAL INJURY |
WHAT IS WHIPLASH?
Personal injury is a term often used to
describe an injury most commonly
caused by a car accident. It may also
include other types of injury such as a
slip or fall. Whiplash is most commonly
associated with rear-end car collisions
in which the heads is suddenly
snapped back and forth by the impact.
It is more accurately called cervical
acceleration- deceleration (CAD)
syndrome, which describes the rapid
movements that can injure the
vertebrae of the neck and the muscles
and ligaments that support them.
WHO SUFFERS FROM WHIPLASH?
Anyone can be subjected to whiplash,
even in a low-force car crash at speeds
as low as 5mph. Injuries associated
with whiplash can also result from other
mishaps in which the head is pushed or
jerked beyond its normal range of
motion.

back pain, headaches and dizziness. Bruising of the brain can sometimes occur in
auto accidents and cause victims to experience blurred vision, ringing in the ears,
nausea and numbness.
WHAT CAN CHIROPRACTIC DO FOR YOU?
The sudden accident that caused the whiplash may fade into memory, but the physical
and psychological damage of whiplash can become chronic, eroding a victim's quality
of life. Chiropractors are well-suited in relieving neck or low back pain and other
