Our Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch Chiropractors Provide Whiplash Treatment

A doctor of chiropractic is often one of the first healthcare professionals consulted following a whiplash injury. At Lakewood Ranch Chiropractic in Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Dr. John Nichols and his team have been helping people recover from whiplash injuries for over 10 years.

What is Whiplash?

Whiplash is a common injury sustained during an auto accident or some other physical trauma, including sports- or work-related injuries. The sudden high bending forces imposed on the neck when a person's body is jolted forward and back can damage several structures within the spine. Severity and type of symptoms can vary significantly, but most commonly include:

• Headache, migraine, dizziness
• Pain and stiffness of neck, shoulders, and back
• Numbness and tingling
• Muscle spasms and soreness
• Impaired sleeping and mental focus

Whiplash symptoms often don't appear until days or even weeks following an auto accident, so it's important to see our chiropractor as soon as possible to ensure healing can begin.
