Whiplash Care in Calgary SW
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries following a car accident, sports collision, or sudden fall. It occurs when the head is forcefully moved backward and then forward, placing strain on the neck and upper spine. Precision Spinal Care in Calgary SW offers natural care to help patients recover from whiplash, reduce discomfort, and regain mobility.
Causes and Effects of Whiplash
Whiplash is considered a soft tissue injury that affects the muscles, ligaments, and joints in the neck. While rear-end motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause, whiplash can also result from contact sports, slips and falls, and sudden movements that push the neck beyond its normal range of motion.
Because symptoms don’t always appear right away, it’s important to monitor how you feel after an impact and seek care if symptoms arise.
What Are the Symptoms?
Whiplash symptoms may appear immediately or several hours later. Common signs include:
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Headaches (often starting at the base of the skull)
- Limited neck mobility
- Shoulder or upper back pain
- Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms
- Dizziness, fatigue, or difficulty concentrating
Without proper care, these issues may persist or worsen over time.
