7 Signs You May Have Whiplash
Whiplash is a common auto injury. When you are rear-ended in an auto accident, the force can cause your head to snap backwards and forwards very quickly. This can damage the delicate muscles and vertebrae of the cervical spine, causing whiplash.
Symptoms of whiplash and other auto injuries may not show up for days or even weeks after your auto accident. That is why it’s so important to visit First Choice Chiropractic in Glendale as soon as you’ve been in an auto accident.

If you exhibit these symptoms hours, days, or even weeks after being in a car accident, you should visit First Choice Chiropractic for evaluation and treatment:
- Neck pain and tenderness (and even back pain)
- Neck stiffness
- Loss of range of motion in the neck
- Shoulder pain or tenderness
- Fatigue or trouble sleeping
- Headaches or dizziness
- Tingling or numbness in your arms
