What is Whiplash? 
Whiplash in the dictionary says:
injury caused by a severe jerk to the head, typically in a motor-vehicle accident.​
Verb
jerk or jolt (someone or something) suddenly, typically so as to cause injury

The dictionary is correct that is exactly what whiplash is.  One of the biggest problem with being in a auto accident and getting whiplash is now the whiplash injury itself, but the lack of knowledge about the injury.  Most of the time when someone is involved in a minor finder binder or minor auto accident there is no obvious injury at the scene  of the accident. Some may start to feel minor discomfort or pain days after the accident and not realize that is in fact whiplash symptoms.  Whiplash can occur minutes or days after the incident and can effect you for years and years if not properly treated with chiropractic whiplash treatment. Whiplash injuries, however mostly common in auto accident victims, specifically drivers and passengers in a vehicle that was rear ended. Because whiplash injuries occur when there is a rapid backwards motion of the head putting the neck in hyper-extension and then a rapid forwards motion of the head almost instantly. If you have been in a car accident recently chances are all of your treatment is covered at no cost to you. Fill out the form and we will contact you to see if you are covered for no cost whiplash treatment. (Whiplash treatment is covered in the auto insurance claim of the auto accident to all involved, in most cases.)

Other ways bedsides auto accidents when whiplash injury can occur.

• Head Banging: When is the last time you took the night off to go party and enjoy some good music? If you find yourself listening to punk rock or heavy metal you have probably tried the famous head banging move. Now if headbanging gets away from you and you find your headache is more than a hangover you may want to visit a chiropractor for treatment of a head bang whiplash injury.
• Slip and Slide: Slipping and falling can happen to anyone and when the ground is slick and you fall right on the ice you slipped on you may be more concerned about your bruised tail bone than the headache that appeared the next day (Whiplash Headache)
• Put'm Up: Weather you are fighting in a boxing match or you found yourself in an altercation outside the ring fighting is almost a sure way to walk away with a whiplash injury. Fighting is taking blows to your body, face and head that can result in a serious whiplash injury and other injuries as well. Abuse is not fighting but it is taking force to your body that can cause your neck to be forced backwards and forwards. Even if your abuser did not punch or slap you being grabbed, pushed or shoved can result in a whiplash injury. If you have experienced this please get looked at by a chiropractor and if the abuse continues please reach out to the National Abuse Hotline 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)
