Your spine not only supports your body but also protects the spinal cord and the entire nervous system. When it experiences sudden force or rapid movement, the effects can be felt far beyond the neck itself.
One of the most common injuries following a car accident or abrupt impact is whiplash.
Whiplash occurs when the head is quickly snapped backward and forward, overstretching the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck. This can lead to symptoms such as neck pain, headaches, dizziness, stiffness, tingling in the arms, or even changes in posture. But what many people don’t realize is that whiplash can also impact the entire spine.
Because the spine works as one unified system, a sudden injury in the neck can create compensatory shifts throughout the back and shoulders. These imbalances can lead to long-term discomfort if not properly addressed.
If you’ve experienced an accident or are noticing lingering symptoms, a thorough spinal evaluation can identify hidden misalignments and support the healing process. 💙
