Whiplash Symptoms and Treatment


Kosak Chiropractic is readily available to you when accidents happen unexpectedly, such as a whiplash injury due to a sporting mishap or auto accident. According to Mayo Clinic, “whiplash is a neck injury due to forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, like the cracking of a whip.” The sooner you come in to see your Fairfield chiropractor, the sooner we can get you on the road to recovery!




Symptoms of whiplash include:




- Neck pain and stiffness


- Worsening of pain with neck movement


- Loss of range of motion in the neck


- Headaches, most often starting at the base of the skull


- Tenderness or pain in the shoulder, upper back or arms


- Tingling or numbness in the arms


- Fatigue


- Dizziness


- Blurred vision


- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)


- Sleep disturbances


- Irritability


- Difficulty concentrating


- Memory problems


- Depression




We offer a variety of services to help manage pain and treat whiplash damage, such as chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, electric stimulation, and therapeutic ultrasound. If you are showing signs of whiplash for several days to a couple weeks after an accident, X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs are required to diagnose how severe the damage is.



Kosak Chiropractic is located on 1252 Travis Blvd., Suite G, in Fairfield, CA 94533. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please visit kosakchiropractic.com or call us at 707-426-1111.
