People often get neck strains or sprains due to a number of reasons. This kind of injury is commonly referred to as whiplash. It is mostly associated with accidents, but any sudden jerking or blow to the head or neck or even the back can jolt the head forwards and cause strain on the vertebrae of the neck, resulting in the strain or sprain.

This sudden force that results to whiplash injuries can move the vertebrae out of alignment, strain the muscles or sprain the ligaments. There are different types of sprains and strains. Most people do not give so much attention to which type of whiplash injury they are suffering from since the symptoms and therapies are all the same. If they visit a chiropractor Dallas GA residents will get the help they need to relieve the symptoms of whiplash.

It is difficult to ignore the pain related to this kind of severe injury and trauma. The symptoms include difficulty in turning your head due to pain, experiencing pain in the neck muscles and facing challenges when moving your neck. You can also experience stiffness and tightness in the upper back muscles and neck.

There can also be pain when turning the head. This can be either to the left or right or up or down, and stretching the muscles of the jaw area. Tenderness in certain areas of the neck, back, or shoulders when touched or when gentle pressure is applied is a symptom as well.

Headaches might start at the lowest part of the skull and extend towards the jaw and to the front part of the head and can engulf the whole head in worse case scenarios. Many people immediately realize that their neck is hurt. They also realize that everything is not okay.

In some cases, the pain will take a week or a few days before it sets in. It is therefore important for you to immediately visit a Dallas GA chiropractor when injured or involved in a car accident. This applies particularly if you are involved in a car accident or suffer sport related injuries.
