LinkedInFacebookInstagramXPinterestYoutube

Whiplash is the most common injury sustained by car accident victims. Although most cases of Whiplash see accident victims recover with time, the potential to develop into other debilitating conditions or permanent damage does exist if left untreated.

Consider the following information that highlights what signs and symptoms you should look for after an accident, as well as what treatment options are available.

Signs and Symptoms

The typical results of Whiplash injury sees patients experience one or more of the following symptoms:

  • Mild to severe neck pain
  • Significant stiffness and inflammation
  • Pain that transfers into the shoulders and between each shoulder blade
  • Arm pain
  • Back pain
  • Muscle pain
  • Muscle spasms
  • Recurring headache
  • Dizziness or vertigo
  • Difficulty concentrating or focusing
  • Numbness or pins and needles sensations
  • Fatigue or insomnia
  • Tenderness

 

There are other symptoms associated with Whiplash and it is highly recommended to have an experienced orthopedic doctor diagnose your condition immediately after an accident. Early diagnosis and treatment are the only way to prevent various health conditions from developing over time. The goal of our Atlanta orthopedic doctors is to help patients and accident victims experience fast, safe recoveries.

Orthopedic Treatment For Whiplash Injury

Treatment depends on the extent of each individual’s injury, as well as other unique characteristics dedicated to their personal health and history. For minor cases of Whiplash, a combination of rest, ice therapy, and mild anti-inflammatory medications will likely provide relief.

For severe cases, additional treatment will be necessary to recover. This may include physical therapy or epidural steroid injections to address stiffness and inflammation.

Yesterday was my last day at AICA College Park since my accident in December, there is so much to say about the people who work here and the level of customer service, care, attention, friendliness, and overall amazing atmosphere that they provide. Location is perfect in College Park, right off the highway and in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The entire staff, from the front desk girls, to the physical therapy girls, to the chiros, and the medical team are AMAZING! I feel like I just lost my friends not being able to visit them twice a week every week. I will definitely miss coming here. All the smiles and warm welcomes received. The physical therapy - asking about my day, if everything is okay and helping my back and neck get better. I had the pleasure of having Dr. Hector as my chiropractor, he is awesome, was very helpful in the healing process and also a native Spanish speaker which is a plus for those of us who do speak Spanish. Before coming to AICA, I tried another injury clinic in ATL and walked out after 5 mins - so impersonal and cold. I am so glad that I found AICA in College Park. Trust me, if you are injured and need some healing and TLC you NEED to come to this clinic! Highly recommend to everyone. Thank you again to the guys and girls at AICA - xo Ms. Colon
