What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden back-and-forth motion of the head, most often after a rear-end car accident. The quick movement can strain the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck. Symptoms sometimes show up hours or even a day after the crash, so it is worth getting checked even if you feel fine at first.
Common Whiplash and Auto Injury Symptoms
People with whiplash often notice neck pain and stiffness, reduced range of motion, headaches that start at the base of the skull, and tightness in the shoulders or upper back. Some also feel tingling in the arms. If you have severe pain, numbness, weakness, or any head injury, seek emergency medical care first, since those signs need a doctor right away.
How Chiropractic Care Helps After a Car Accident
Dr. Franson examines your neck first to understand the injury, then uses gentle adjustments to restore normal motion and ease the muscle tension that builds up after a crash. Care is non-invasive and drug-free. If your case needs imaging or a referral, he will tell you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a chiropractor help with whiplash?
Yes. Chiropractic care is a common, non-surgical option for whiplash. Dr. Franson uses gentle adjustments to restore neck motion and reduce the muscle tension that follows a collision. He examines you first to confirm the care is appropriate.
How soon after a car accident should I see a chiropractor?
Sooner is usually better, even if pain is mild, because whiplash symptoms can be delayed. Getting evaluated early helps identify the injury and start gentle care. If you have any emergency signs, go to an emergency room first.
Do I need an appointment for auto injury care?
No. Franson Chiropractic is a walk-in clinic, so you can come in during open hours without booking ahead. You can call (281) 701-1596 first to check the wait.
How much does whiplash treatment cost?
A chiropractic adjustment is $49, with no appointment and no membership. Call (281) 701-1596 with any questions.
Why do whiplash symptoms show up a day later?
Soft-tissue injuries can take time to become painful as inflammation builds, which is why neck pain or headaches sometimes appear the day after a crash. That delay is normal, and it is a good reason to get checked even if you felt okay at the scene.
When should I see a medical doctor instead?
Seek emergency care right away for severe head pain, confusion, numbness, weakness, or loss of consciousness after an accident. Chiropractic care is for musculoskeletal recovery and is not a substitute for emergency treatment of serious injuries.
