Should I see a chiropractor after whiplash?

Yes, seeing a chiropractor after whiplash makes sense, because whiplash is exactly the kind of injury chiropractic care is built for. The rapid back and forth motion of a crash strains the muscles and ligaments in your neck and irritates the joints, which is what leaves you stiff, sore, and dealing with headaches. Care focuses on restoring motion, calming irritated tissue, and keeping scar tissue from locking things down. Waiting it out often means the stiffness settles in. At Muskingum County Accident & Injury Center in Zanesville, Dr. Byus checks how your neck is moving, finds the restricted segments, and builds a plan around them. If something needs imaging or another specialist, he will tell you.
