Neck and upper back pain after a car accident, treated with gentle corrective chiropractic care.
Whiplash happens when the head is thrown forward and back quickly, most often in an auto accident. The joints, muscles and ligaments of the neck can be strained, and the neck can end up out of alignment.
Drs. Ed & Sandie McCuiston at Touch of Life Chiropractic on Hayes Rd have treated neck injuries, including whiplash, for 26 years in Shelby Township.
A sore, tight neck that is hard to turn, sometimes starting a day or more after the accident.
Headaches that begin at the base of the skull and may travel up the head.
Tension through the shoulders and between the shoulder blades.
Pins and needles or numbness can mean a nerve in the neck is irritated.
We begin with a consultation, examination and X-rays to see how the neck and upper spine are sitting after the accident. From there, we build a corrective care plan around what we find, using gentle chiropractic adjustments rather than masking symptoms.
Dr. Ed McCuiston III, D.C. specializes in corrective and sports chiropractic and has cared for athletes up to Olympic level. Dr. Sandie is also available to see you, so the whole family can be cared for in one office.
Yes. Corrective chiropractic care is used to address neck misalignment and the muscle and joint strain that follow whiplash. We start with an examination and X-rays to see what is going on before recommending care.
Whiplash symptoms can show up a day or more after an accident, so it is worth getting your neck checked even if you feel okay at first. If you have severe pain, weakness or confusion, seek emergency care first.
Neck pain and stiffness, headaches, shoulder and upper back pain, tingling in the arms and trouble turning your head are the most common signs.
