π Car Accidents & Whiplash: Why Early Chiropractic Care Matters
Even a minor car accident can leave lasting effects on your body. Whiplash β a sudden jolt to the neck β is one of the most common injuries after a crash, but symptoms donβt always appear straight away.
At Align and Restore Chiropractic in Pascoe Vale, we help patients recover from whiplash and other accident-related injuries so they can heal properly and avoid long-term issues.
π What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash occurs when your head is suddenly forced backward and forward β like the cracking of a whip. This can cause:

π€― Headaches
𦡠Tingling or numbness in arms
π΄ Fatigue or poor sleep
β οΈ Why Symptoms Can Be Delayed
After an accident, adrenaline can mask pain. Some people donβt notice symptoms for days or even weeks, which is why itβs so important to get checked early.
