Selecting a Conway and Loris Back Pain and Auto Accident chiropractor, doctor, and lawyer in a car accident or personal injury matter is a very important decision.

Have you or someone you know been injured in an auto accident and told it's whiplash? Such injuries are extremely painful and can be persistent. In fact, recovery is certain if the proper treatment is given. But pain, the most common symptom of whiplash, can become chronic if not given prompt attention.

During the first few days after an accident pain alerts the body to avoid movement. That's why the neck becomes stiff with inflammation and spasms occur. Pain can also involve the shoulders and arms. Fingers too, can "tingle" from pressure and pinching of nerves in the neck. Headaches are frequent complications to whiplash injury. A common result of car accidents and injuries involving motion, whiplash occurs when impact propels the head in one direction and muscles and tendons "snap" the head another way.

Common symptoms of Whiplash?
•   Headache that won't go away.
•   Neck pain and restriction of movement.
•   Tiredness and feelings of nervousness.
•   Trouble with balance, equilibrium.
•   Ringing in the ears.
•   Nausea.
•   Inability to sleep and excessive sweating.
•   Numbness in extremities.
•   Inability to concentrate or memory loss.

The doctors of Conway Health Care and Loris Chiropractic and Car Accident Center, South Carolina can establish a treatment plan for whiplash, chronic pain, or headaches resulting from auto accidents. The whiplash injury itself is never routine. However, it is sometimes overlooked by the family practitioner or emergency room doctor. Their training and experience leads them to immediate concern for shock, possible broken bones and mending of acute abrasions. Unless neck injury is readily apparent and victims express feelings of pain, whiplash can get low priority in the hospital emergency room. Also, symptoms can occur immediately or not present themselves for weeks or months following the event.

Chiropractic and Car Accident Center of Conway and Loris, South Carolina have treated car accident patients and whiplash injury patients from Conway and Loris, Carolina Forrest, Myrtle Beach and Tabor City.
