Winter roads in Pooler, GA can turn treacherous in seconds—leading to an increase in rear-end accidents and sudden stops. At Advanced Alternative Medicine Center, we often treat patients who don’t realize they’ve suffered a whiplash injury until days or even weeks after the event. But prompt care can make all the difference.
What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash refers to the sudden back-and-forth movement of the neck that often occurs during collisions or falls. It’s a soft tissue injury affecting muscles, ligaments, discs, and sometimes even nerves or vertebrae. Pain may show up immediately—or creep in slowly over time.
Common Symptoms of Whiplash
- Neck stiffness and soreness
- Headaches (often at the base of the skull)
- Shoulder, upper back, or arm pain
- Dizziness or blurred vision
- Fatigue, irritability, or difficulty concentrating
- Jaw discomfort or ringing in the ears
Some symptoms may resolve quickly, while others can persist for months or years without proper care. Don’t ignore the signs—especially if they worsen with movement or don’t improve.
