Neck pain, stiffness or headaches after a car crash? Whiplash symptoms can take days to show up. Get your neck examined at our Dallas or Lewisville clinic.
Yes, for many people. Whiplash is a neck injury caused by fast back and forth movement of the head, most often in rear-end crashes. A chiropractor examines your neck, checks how it moves and builds a plan that can include gentle adjustments, soft tissue work and exercises. Severe pain, numbness or weakness needs emergency care first.
Symptoms usually show up within a few days of the injury, according to Mayo Clinic. That is why it pays to get checked even if you felt fine at the scene.

Symptoms usually appear within a few days of the injury. Some people feel fine at the scene and notice neck stiffness or headaches a day or two later.
If you have severe pain, numbness, weakness or signs of a head injury, go to the ER or a medical doctor first. For neck pain and stiffness without those signs, a chiropractic exam is a good next step.
No doctor referral is needed to see a chiropractor in Texas. Some health plans require one for coverage.
