Patients with whiplash may benefit from Dr. Ayaz Shah’s ‘whole body’ approach to chiropractic care. This is because his focus is identifying and treating the underlying cause of your discomfort, pain, or disease, using a combination of advanced chiropractic therapies.
Dr. Shah, who is conveniently located at several locations throughout New York, NY, including Jackson Heights, South Bronx, Midtown, and Woodside, will perform a complete medical evaluation first, before recommending a treatment plan because often what appears to be unrelated symptoms are due to imbalances in the spinal column or other musculoskeletal misalignments.
What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash is usually associated with auto injuries, but patients involved in contact sports may experience sports injury-related whiplash. Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when your head and neck move back and forth rapidly without warning in a snapping movement. Whiplash may affect the muscles, tendons, discs, and nerves in that area of your body and is associated with some of the following symptoms:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Discomfort in the shoulder and back
- Blurry vision
- Tiredness and irritability
- Numbness in the upper extremities
