Whiplash


Whiplash is an injury to the soft tissues of the neck that occurs from a sudden jerking or “whipping” of the head. This type of motion strains the muscles and the ligaments of the neck beyond their normal range of motion. Often, you feel pain and stiffness in your neck for the first few days following a whiplash injury. You might then feel better, but the pain and stiffness may come back several days later. The discomfort you feel may involve surrounding muscle groups in your head, chest, shoulders, and arms.

Whiplash often occurs when a vehicle stops suddenly in a car crash or is struck from behind. Either of these two actions causes what is inside in the vehicle to be thrown forward – including passengers. A seat belt will keep a person’s body from being thrown forward, but the head may snap forward, then backward, causing a whiplash injury in the neck. In addition to car accidents, whiplash can be caused by roller coasters and other amusement park rides, sports injuries, or being punched or shaken. (Whiplash is one of the hallmarks of shaken baby syndrome.)

 

Common symptoms of whiplash include blurred vision, difficulty swallowing, irritability, fatigue, dizziness, pain between the shoulder blades, pain in the arms or legs, pain in the feet and hands, nausea, ringing of the ears, and vertigo.

I came to see Dr. Andrew when I was pregnant and his care did wonders in managing the pain of my last trimester! The pain in my hips and back were so bad at times and regular visits with him helped keep things aligned, which lessened the pain greatly. So glad to have such a great chiropractor for my family!

Eastview Chiropractic is a pleasant place to go. Dr. Erlandson is always on his A game and got the job done after my car accident. He brings charisma to the table and gives you undivided attention. He works from the heart. At the front desk, you have Julie & Kim, they bring so much positive energy into the room that you leave out with a smile. Emilie, the massage therapist, she goes above & beyond. So many techniques under her belt. So knowledgeable. So caring. I walked out feeling like a new person. At the end of the day, I highly recommend going to Eastview. You will be leaving happy and healed.

After seeing many chiropractors in my 40+ years of seeking chiropractic treatment, I would honestly have to say that Dr. Erlandson, is by far, the BEST! He is kind, compasionate, and knows exactly where the "trigger points" in my neck & shoulder areas are & when I leave, I feel so much better. He also has shown me some exercises to do at home; and has his patients' best interest in mind. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking an outstanding chiropractor!

I started seeing Dr. Erlandson in the fall of 2012 for lower back pain. I’ve been to several chiropractors over the years and I have never had just a great adjustment. No pressure for several additional visits yet you know that he’s done such a thorough job! Dr. Erlandson takes such pride in his work and wants to make sure he’s done everything he can for you! His professional, compassionate, friendly and all around just a great doctor! His staff is always friendly and they make you feel so comfortable! I’ve had several massages from Emilie and she is fantastic at what she does! My son also see’s Dr. Erlandson and has been gone for 7 months at Basic Training and Advanced Training for the Army. He saw Dr. Erlandson right before he left and when we picked him up from the airport after our hello’s the first thing he asked for was for me to see if Dr. Erlandson could see him the next day! If you want to be treated by professionals that truly care about you then you’ve found the right place! I would recommend Eastview to anyone I know!

I have been a patient of Dr. Erlandson's and Eastview Family Chiropractic since summer. I am a dental hygienist who always has sore shoulders, neck and back from the awkward positions I sometimes have to use. The frequent adjustments and tissue massage will extend my career. I'm so glad I found this clinic.

I was referred to Dr. Erlandson by my wife and my daughter. They have both had wonderfull results and continue to go to him for help with neck and back problems. Dr Erlandson examined me and said I wasn't in need of his services, which says a lot for his integrity.
