Whiplash Injury

One of the most common injuries from an auto accident is Whiplash. Whiplash is a relatively common injury that occurs to a person’s neck following a sudden acceleration-deceleration force that causes unrestrained, rapid forward and backward movement of the head and neck. Fortunately, whiplash is not a life-threatening injury but it can lead to a prolonged period of disability when not treated properly. If you’ve been injured in an automobile accident, or experienced sudden forced trauma to the head or neck, visit Dr. Peter Lazarnick to discuss your treatment options.


It is critical that chiropractic care is sought immediately after an automobile accident because allowing the effects of whiplash to go untreated can induce long-term pain. Any body part that is jarred or thrown forward unexpectedly and beyond normal limits can sustain stretched ligaments or even tears. Since Dr. Peter Lazarnick specializes in the care of bones, muscles, nerves and connective tissue, he is essential to see after an auto injury has occurred.
