Why symptoms can be delayed
Neck stiffness, headaches and shoulder soreness after a jolt sometimes appear a day or two later. That is one reason to get checked even if you felt fine at the scene.
Dr. Caruso will ask about the accident, review any medical records or imaging, and evaluate neck movement and tenderness.
Care that may be considered
- Gentle chiropractic care as appropriate
- Soft tissue work and massage
- Progressive mobility and strengthening exercises
