Dr. Mina Iskander

Each year, more than two million Americans experience whiplash . Also called a neck strain or sprain, it occurs when the head suddenly snaps forward, then backward — a whip-like motion that overstretches the joints, muscles, and ligaments of the neck and upper back.

Although neck pain is common immediately after a whiplash injury , some people don’t experience pain until a few hours, days, or even weeks later. A later onset of symptoms doesn’t indicate a more serious injury, but regardless of when pain starts, don’t ignore it.  Dr. Mina is a chiropractor in the cities of Anaheim and Santa Monica.
