Are you suffering from a Whiplash injury? Whiplash is a type of injury that is often sustained during a car accident or a sudden movement of the head whipping back and forth. This trauma can cause damage to the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the neck.

Massage therapy, ice/heat therapy, and acupuncture may also be used to help reduce inflammation and promote healing. In some cases, chiropractors may also recommend exercises or stretch to help improve range of motion and strength.
Our chiropractic team in Norman is very experienced in helping patients deal with Whiplash injuries and getting on the path to recovery.
What is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a common injury that can occur from a car accident, sports injury, or other sudden movements. This happens when the head is quickly twisted or bent backward and creates a strain on the neck. When this happens, your spine can be stretched or compressed and can result in damage to your ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
These events can also cause small (or large) misalignments in your spine, which is referred to as a subluxation. Subluxations can put pressure on your nerves and cause pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and muscle spasms.
At our family chiropractic office in Norman, we offer comprehensive care following car accidents or other traumas to relieve symptoms from Whiplash injuries.
Common Causes of Whiplash Injuries
Whiplash can be caused by any event that puts an unordinary strain on the neck.
The risk of whiplash increases with age. People who do physically demanding work such as athletes, construction workers, mechanics, military personnel, etc., are all at a greater risk of getting this type of injury. Being involved in an accident that involves car crashes or other high-speed collisions is also a major risk factor
It is estimated that 1/3 of all car accidents involve whiplash injuries. According to some studies, as many as 90% of all individuals involved in car accidents have some type of neck pain after an accident. Certain factors can increase the risk for whiplash.
Symptoms of Whiplash Injuries
As a result of whiplash, many people experience headaches and migraines that can be difficult to treat. Whiplash also causes problems with your range of motion in the neck and shoulder area causing stiffness and discomfort.
Other whiplash symptoms include:
Pain
Stiffness
Muscle spasms
Headaches
Irritability
Upper backaches
Fatigue
Lack of sleep
Reduced range of motion around the neck

Dr Hewett is an outstanding chiropractor! My lower back and hips have never felt better! I enjoy the decompression treatments, because it helps open up the areas between by vertebrae…hopefully preventing my degenerative arthritis, in my spine, from getting worse. Dr Hewett’s staff is wonderful too! Very professional, knowledgeable and kind! I 100% recommend Hewett Chiropractic!
Dr hewett is a good dr. Definitely wants to help ya and see ya feeling better. Unfortunately I was seeking out a specific adjustment that is not offered currently by this establishment.(not sure if it will be at some point) the Y-Strap/ring dinger. I found a spot I had called previously before going to hewett and they called and was able to see me for the adjustment I was looking for. All in all I would definitely recommend him to people no problem. Hopefully he will integrate the Y-Strap into his practice at done point. Thanks doc, ya helped me get out of the agonizing neck pain but I just needed that extra adjustment.
I am simply amazed at the level of improvement in my daily life after just a few visits. I will recommend Dr. Hewett to EVERYONE. Thank you so much for the awesome treatment that I received.
Dr. Hewett is such caring, insightful, knowledgeable, beautiful person. He is honest and straight forward about treatments and possibility of success. Trust him, he can help, and if he can't he will be honest!
All around amazing guy! Does great work but also is very invested in helping you in all healthy lifestyle roles. Office staff is always great to work with! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dr Hewett has done wonders for my back pain and works hard to create solutions as well as treatment. Everyone in his office is always so friendly and helpful!
Tyler knows his trade and is very passionate about it. He thinks outside the box from what you would usually get from a chiropractor. He won't just adjust you, he will provide you with ways to find a permanent solution to your aches and pains through simple daily exercises as well. Highly recommend if you are in the market for a chiropractor.
Absolutely the best! I have many issues being a horse trainer and Tyler has helped me so much not only with adjustments but also and so importantly teaching me how to strengthen my muscles to support how I use my body training horses. The friendliest service and truly listening to me about my issues.
Tyler Hewett is so thoughtful and caring with his work. He takes X-Rays first before anything. I wouldn’t have known I had a pars fracture if he wouldn’t have done an X-ray of my spine first. I’m so glad I decided to go to him before I continued lifting heavy in the gym. I definitely recommend him to anyone needing an adjustment, cupping, and any other work done. He’s great with athletes!
Dr. Hewett takes x-rays in his office before even adjusts you. He even explained quick and to the point what we needed to work on. Came up with a plan for how many visits I needed to fix some of my issues. After a few visits I bragged to my husband and he started going and our kids. I try to tell as many people as I can about him. He is definitely worth the trip. Even his front desk Ashley is worth the visit she's friendly, chatty and works hard. They are really quick responding to calls and text messages.
Dr. Hewett is very professional and had me feeling better after the first appointment. Very knowledgeable and friendly, I received the best adjustment I have ever had
Though I have struggled with chronic back pain for years now, a self inflicted neck injury is what got me in to Dr. Hewett's office. He was able to establish a treatment plan that worked for me on my first visit, now I have been seeing him for around 2 months and my neck pain is gone and my back pain is manageable. Dr. Hewett is friendly, explains what he's doing and why and genuinely cares about your well being. Seeing him has helped me tremendously, I recommend coming to him for any chiropractic needs.
Tyler is really good about letting you know what’s goin on with what you’re seeing him for and explains it in a way that you can understand without a degree. He’s a great guy who really cares about his patients, I’ve been to a few chiropractors but I believe my search for the right one has come to an end.
Update: I took my 2 yr old in to get adjusted to help with her clubbed feet and doctor Hewett did such a good job with her she was so at ease during the whole appointment which is surprising because she usually doesnt like strangers. If you have a child needing to be adjusted this is the doctor to see!!<br><br>Staff is friendly and quick to help when you walk in. Doc did an amazing job popping all my trouble spots! 10/10 would get my back cracked like a glow stick again by doctor Hewett!
Best chiropractor I’ve ever had. Hands down. Tyler truly wants you to feel your best and achieve long term solutions. So much more than just getting your back popped every single week. I started going 3x a week and currently have never felt better despite sitting for work 8-10 hours a day.<br><br>Can’t say enough good things about this place and their wonderful staff 🙌🏽🙏🏼
I’ve been looking for a local chiropractor for a while now to help with my back pain from playing golf. After one visit, Dr. Hewett made my back pain disappear. The atmosphere was great and the people were very personable and awesome customer service!
I had been experiencing pain that had been caused from me being in the roofing industry. Dr. Hewett is the man to go see! He was able to get me back to feeling normal and pain free after a few visits.
