Can loss of circulation in fingers/toes be caused by whiplash?


I was in an accident (Feb. 06) where I was completely stopped. A vehicle 2 behind me slammed into the car in front of him causing THAT car to hit me. I was far enough behind the semi that I didn't hit it, but I hit the steering wheel pretty hard. Now I have SEVERE migranes (lasting days sometimes)and severe neck pain, occasionly to the point of nausea. I'm still going thru all the bs associated with insurance/work comp (I was on the clock on the way to a meeting) so needless to say, treatment has so far consisted of 10 or so PT sessions and a stream of painkillers (none of which seem to work). What really scares me is that recently (past month or 2) Ive been noticing all my fingers/toes will go completely numb & turn purpleish or completely white. They feel like Im standing in the snow with bare feet. I'll put them in warm water/use an heatingpad to make them feel normal, but sometimes it takes awhile. Could this be due to whiplash/nerve damage? Is this dangerous? Any fix?

Get to a Chiropractor promptly!!!! You have pinched nerves from the whiplash. DO NOT NEGLECT DO THIS. It won't take that many adjustments to get it straight and keep it straight. But it will take 5 or 6, since once your back and neck is misaligned for any length of time it takes more to keep it in place. GO RIGHT AWAY.

I neglected my whiplash (thinking it would go away) 26 years later I still have problems with the vertebrae in my neck.

Yes, any injury to the back or spine can cause circulation problems, seek professional assistance.

i was in a similar accident myself was hit from behind from a drunk driver when i was stopped at a stop light i had severe whiplash and i to had my fingers and arms and toes go very numb the best thing that i did that work wonderfully was i went to a chiropracter however it took 3 visits a week for a whole year but it helped more than i can even say
