Post chiropractic adjustment tingling.

I went to a chiropractor for the first time ever last month for neck pain and headaches I've been experiencing. I was involved in a car accident last May where I was t-boned on my side and my head whipped to the right side. Neck pain started first then headaches came next. Anyways, chiropractor did 2 adjustments on my neck and about a week after second I started getting tingling sensations on left side of head and arm and neck. Could this be from whiplash or from the chiropractor? I stopped going to him because it scared me beyond anything. Anyone else experience this ever?

It is possible that you have a ruptured disc in the neck pinching a nerve, causing the tingling. Although chiropractic is generally safe, it could have aggravated a ruptured disc. Before any more chiropractic treatments, have your regular physician evaluate you and consider an MRI of the neck.
