Woman suffering from whiplash after an auto accident What is Whiplash?

Whiplash is when the muscles, cartilage cushion discs and tissues are damaged by a sudden impact to the neck area, from the result of the jolting of the neck and head.

Whiplash damage to the cervical region occurs most often from vehicle collisions, but can also occur doing sports activities and violent scuffles.

The Importance of Receiving Immediate Chiropractic Care for Whiplash

It is important to obtain whiplash treatment quickly because within a day, it can progress to massive headaches, the inability to turn your head and feelings of weakness.

In addition, the pain can extend down the back, across the shoulders and into the arms. Insomnia, distorted sight, trouble focusing your thoughts and tinnitus can strike as well. As you can see, getting ahead of these various symptoms will prevent you from having to endure aches and pangs needlessly.   

How a Chiropractor Can Help Treat Whiplash 

Our chiropractor will first gather information about your medical history and the details about your injury before he administers the whiplash treatment for your recuperation.

After you and he discusses your condition, he will most likely evaluate your injury by looking at how capable you are in moving and where the sensation of pain is most intense. He could also give you an X-ray so he can implement the proper whiplash treatment.  To start you on your road to success, he could use various techniques and share suggestions, including:

  • Gentle physical therapy to help repair, ease the muscle pain and bring about an increase in the scope of your motions    
  • Demonstrate restorative exercise for you to perform at home
  • Apply hot and cold packs to the affected areas  
  • Recommend a therapeutic massage given by one of his medical staff
  • Getting adequate rest so your body has a chance to regenerate
