Treating Symptoms from Whiplash with Chiropractic Care
Whiplash is a very common injury that often results from car accidents. The condition can be extremely painful and debilitating, making it difficult to perform everyday activities. To make matters worse, it can often lead to chronic pain without proper treatment. Chiropractic care can be an effective treatment for whiplash.
At ABChiropractic Family & Wellness, our doctors—Dr. Mario Awwad, Dr. Ryan Faulkner, Dr. Glenn Ezell, and Dr. Adriana Saladrigas—provide professional and experienced chiropractic care that can help to treat the symptoms of whiplash.
What is whiplash?
Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when the head is suddenly and forcefully whipped forward and backward, or even from one side to another. This can damage the ligaments, muscles, and discs in the neck. Whiplash is usually caused by car accidents, but it can also occur during contact sports or other activities that involve sudden impact. Oftentimes, whiplash will not become evident until hours or even days after the initial injury, making it difficult to diagnose and treat.
What are the symptoms of whiplash?
The symptoms of whiplash can vary from person to person, but they often include neck pain and stiffness, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Whiplash can also cause insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Many of the physical symptoms of whiplash can last for months or even years without proper whiplash treatment.
How can chiropractic care help?
Chiropractic care is a drug-free and non-invasive treatment option for whiplash. Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to relieve pain and improve range of motion in the neck. Because whiplash damages sections of the neck and spine, chiropractic can be especially effective in treating the condition. These techniques can also help to improve the function of the nervous system and reduce inflammation. Chiropractic care is often combined with other treatments, such as physical therapy, for maximum benefit.
