Chiro for Whiplash
Whiplash, technically referred to as a Whiplash Associated Disorder (WAD), is a common injury that occurs as a result of a rapid, forceful jerking of the head, usually as a result of a car accident that results in damage to the cervical spine. It is commonly caused by motor vehicle accidents or sports injuries.
Symptoms of Whiplash
Symptoms of whiplash include:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Blurred vision
- Fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
If left untreated, whiplash can lead to chronic neck pain and permanent disability.
Chiro for whiplash
Chiropractic care can be an effective way of treating whiplash injuries, as it can help to return the spine to its normal alignment, remove muscle tightness and reduce pain and inflammation in the affected area.
Chiro for whiplash works by realigning the spine and restoring proper movement and alignment of the vertebrae. This can help to alleviate the tension and stress that whiplash places on the affected area, and helps to promote healing. Adjustments remove the interference to the nervous system as a result of the injury. Chiropractic treatment also helps to improve circulation and alleviate muscle spasms, allowing for a more full and complete recovery.
Whiplash prevention & management
In addition to spinal manipulation, chiropractors may also recommend additional treatments such as prescriptive exercises, massage and ice or heat. These treatments can help to reduce pain and inflammation, and aid in the healing process.
To reduce the risk of whiplash, it is important to practice good posture and ensure that the neck is properly supported while sitting or driving. Additionally, it is important to wear a seatbelt while driving and to keep the headrest in the correct position to provide support for the neck and head.
