Whiplash Treatment
Victims of car wrecks, bicycle accidents, contact sports injuries, equestrian falls, amusement park rides, airplane incidents, assault, and falls from elevated heights frequently seek whiplash treatment. Whiplash injuries are caused when the skull and spine are jolted in a forward and backward manner at a rapid rate. This rapid thrust and extension movement of the neck, spine, and surrounding soft tissue results in injury to the neck vertebrae, ligaments, tendons, and/or muscles of the neck and shoulders.
Common symptoms that indicate that a person should seek whiplash treatment following a sudden trauma to the neck include headaches, head & neck pain, soreness in the shoulders, back pain, tenderness in the head, uncomfortable tingling sensations, and trouble swallowing.
The signs of whiplash may not always appear immediately following the incident. Symptoms can appear right after an accident or days after the original trauma was experienced. Most people that receive whiplash treatment will start to feel their symptoms disappear after the implementation of a proper treatment plan with the help of a Chiropractor. A whiplash treatment plan may include an intensive period of physical therapy and motion enhancement. Along with the chiropractor-administered therapy, a neck brace may be recommended for a certain period in order to stabilize the head and neck.
Physical therapy is often employed in whiplash treatment as a rehabilitation method that restores function, improves mobility, relieves pain, and prevents or limits permanent physical disability.Whiplash pain can be treated very effectively with chiropractic whiplash treatment.
Physical therapy, as a whiplash treatment option, promotes healing of the musculoskeletal tissue that has been misalignment, torn, bruised, or damaged because of the accident or trauma. Chiropractic treatment can help the body heal these injuries by providing resources and assistance to promote the healing of the damaged tissues, reducing or eliminating pain, reducing the potential for re-injury, and improving the overall health and well-being of the patient.
Inter-segmental traction tables are often utilized during whiplash treatments.Chiropractic adjustments are a typical form of treatment for these injuries and your chiropractor can determine if this therapy will be beneficial in the care of your particular condition.
